When I first told Claire I wanted to go to Stingray City while we were in Antigua, she was really unsure because of the whole Steve-Urwin-getting-killed-by-a-stingray thing. Before we went I did lots of research and made sure it wasn't cruel to the stingrays, but none of them are forced into a pool or area, it's right out in the open ocean and they choose to come in and interact with people and get some yummy squid. There was heaps of stuff we wanted to do that there weren't any excursions for (or we would need to do multiple excursions), so we hired a Jeep for a day, and did it all ourselves, including Stingray City. It was so much fun!!
