This is a compact, focused ocean outing: board a private vessel, slip into clear water to inspect coral gardens, and step onto the shallow sandbars of Stingray City for a calm, hands-on encounter with southern stingrays. The private format means the pace is set to the group and guided instruction is constant, making the best use of a three-hour window.
