We were having such a good time that none of us could believe it was already time to head back. Great crew, beautiful water, and plenty of laughs with our group throughout the trip. We'd absolutely do it again.
My husband and I were staying on Seven Mile Beach and wanted to spend a morning exploring the island. This tour was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Starfish Point was absolutely beautiful, and getting in the water with the stingrays was something we'll remember for a long time. Would book it again without hesitation.
We visited Grand Cayman on a cruise and booked this excursion after hearing great things about Stingray City. The stingrays were definitely the highlight, but we also loved Starfish Point. The water was beautiful everywhere we went, and the snorkeling stop gave us a chance to see plenty of fish. One of our favorite excursions of the trip.
We were staying in Grand Cayman for a week, and this ended up being the activity we talked about the most afterward. The stingrays were amazing, and Starfish Point was every bit as beautiful as the photos. The crew was friendly and kept the atmosphere fun throughout the trip. Definitely a highlight of our stay.
I knew Stingray City would be fun, but I didn't expect to enjoy the entire tour this much. The snorkeling was excellent, the water was crystal clear, and Starfish Point was one of the prettiest places we visited during our vacation. Everything was well organized and never felt rushed. A great experience from start to finish.
I booked this for my birthday and honestly couldn't have picked a better way to celebrate. Beautiful water, great snorkeling, and plenty of time to enjoy being out on the boat with family and friends. Everyone had a fantastic time.
Great trip, friendly staff, well organized, and worth the money.
This “outfit” canceled our booking while we were on the tender 45 minutes before we were to leave. They say it was because of rough seas, but everywhere we went around the island people were snorkeling. I have no reason as to why they would’ve canceled this booking,, let alone on such short notice, but they left us at the mercy of whatever skanky tourist rip offs were at the dock. We ended up on a tour that took us to every tourist trap on the island. I would never again book with this company as they have absolutely no loyalty to you as a customer or to supplying alternatives for people that they cancel on at the last minute. Run do not walk away from this outfit. Never schedule anything with them.
Loved this place! The plantation house museum was fascinating and the Sky Explorer offered some of the best views I’ve ever seen. Staff were great and everything felt organized and clean. Don’t skip the snack bar—the view from there is also amazing!
Hi Depart, We’re thrilled you loved your Sky Explorer Adventure in St. Maarten during your Caribbean Princess cruise! The panoramic views from Sentry Hill and the charm of the plantation museum truly make this one of the island’s must-see experiences 🌴.

Share your amazing moments and tag us on Instagram or Facebook at @NextExperienceTravel so other travelers can discover this unforgettable St. Maarten adventure too!

They did not pick us up and there I paid for a ride. The address on their page was not findable by the taxi driver. And the phone number is a number in cancun. This is a scam
