Stingray city

[mom4fun]

Does anyone have suggestions for a non-Disney excursion that goes to stingray city on a catamaran?

There are a lot of tours going there by all kinds of different means - if you google stingray city or look at excursions or tour operators on trip advisor you should be able to find a list and reviews.

We did the stingray city on a different cruise line where we took out two-seater speed boats. we arrived there before any of the big boats, so we had some private time with the stingrays before the hoards of people arrived there. Then we left and went snorkling. We are going again, this time with our two boys. I notice DCL does not offer this excursion. I am not sure if it is still offered someplace else or if that company doesn't exist anymore. Not sure, but it was worth the little extra money to arrive early.

We used captain marvins last year and were very pleased.

We used Moby Dick tours. It was a great experience, they have tons of reviews on tripadivsor also.

We used Ebanks Watersports. We loved our experience. They were super helpful in responding to emails before the cruise. They picked us up on time in a clean van to take us to the boat. It was spacious and really nice speedboat. Our captain and "stingray" wrangler were wonderful. They were informative and helpful. We were provided with snorkeling equipment and squid to feed the rays. It remains my favorite cruise experience of all time.

I would highly recommend Sting Ray Sailing. Gorgeous 40' catamaran , we were one of only 2 families that day. they actually monitor disney cruise port days and times so that you'll never be rushed for time. highly recommend ! we went to sting ray city then a really great reef for very good snorkeling . Very knowledgeable crew and captain. i wrote a review on trip advisor , if i can find it, I'll post it good luck! p.s. Cayman Eco Adventures is their sister company but they use a "fast boat " brand new, very luxurious.

Stingray sailing was one of the ones I was considering. I love being on a catamaran that I can layout on. So relaxing. It seems hard to find tours that use true catamarans. We used DCL, that did stingray city and rum point beach, last time. This time we will be on the Fantasy and time is too short for them to offer this.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Hi! I'm considering them for my Jan cruise. Did you do jet skis and snorkel or JS and beach? TIA
I know both include Stingray City
