Small Group: Honeymoon Harbor Southern Stingray Encounter

Honeymoon Harbor's reputation rests on what lives in its water. Wild southern stingrays gather in the turquoise shallows of this protected cove, drawn by the warm, clear conditions that make it one of Bimini's most consistently beautiful destinations. Guests wade in to feed and interact with them, guided on how to approach these animals respectfully. The stingrays are accustomed to human presence but remain wild, gliding through knee-deep water with no particular agenda. Nurse sharks patrol the surrounding area, and tropical fish fill the shallows. Beach access is included, and the setting is reason enough to linger just a bit longer.
