Stingray city trips

In Grand Cayman the Stingrays Swim with divers and snorkelers as they have grown accustomed to being fed, held and caressed by humans. Most of the local Stingray handlers will teach you how to pet them, feed them squid, hold them and kiss them.

Our captain Arthur will give you a “famous” stingray back or full body massage as careful as possible to avoid the abuse of the creatures..

Stingrays are usually docile and curious, their usual reaction is fleeing at any disturbance.

TIPS FOR FEEDING THE STINGRAYS

1. Hold the squid in a upright position with 2/3 of it sticking out of your loosely clenched fist as in the picture above!

2. Put the squid directly underneath the Stingray directly below the eyes where the mouth is located.

3. Remember to release the squid when you feel the Stingray’ suction
