About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Antigua is home to Stingray City. The Norwegian Sky ports at St John's on the 5th day of our Caribbean Cruise. Going to Stingray City is a must when visiting Antigua and Barbuda. We take a van to Stingray City from the Norwegian Sky about 20 minutes away from port. After our briefing, we board the boat and set off to the ocean. Once we get there, we enter the water to begin our adventure. The guys running the show were very entertaining and very knowledgeable educating us about stingrays and their environment. We have the Free at Sea Plus which allowed us to have a $50 credit on all excursions for each person that has the upgraded drink package. Alcohol drinks are not the only benefits to this program. Besides the excursion credits, we have unlimited Starbucks and bottled water. Stingray City in Antigua is a popular tourist attraction where visitors can interact with Southern stingrays in their natural habitat. Located on the northeastern coast of Antigua, this destination offers a unique and safe experience to get up close with these gentle creatures in the shallow waters of a protected bay. Hereโ€™s what you can expect: - **The Experience**: Visitors usually take a short boat ride to a shallow sandbar where the water is calm and clear. The stingrays, which are accustomed to human interaction, swim around freely, allowing guests to feed, touch, and even hold them under the guidance of experienced staff. - **Guided Tours**: Most tours are led by knowledgeable guides who provide insights into the behavior and biology of stingrays. They also ensure that both the visitors and the animals are safe. - **Safety**: The stingrays at Stingray City are used to human interaction and are generally very gentle. Tour operators provide safety instructions, including how to approach and handle the stingrays properly. - **Other Activities**: Some tours also offer snorkeling opportunities, where you can explore the vibrant coral reefs nearby and encounter a variety of marine life. Stingray City is ideal for families, couples, and anyone interested in marine life. Itโ€™s a memorable experience that combines adventure, education, and the natural beauty of Antigua. #antigua #stingraycity #ncl #usvirginislands #stingray #norwegiansky Our Equipment: GoPro5 : https://amzn.to/3W706JP GoPro10 : https://amzn.to/3JoNRRt Nikon Z30 : https://amzn.to/4d2bOvo Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra DJI Mini 2 Our Software and Subscription Services: https://share.epidemicsound.com/cyumoq Adobe Premier Pro Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸฅณPlease subscribe to our channel to stay in touch so we can share what we are up to!๐Ÿ•๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŒ… https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYptpWdN5KNCq5pwdvGNrhQ?sub_confirmation=1 Website : www.justramblinaround.com Facebook: Just Ramblin Around Instagram: @justrambinaround Email: jrawithronandjodi@gmail.com ****About**** We are Ron and Jodi.
