We had the most amazing experience! The captain & the crew were fabulous & loved that they were locals. Would definitely do this tour again & recommend it to everyone!
Don’t plan if you are on a cruise! Person called morning of, while cruise still at sea and said to get off the boat early. We had booked tender with set time so not possible to change. I called and said the tender was having problems and was delayed. I texted again as tender was pulling up to dock and said we were there. Tour started at 12:00 and they left us at 12:05 while we were walking off tender. Not prepared for cruise ship passengers!
Very knowledgeable staff and they truly care about your safety as well as the oceans! Highly recommend this excursion!
The snorkeling stops were good but the guys made it even better. I've snorkeled with rays before but these boat guys made it special. Couples with kids were included so that they enjoyed this special day.
Happy to know our crew went the extra mile to make you day that much more! hope to see you again here soon!!
This was an excellent tour and the staff was top notch. Captain and crew were very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. The stingrays were amazing. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat. Thats how good it was!! Thanks to all the good folks and crew who made this tour a truly memorable experience.

This was a last minute booking and my friend and I loved it! You get to see so many fish when snorkeling and even sea turtles!! It was cold to be so close to them! We enjoyed the stingrays and starfish as well! Would highly recommend!!
We are so happy that your last minute booking worked out perfectly and that you and your friend loved the trip! It is so cool that you got to swim so close to the sea turtles and see so many fish while snorkeling. We are thrilled you enjoyed the stingrays and starfish too. Thank you so much for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you both back on board again soon!
Great experience!!!!!! Jake and his partner Alex were amazing! They explained everything we needed to know before getting in the water. He grabbed a stingray and showed us how to feed it and how to hold it. Even took amazing pictures of all our family. If your doing a stingray excursion hands down best guy in the Cayman Islands!!!!!!
We are so thrilled to hear that your family had such an amazing experience with Jake and Alex! It is great that their instructions and tips on how to handle and feed the stingrays made everyone feel comfortable in the water. We are also happy you loved the photos they captured of your family. Thank you so much for the massive recommendation, and we cannot wait to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable day!
Jake was absolutely the best and very knowledgeable of the island as well as the water. The crew was safe, fun and our tour exceeded our expectations.

BOOK THIS TOUR-Absolutely worth it, even with small kids! Our cruise ship/tender was late arriving and we missed the check in at Rowan tours table. Rowan tours sent us a message that someone would be waiting specifically for us from another table/group. They didn’t have to do that, but they went out of the way for us to make sure we were taken care of! Top notch customer service! A short bus ride to the marina, a very nice boat/crew, a snorkel excursion, stingray city and starfish beach! We loved it all! Ice cold water was provided as were life vests and snorkel gear. Very impressed with this family owned business and all the crew. Also, please tip the boat crew if you can afford to do so. We thought the excursion was very reasonably priced compared to a lot of the excursions you could choose from the cruise line and was disappointed to see not many folks tipping the boat crew. We already want to go back, and will be sure to book again with Rowan if we do!
Right on! We are so stoked we could get everything sorted for you after your ship was delayed. Going the extra mile to make sure you didn't miss out on the rays and starfish is just how we roll! It is awesome to hear your kids had a blast and that you enjoyed the boat and gear. We really appreciate the shoutout for the crew and your kind words about tipping—it means a lot to the team. We can't wait to have you back on the water with us next time you visit!
