iancal Posted April 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2005 We booked privately with Captain Marvin and it was FABULOUS. They took us to three spots. We went first thing in the moring. Afterwards, we got dropped off at the Westin Hotel (our request-there are many hotels on that beach strip) and walked along that beautiful beach. The beaches are pubilc so we simply walked through the lobby and on to the beach. Came back to town I hour before sailing (hailed down a local bus) and went in to a few shops. The beach was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weechloe Posted April 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I totally agree. Get dropped off at the beach and walk back. The beach is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just returned in March from a private Snorkle / Stingray city tour and also had lots of time before we had to be back to the tender. We had the tour operator drop us off about 3-4 miles up the beach and walked back to the city via the beach and many beverage huts...... Stay away from Hell, we had some friends go, if you've seen the photo's you've seen all there is to see....... we had such a good time we are going back in July.

aqua Posted May 7, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2005 dsharkey, I'm also curious about your free tour as we are going to GC next month. Do you think it might be someone trying to sell you a time share? If so, there probably won't be much free time left afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted May 7, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Honestly the first time I visited Stinray City I was so tired that I took a nap. Emotionally touching the animals and feeding them, being so close to nature and outside just wore me out! Does every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
