newt98 Posted February 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2009 has anybody just gotten off the ship and used any of the guides waiting at the pier without making a reservation? how much did you pay, and how was the trip? i am mainly looking for the stingray excursion. we used nativeways a couple years ago, and they were awesome. but i'm taking all the kids this trip, and i just want to get them out to stingray city the most economical way that i can. i remeber seeing guides at the pier offering sting rays, but i cant remember the costs, and i also wonder how risky that would be? so does anybody have ny experience with this? thank you, mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

levesque146 Posted February 8, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi, we just did a tour with the kids using stingraysailing.com. It was great. Chip the captain is very nice. They only take a maximum of 25 people on thier catamaran and there's no minimum. So no crowded boat like most tours. The price was good for a 3.5 hour tour $45.00 Per person 13 years and older, $30 per person 5 to 12 years, no charge under 5 years. After Chip can drop you off at the 7 mile beach. Our kids really enjoyed this tour.....a great experience Hope this helps you and if you have any other question just ask.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have one question...how was the snorkeling at the reef? 6-8 feet of water seems kind of shallow. Did you see lots of fish, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levesque146 Posted February 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2009 it wasn't the best snorkling that I did....there were 2 eels there but not that many fishes. but then I didn't venture off to far from the boat. But the people that did seemed happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
