Catamaran to Stingray City
Sail in a catamaran into the warm, shallow waters of Stingray City to interact with stingrays on their turf.
At a local yacht club, board a catamaran for a gorgeous ride over North Sound to the stingray sandbar. As you wade in waist-deep water, enjoy being surrounded by wild juvenile to adult stingrays. Having been exposed to and interacted with local fisherman, you may catch a stingray showing off for tourists. During your boat ride, you’ll hear about the area’s history, the stingray’s habitat, and return to the port with epic memories of your day interacting with stingrays.
