Description
Our Business is family-owned and operated.

We offer complimentary bottled water, juice, snorkeling gear, and squid to feed the stingrays. Enjoy the natural breeze as you take a boat ride to the first stop which is the Coral Gardens/Barrier Reef. There is a very high density of coral heads, which allows you to see lots of fish. Sometimes you can also see wild sea turtles and lobsters. After this you take a short boat ride less than 10 minutes to the World's famous Stingray City Sandbar where you will find southern stingrays in abundance. Swim alongside and experience these beautiful animals up close. You are not done yet, after this your next stop is the Starfish Beach. Our guides will teach you how to properly handle these remarkable creatures.

It was good, especially for the price. A little short at each spot - possible because we got off to a late start. I have been to Stingray City about 10 times and this is the 1st tour the crew said no masks. I know I am not swimming but to get good underwater pictures I need to see. Half or more of the experience is seeing them underwater while you stand.
Everything about this trip was truly amazing! From our pick up to our drop off. I would highly recommend when you are visiting the Cayman Islands.
So much fun and the guides on Big Dee were awesome!!! Definitely a must do in the Caymans!
Great experience for the price! We had a good amount of time at each stop point to explore. Great for all ages
Incredible experience with an incredible crew! Would absolutely go again :) the crew was very kind and made sure everyone had a good time. The stingrays were incredible. Don’t get to see those in Chicago everyday
This was a great adventure! The guides were knowledgeable and made it fun. The perfect amount of time to experience what the sea has to offer. I highly recommend.
This was a great experience for our family of seven. I chose this tour because the price was the best. The guides were helpful and friendly. They made us feel very safe on the boat and in the water.
Our family had a great time on this excursion. The two on board the boat, Adrian and Carlos, did an outstanding job. We got to see so many fish snorkeling and everyone got to hold the stingrays. I nice bonus was seeing all of the starfish. This is a must trip in Grand cayman and these guys did a great job.
We brought our toddler and everyone was so kind and accommodating. The staff even offered to watch her while my husband and I snorkeled for a bit, and did great with her.
The best part of our trip! Each stop was unique and beautiful but the sting rays will be our favorite experience.
