It’s quite unusual that such powerful ocean creatures can be so human-friendly, but the history of this sandbar pretty much says it all. Throughout the years of living with fishermen, the stingrays in the area have developed a kinship with humans and openness for interaction. Why? Well, fishermen would dispose of unused conch and squid meat in nearby areas, which fed these docile stingrays. Since then, the sound of boats has become a call for feeding time, and as to be expected from all animals and their intelligence, they gather to munch. Divers and tourists continue this healthy relationship by feeding similar meals to the stingrays today and foster social gatherings for tropical happiness. Humans do remember, though, that we’re guests in their historic home and must treat our visit as such.
Stingray City excursions continue to be a hotspot for families, couples, solo-travelers and tourists of all ages for myriads of reasons beyond those listed above. Interacting with ocean wildlife on an island paradise is not too good to be true, so if you have any questions or would like to learn more about the excursions offered by Cayman Visitor, contact us here.
