If you decided to go to Antigua with your children, you should definitely visit Stingray City. Hardly anywhere else in the world will you have a chance to communicate so closely with those amazing creatures. The dive into the unknown world of stingrays starts from the base. Experienced instructors will tell you and your child how to behave near these sea animals and how to feed them. The kids can first practice those skills right there on a toy. You can rent here a boat and a snorkel with a diving mask. The transportation to the place, where the stingrays are living, is already included in the excursion fee.
Under the instructors’ guidance, you can feed those sea creatures with calamari, pet them or swim with them. Those, who like snorkeling, will appreciate the opportunity to swim by themselves in the clearest water and to watch other underwater inhabitants. When you come back to the base, you can take a shower and buy a souvenir with a stingray picture for your child. If you want to walk through the island on foot, use The 5am Hiking Club service, which organizes walking tours around the island for people with different level of physical training. Honestly judge yours and your child’s skills, and go for a walk! You can visit a local settlement on your way, to see the life of the local people.
