Board a private Donzi for a curated half-day trip to Stingray City, Coral Gardens and Starfish Point. Expect guided snorkeling with experienced crew, calm shallow sandbars, and a chance to see rays and reef fish up close.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung Donzi cuts through the Caribbean glass, engines ticking as it eases away from the marina and the island's familiar shoreline shrinks. Salt air pushes at your face and the guide points north toward the shallow sandbar where southern stingrays gather—calm, curious, and used to human presence. The sandbar becomes the theater: rays glide forward as if inviting contact while the guide narrates safety and behavior.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and reduce skin irritation after long sun exposure on the water.
Wear water shoes
Shallow sandbars and boat ladders can be sharp; slip‑resistant water shoes protect feet and make wading easier.
Secure seasickness meds
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure—four hours on the water can be rough on some.
Bring a dry bag
A small dry bag keeps keys, phones, and sunscreen safe when you’re in the water between snorkel stops.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin without damaging coral—apply before boarding and reapply after swimming.

Mask and snorkel (personal)

Water shoes
Protects feet on sandbars, boat ladders, and when stepping onto rocky shorelines.
