Castaway Ray's Stingray Adventure at Castaway Cay

Just would like to gather some thoughts on this "adventure". Since it's billed as an all day type deal, is there a wait? Thanks!

My husband and son have done this twice and really enjoyed it both times. As of January, it did not last all day. It was an hour-long program, booked in advance like other shore excursions, but offered several times throughout the day.

The stingrays have had their barbs removed, so they can't really hurt anyone. Participants are given fish treats to encourage the rays to swim right up to them.

My son highly recommends the Stingray Adventure. (He's now 9, and was 7 the first time he did it.) Let us know if you have more specific questions.

Happy planning,
Melissa

All day? When I did it two years ago, it was only about an hour. Great fun, though. I'm doing it again next Sunday!

The "all day" part has to do with DCL offering the excursion many times during the day. However, individuals can't keep coming back.

They have groups all day long, so there are opportunities throughout the day, and no waits, unless you show up early for your appointment.
