3.Starfish Point, Stingray City-Sandbar & Coral Gardens

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 289 reviews · from $65

You’ll ride from Safehaven Marina to Stingray City, Coral Gardens, and Starfish Point with Captain Bryan’s team. Expect a short reef snorkel, waist-to-chest-deep water with southern stingrays, shallow starfish viewing, supplied masks and life vests, and help from guides such as Sheldon, Leland, Jake, and Pancho.

“This excursion was everything that I hoped it would be. It was less crowded than the typical NCL excursions, it only had around 20 people on it. That made for a better experience snorkeling at the coral reef and allowed the photographer to spend more time with each person at Stingray City. The starfish portion of the excursion was fun and educational. This was one of the best shore excursions that I've been on in years! A few things to be aware of: * no fins were allowed on the coral reef snorkel - was my first time snorkeling without fins. Water at the reef is about 12 feet deep.…”

4.StingrayCity ,Coral Garden & Starfish Tour.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 202 reviews · from $69

Spend about 3 hours and 15 minutes visiting Stingray City, Coral Gardens, and Starfish Point from Safehaven Marina. The tour includes transport, snorkel gear, life jackets, water, and soda. Crews such as Jake, Alex, and Pancho keep the day friendly and family-focused, with photos available for an extra fee.

“We had a frustrating day at no fault of the tour operator. Our cruise ship had to change ports at the last minute. That made us have to tender in. The tender process was slow and we got stuck on a tender that did not move for an hour. This wrecked a lot of people‘s plans. The tour operator offered us a noon excursion, but that changed to 130 which we did not feel comfortable, taking given all of the shenanigans of the day. It was not their fault and not our fault. The tour operator graciously gave us a refund through Viator. The people were very nice and accommodating.…”
