Trust me, this is a totally safe thing to do. Their name implies pain, but only to those that mean harm. Stingrays in Cayman love to be held, fed, petted, and you will not be dissapointed.
Even my wife managed to kiss one after much prodding.
We went to GC on a cruise with Carnival and didn't book the excursion on the trip intentionally, as they rip you off. We paid half of what those who booked through the cruiseline did.
You will take a short bus ride to the pier to board a boat for the 30 minute ride to the sandbar. Once there you will jump into about 4 feet of water with an experienced guide who will manage to catch a stingray for everyone to touch, hold, and feed.
Shortly thereafter we got some squid to feed to the rays. You'd better keep your thumb tucked in, as stingrays have powerful suction. Hoover is still looking for that technology by the way.
The rays do in into a little frenzy with all that food, and I received a little hickie from an overzealous girl that sucked on my arm. No big deal, I took it in stride and had a great time.
A must do thing in Grand Cayman
