These wild, gentle, and graceful creatures roam free in the North Sound, a 35-square-mile area of ocean protected by the reef.&nbsp; In years gone by, local fishermen would anchor their boats in the calm shallow water inside the reef in the North Sound while they gutted their catch and threw scraps overboard. Over time, southern stingrays realized there were free meals daily in certain spots in the North Sound, so they returned day after day.&nbsp; There are, in fact, two separate sites: Stingray City lies in 12 feet of water, so it is ideal for snorkelers and divers. In Stingray City Sandbar, the water is just 2-4 feet deep, so even non-swimmers can safely stand in the shallow water, surrounded by stingrays. The sandbar, with its white sandy bottom surrounded by beautiful coral reefs, is suitable for all ages and offers the best photo opportunities.&nbsp; Southern Stingrays are large creatures; their wingspans can reach two meters across, although the males are noticeably smaller than females. Their soft and silky wings feel like velvet as they brush past you. Stingrays are incredibly gentle animals, and their instinct is to flee from danger. Their poisonous sting in their tail is for defensive purposes, mainly against sharks, their only predators in the open water outside the reef. After feeding the Stingrays, snorkeling, and taking photos, you will return to the land base, where you can rinse off the seawater, showering under a coconut tree. Enjoy a complimentary rum or fruit punch, and browse in the gift shop before your return journey to your ship</div> <div class='ewa-rteLine'></div>
