STINGRAY CITY - This is one of the top attractions within the Cayman Islands. With some of the largest southern stingrays in the Caribbean, Stingray City is a must when visiting the Cayman Islands. On this three stop tour, you will have the opportunity to swim among some of the largest stingrays and most colorful reefs surrounding the Cayman Islands. In Stingray City the crystal clear water does not exceed five feet; the highlight of the excursion is the picture taking moment. With the assistance of boat crew, visitors will have the chance to pose near stingrays for the perfect picture, a moment not to be missed.
STARFISH POINT - During the final stop of Starfish Snorkel, guests can relax in shallow water and view various species of starfish with friends and family for a great photo opportunity. Starfish snorkeling is the highlight of the tour for many, especially for visitors with young kids.
CORAL GARDENS - Visitors will be able to witness a wide range of marine organisms and discover a vast array of colorful coral formations when they visit Coral Gardens. Furthermore, there have been instances in which turtles and stingrays have been observed spending time at this location. Despite the fact that the water depth in this particular spot can fluctuate anywhere from eight to twelve feet, it is exceptionally clear, clean and stunning.

Wonderful guides & boat! These gentleman were very knowledgeable about the area, gave us plenty of time at each stop, allowed those who were comfortable to feed & handle the stingrays & hold the starfish. They even played fun music as we journeyed along the coastline. Highly recommend for adults and families!!
Plenty of stingrays, starfish, lots of fish to see at the snorkel stop. Amazing interactions with the stingrays facilitated by the guides.
Very fun def will do again!!! Staff was amazing and very helpful!! ! Great for kids and families!!!!!
Wonderful experience! It is the full 3 hrs. When viewing the starfish, be aware of Jellyfish. My son got stung by a Jellyfish on his thigh. Swimming with the sting rays was the highlight of our entire trip. Would really recommend this activity.
The experience was completely beautiful; the guides were very kind and attentive to everyone on the tour. I am very glad I did it, and I would do it again. From the hotel pick-up and drop-off, it was an exceptional experience.
Very nice tour. We got picked up at the hotel for a short drive to the boat. Boat was small but not overcrowded. The guides were courteous and helpful. It was fun. Enough time for all 3 activities. Highly recommend. Wish there was music on the boat.
Great experience, no disappointment. The stingray part was the best. The two guides were professional, knowledgeable and made sure the experience was enjoyable for all. The starfish were in shallow water at a beach area. The stingrays at waist deep water or deeper at a sandbar. The snorkeling at 12 feet deep but life jackets provided for buoyancy.
Everything was planned well. From pickup at the port to drop off. The guides were friendly and helpful. I was on Big D’s boat and the group was a mix of all ages. It was really fun to see the stingrays, find starfish and go snorkeling. Definitely go if you want a little adventure for a few hours. Bring some snacks. They offer water and soda on the boat.
Fun filled day with great guides, Carlos and Adrian. Awesome snorkeling and the sting rays were super cool and friendly
We brought our two daughters who are in their 20’s- we all enjoyed the 3 activities - 3 hours went by very quickly! Perfect for all ages from little kids to anyone who likes the water and can climb a boat ladder. The captain and crew were sooooo good! They were kind, helpful, played great music A+. ‘My daughters were a little scared of the stingrays but the crew convinced them it was safe and even helped my daughter hold one! A must do if visiting Grand Cayman
