runningradical Posted December 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2009 You should be fine my husband is a nonswimmer and he enjoyed himself and we are in our 40's. You are provided with life vests. If I remember correctly I am five feet and the water was a little above my waist. The sting rays was a highlight of our cruise.

jean-lynd Posted December 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2009 If the water is calm it is very easy. When it is rough it can be a little hard getting out and back into the boat. The crews are very experienced at helping people with that though. When we were there it was a rough day. The 79 year old that was with us was able to do it but my 87 year old father, who walks with a cane, decided not to try it. He still enjoyed watching from the boat. It is a wonderful experience. I hope this helps! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliseinAustin Posted December 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Is Stingray City doable for elderly non-swimmers? My 11 yo is a swimmer, but the waves were really high when we went. He wore a life jacket and was fine, but if you are over 5', you should be okay -- you actually stand in the water and put your head down -- they don't want you swimiming with the stingrays -- just standing with the stingrays.
