Stingray City Experience Plus Zwei Schnorchelstopps auf Grand Cayman

We booked two tours with Captain Marvin. First was the bioluminescence tour. As we were staying on the East End, it was more convenient to get picked up a Kaibo dock instead of 7-mile beach area. They first took us to starfish point just before dusk and we learned about starfish and jelly fish. Next, we went into bio bay. They provided protective suits as well as masks, fins and snorkels. Once it got completely dark, we went into the water. It was an amazing experience. In spite of the moon being almost half, it was dark enough to see incredible luminescence, especially under or next to the boat. The staff were great and I highly recommend the experience. We were back at Kaibo around 9PM. The second tour was the Stingray City and two snorkel stops. This one left from the west side office in the 7-mile beach area. We booked the 10AM tour instead of the early morning due to the long drive in from the East End. They took us in a bus to the dock where we boarded the boat and received instructions from the staff. Snorkel gear, water and fruit juice were provided. It took about 30 minutes to reach the first snorkel spot which was very good. Clear water and lots of coral and fish. We saw a few stingrays and some barracudas, too. Next stop was Stingray City, a sandbar in the middle of the bay. The water was crystal blue and the stingrays were everywhere, swimming around your legs or rubbing against you. The staff held some rays for people to touch and even kiss (7 years good luck). We fed the rays squid and they were aggressively friendly. There was a photographer taking shots that you could buy. It was $60US for 20 pictures, but we got all 47 for that price. Next stop was a snorkel stop at the reef. Different kinds of fish and coral and also very nice. We arrived back at the dock around 1PM. Price for the stingray city plus 2 snorkel stops was only about $10 more than just the stingray city tour, so definitely worth the extra. The office is co-located in a convenience store. Good idea to get some snacks and drinks before the tour as we were pretty hungry on the way back. Some guests packed lunches. We opted to hit the little cafe in the same center for a nice lunch. The staff were great - friendly, helpful and informative. The boat was good with a nice upper deck and sunbathing area on the bow. There is a marine toilet in the lower cabin. Life vests were available to snorkelers who wished them.

Amazing crew! The stops to snorkel were phenomenal and stingray city was very fun. We would book this excursion again.

Our guides were great, very knowledgeable about the sting rays, very willing to answer questions and talk to you. Felt very safe the entire trip.

We really enjoyed the Stingray City + barrier reef & coral gardens snorkel trip with Captain Marvin’s aboard the High Rider. Capt. Richard, Barry & Romel were all very courteous & professional. Would book again. 5⭐️

Awesome experience! Plenty of time at each stop. Crew very interactive with guests. I would highly recommend this tour.

We stayed at the Westin and Captain Marvin’s is located in the minimart crossed the street. We looked at all other companies and decided to go with this one and we’re so happy that we did! Astor and his crew were kind and caring. It was nice to be in a small group setting instead of crowded like the larger boats. The bathroom on the boat was very clean! If you’re looking for a laid back trip on the water without the “extra energy” of boats that serve alcohol this is it. Simple and perfect. We will book again!

Great time… crew was friendly and attentive and punctual. Astor the captain was a skilled sailor and the entire crew made the experience memorable for our family.

Very enjoyable. Everyone was very courteous. The Stingray stop was awesome. The other two stops were also enjoyable. My three boys and I recommend this tour!

We went with Captain Marvin’s Watersports on August 6th, and we had an absolutely amazing day! Captain George, along with mates Prince, RJ and Johnathan, were extremely attentive, friendly, respectful, entertaining, and very well organized. They were always keeping an eye on the safety of all the passengers and making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. The boat was in excellent condition, very clean, modern, and well maintained. It made the entire experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. They also did an excellent job managing the tour schedule. Since we were cruise passengers with a specific departure time, they made sure the entire tour stayed on schedule so that everyone had plenty of time to return to the ship on time. That gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about missing our cruise. At one point, my wife was stung by a jellyfish, and they immediately took care of her and helped relieve the burning and discomfort. We really appreciated how quickly and professionally they responded. The entire experience was spectacular, and the crew made it even better. We highly recommend Captain Marvin’s Watersports! We would definitely do it again!

Great opportunity to interact with the stingrays and also do some snorkeling. The boat captain was very informative.
