These gentle sting rays allowed us to pat them. The guy in the wetsuit is feeding them pilchards. I am the tall, plump, blonde woman wearing the navy/black one-piece.

  • I wonder if they are still there? Did they become too reliant on human contact? Are they still trying to cuddle up to unsuspecting snorkelers? (Club Med Moorea, who ran these trips, has shut down)

  • RIP Steve Irwin. :(

  • Sting rays are about as dangerous as a puppy, it was unfortunate what happened to Steve irwin, but the ones he was with were much more bigger than what i have been with, The only scary thing the stingray does is flap water, and how it sucks up the food from your hand. they were pretty cool, did this once but i didnt submerge fully into the water

  • Such a beautiful place

  • Petting? Is the same petting i know?

  • Awww!!! They're like big, flat, aquatic puppy dogs! ^__^

  • holy crap this totally changed my perspective on sting rays

  • Stingrays are friendly! I love swimming with them.

  • I've pet stingrays before, and they are actually so cute! They get so excited about getting a treat and they feel so cool when they swim up against you. I asked the guy who worked there if they were aggressive, and he picked one up and put the whole tail in his mouth, stinger and all! Seriously, best. experience. ever.
