Grand Turk Stingray Swim Excursion Reviews

Grand Turk Stingray Swim cruise excursion
Overall Rating
Stingrays are not just for Grand Cayman! Swim with stingrays in Grand Turk and even get the opportunity to feed them as they glide by.

The boat tour to the small island with the stingrays was well performed with proper safety instructions. Seeing and feeling the stingrays were so special. We were a little dissapointed that we could not get the many fotos which were taken by the Tour operator.

Plenty of sting rays and the crew held large ones for us to touch and kiss. Very funny guys and lots of fun.

Rented a car to drive around the island, fed the wild donkeys, drinks at Bohio Beach Resort, lunch at Osprey Beach Resort, quick stop at Governor's beack, then took a private boat to Gibbs Cay to swim with the sting rays (well, just one, but still cool).

Nice day out but overpriced for what it was. I think the cruise lines are quashing competition to up the price.

Reef and Rays!!! AMAZING!! We snorkeled first, then went to visit the rays. I loved this excursion! The water is so amazing; the color is a deep blue, and so very warm. The sand is even amazing. We could have stayed on this island forever!

First we stopped for a 30 minute snorkel session. This was really fun and some of the best snorkeling I have done in the Caribbean. I was mildly frightened to see a Barracuda when jumping in the water. The instructors said it was fine and that its always here. I would have appreciated the warning! :) We then made our way to Gibbs Cay. It was a beautiful secluded mini island. The stingrays were super playful and it was a unique experience. Rum punch was the theme here again for the voyage back to the port. We then went to the pool at Margaritaville. The beach and pool is wonderful. The restaurant itself is not worth the cost. The ship is so close to the port you are better off going back on the boat to refuel and then come back out for the remainder of the day.

This was fun - the snorkeling was okay; the stingray beach was fun - guides did a great job of assisting and engaging, the beach part was really the beach next to where the cruise ship was docked - but we did have access to loungers so that was a plus. Easy to walk back to ship when done.

This was the best excursion of our cruise. Gibbs Cay & Stingray Encounter With Beach Getaway. We had 25 minutes of snorkeling over a reef. We participated with 2 young children, 6 & 8. The 6 y/o was too nervous to participate but the 8 y/o was easily able to keep up with the adults. Adventurous children will have no problems participating.

The stingray swim was fun and everyone from the children to the grandparents had fun. The crew was very attentive and responsible about safety issues. In Grant Turk if you do not do a tour either through the ship or on your own, there is not much to do.

Like Nassau, this was not our first visit to Grand Turk. We had a good time on our first trip there and an even better one this time. We had an amazing time on Grand Turk, thanks to the Chukka "Reef and Rays" excursion. Gary, our tour guide, was informative and funny and the staff on board was great. They gave us plenty of time to snorkel in the clear waters around the reef and did a great job of helping us with the rays, giving us plenty of time and opportunity to get great photos. We highly recommend this excursion. But if you're in a mood to just wing it on your own, take a short cab ride over to Bohio Dive Resort. The beach is much less rocky there and the rum punch they make (with three different kinds of rum) is absolutely incredible. There's a lot to do at the cruise port with a Margaritaville, a pool and a lot of shops, but if you hang around there all day you're missing a great island.

Snorkeled a reef where there were plenty of species of fish to be see. The crew is experienced and makes the snorkeling enjoyable for all levels. Next, went to an island where the sting rays come right up to the beach. If you adventurous enough, you can hold, pet and even kiss a sting ray.

Beautiful Island. Captain Kevin was super. Very informative. His crew, however should be more interactive. They stayed up front, out of the way and did not talk to anybody. Stingrays preformed as they should. Very nice excursion. Highly recommend

This was an excellent excursion with a 25 minute off shore snorkel, followed by time with the stingrays and then sampling fresh conch from the ocean.

You don't really swim with the stingrays, you wait for them to appear, and they swim around you. A very natural, and lovely experience--helped by the very nice trio of captain and crew, who were entertaining and forthcoming .

We did the Gibbs Cay Reef and Rays Tour, and it was a great time. This was our first time doing this excursion, and we all really enjoyed it. The crew were great with the less enthusiastic members of our group (my 11 year old son and 75year old MIL both came back onboard after a bit of snorkeling), and were very patient and helpful. The snorkeling was beautiful, and the stingray experience was just amazing. Everyone had a chance to hold and touch the rays. There was then a bit of time on the beach, which was just stunning. The boat ride is fun too. Highly recommend!
