Rum Point and Rays

[jonkim33]

Do you know of any tours that just go to stingray city and then to Rum point? We will have a 9 year old and I think the snorkeling may not be his thing. Plus we are a little worried about the 5 hours the Rays Reef &Rum point tour takes with nativeway. Do you know of anything shorter that goes to both?

 

thanks:)

We are going on Carnival Feb.2 and they offered an excursion where you swim with the sting rays and then go to Rum Point. It's about 4 hrs. long.

We are going on Carnival Feb.2 and they offered an excursion where you swim with the sting rays and then go to Rum Point. It's about 4 hrs. long.

Based on the picture on the Carnival site, their excursion uses a double-decker party boat, whereas Native Way limits their tours to no more than 25 people. We took the Rays, Reef & Rum Point tour and had plenty of 1 on 1 time with the stingrays, but those party boats had throngs of people swarming the rays. We also had a nice, leisurely visit to our favorite beach in the world! If your son doesn't want to snorkel, he can stay on the boat, but I imagine he would be fascinated with the some of the underwater sights. On our trip, we saw (and petted) a nurse shark and eel (didn't touch that one!) Also, for only $1 more than the ship's excursion, a nice lunch is included. Native Way is the WAY to go!

What did the lunch consist of?
