Stingray City is a series of shallow sandbars in the North Sound of Grand Cayman, a sheltered water body behind the island's barrier reefs. Over years, visiting boats fed the southern stingrays that gathered there, and the site became the island's best-known excursion.

A visit usually starts with a boat ride. On the shallow sandbar you can stand in water about waist-deep while rays come close. A second, deeper sandbar is used for dives. Many visitors pair the stop with a snorkel on the reef.

• Tours usually sell out in peak season, so booking ahead is advised.
• Tours run daily, seven days a week.
• Stingrays are wild animals. Researchers say feeding and lifting them may harm them, and lifting for photos is not recommended.
• Stings are extremely rare but can be very painful, so follow the crew's handling instructions.
