We did the "Everybody Loves Rays" excursion during our stop in Cozumel. I have to say this was a great experience. It is a short ride right to the beach, and from there you get to do a number of things. The stingray portion was fantastic. The stingrays are big and quite friendly and you get to feed, pet, and...

It's true that everybody loves Rays! In this interactive exhibit, we learned about Rays, and the things they do. We were able to feed them, and I found it amazing that the rays followed me like puppy dogs when I had food. I suggest trying snorkeling before trying this, as it can be scary to try it for the first... More

We did the Everybody Loves Rays excursion in Cozumel while in port on a cruise and I heartily recommend it. You meet at the pier and take a very short taxi ride to the place. Since we were a large group they split us up into two groups. One group snorkled while the other learned about the rays and vice... More

We did this as an Excursion from a cruise that we were on during spring break. I am a mother of a six and seven year old. They have already done swimming with the dolphins twice so I thought that this would be a nice change. The facility was nice and clean and the quickly sat us down to explain... More

This Snorkeling was fun and the information about the rays interesting. The content that the guides shared were inappropriate due to sexual remarks about the rays anatomy which carried over to additional comments i found to be offensive. Children were present. Based on that I'm not sure if I would recommend this. I would like to mention that the clarity... More

This place is a blast. The people here are really friendly first off. They really love the stingray's and what they are doing for them is really wonderful. They treat them wonderfully, helping to raise them until they get quite big when they are then released back into the wild. Everything here is designed to be very natural. You are... More

This was a fun trip. Huge rays! We got to pet, feed, and snorkle with them! We got great pictures with an underwater camera. Only bad thing was they ran very late...Then we had to wait for them to give instructions in english, spanish, and frech which also delayed our day. More

This proved to be much more entertaining than I initially expected Used Resort Credit from the Cozumel Palace to go and really enjoyed it A very well organised visit - well presented and fascinating - hadn't been to this sort of site before so there may be others that are better but we had fun!

These are penned (in the ocean) and the sting is clipped which grows back. They are wonderful to touch and love to be fed. The staff is excellent More
