Stingrays are gentle giants. We swam with them in the Cayman and love every moment of it. We are going back next month and taking our 14 year old son to experience it. They remind me of a large puppy just wanting to be loved. They will bump you and all they want is attention. They are precious creature and if you like the ocean, you will love them. You will remember the swim forever!!!

Hi Wendy,

I’m not 100% sure about the types of stingrays in Grand Cayman, but here in Fort Myers where I live (also in the Gulf of Mexico), they are dangerous only in the sense that if you accidentally startle or step on them you can get stung. Our stingrays are not huge like in the Crockadile Hunter show, and the barbs are small in comparison. They are good natured creatures and will even let you pick them up. They don’t bite, and will usually only sting if they feel threatened or if you accidentally step on them while they are on the sandy bottom resting or breeding.
