Stingray City to Starfish Point — Beach & Lunch
Interact with stingrays and starfish in their natural habitat, followed by a picnic lunch on a beautiful beach.
After a quick drive, you’ll be introduced to local guides, board a boat, and take a gorgeous ride to the Stingray City sandbar. Having been exposed to and interacted with local fisherman, you may see a stingray showing off for tourists as you wade into the water. You’ll then head to Starfish Point to check out the local starfish, followed by a picnic lunch on the nearby beach. Now that you’ve interacted with the local wildlife, take in the sights during your ride back to the shore then port.
