Do not miss this adventure when you’re in Grand Cayman. My girlfriend and I had the most incredible time. Feeding the stingrays, holding them, it’s truly a once in a lifetime experience. Do not miss. Full review by malexkintner

No, the barb is on the top part of the tail and not raised when they are happily feeding. Your biggest risk of injury is getting your palm nipped if you don’t properly hold the food like an ice cream cone for suction. That and tired facial muscles from smiling too much.

Absolutely. The water is shallow. I am 5’7” tall and the water came up to my waist. The boat crew get in the water with you. They carefully pick up the stingrays and let you touch them, take pictures with them, and even kiss them. The water is so clear and pretty. You can see plenty of stingrays. They do not hurt you or sting you. I really think your children will love the experience.
