Sail in the spacious and comfortable Allura catamaran and snorkel in the world famous waters of Grand Cayman’s stingray sandbar.
Sail the beautiful waters of the North Sound to the stingray sandbar. Swim, and interact with dozens of Southern stingrays. The stingrays literally eat out of your hand! You will have plenty of photo opportunities before hoisting the sails and returning. Swimming equipment, safety vest, professional instruction, supervision, food for rays, complimentary beverage are included.
Local legend has it that the stingrays began gathering in the area decades ago when fisherman would return from an excursion and go behind a reef into the sound and clean their fish in the calm water of the shallows and sand bar area. The fish guts were simply thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually congregated to feast on the discarded guts. Soon the stingrays began to associate the sound of a boat engine with a free meal. As this practice turned into a tradition, local divers realized that the stingrays could be fed by hand. In 1987, Skin Diver Magazine sent a reporter to do an article on this anomaly which fascinated the world.
