Extremely heart breaking to see the turtles in this environment
Our company doesn't deserve this one star for another's actions, however you have to understand you are in another country. turtle is a part of my culture, the facility is a bit small i ken you that, however without this conservation program there wouldn't be more of the three species we have here on island today since we basically ate them all. If didn't like these types of tours don't support it.
Absolutely a fantastic time. We were on the boat called “Angel”. The captain and crew were top notch and extremely knowledgable. Had a fantastic time and cannot recommend this enough. There were two cruise ships in at the time and they sent a private car to pick us up to ensure we made it on time. Above and beyond service and cannot thank them enough. Well worth the money. Best tour on the island.
Thanks for such a highly recommendation of us, happy you time with us was a wonderful one. hope to see you again soon!!!
Great day out on the water. Captain and mates were so accommodating. Really put together. Enjoyed every part! Even the bus driver was lovely!
We are so stoked you had such a great day out on the water with us. It is awesome to hear that the captain, mates, and even the bus driver all helped make the trip feel so well put together. We are thrilled you enjoyed every part of the experience! Can't wait to have you back for another round of island vibes soon.
Had to wait a long time for the boat to even leave. We were left in the sun just waiting no updates nothing just sitting there wondering when do we leave when other boats around loaded up welll after us and left before us. Staff was ok Diana was helpful and friendly and answered all questions. There needs to be more order espically when the boat was unloaded everyone was standing around wondering. As the women checking everyone in was yelling with no order. Stingrays and starfish point were amazing. Very cool exeperiene and a must due!
Thanks for the honest feedback! We are stoked to hear that the stingrays and starfish were such a cool experience for you. We are also glad Diana was able to help out with your questions during the wait. We truly apologize for the lack of updates and the confusion at the dock. Again thank you for the honest feedback on how to improve even more! hope to see again soon on!
Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen. Leave your phone at the hotel. They took pics of the stingrays for us. I am 68 and was able to enjoy everything-Angel and his crew took great care of all passengers.
It is wonderful to hear you had such a great time with Angel and the crew! We are thrilled that you felt well-supported and could fully enjoy the stingrays without worrying about your phone. Thank you for the helpful tips on sunscreen and for sharing your experience with us. Reviews like yours truly make our day and help other travelers plan their trips. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Simply great! As someone that travels alot and does a lot of exercursions this was definitely top 3 ever for me and my son. And best part was no crowds and no lines.
Simply great! Hearing that we made it into your 'Top 3 Ever' list of excursions means the world to us, especially coming from someone who travels and explores as much as you do. We are so glad that you and your son enjoyed the peace and quiet of a tour with no crowds and no lines—that’s exactly the 'K-Man' experience we strive to provide! It was a pleasure having you both on board, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another top-tier adventure in the future!
We did the Rowan Watersports – Turtle Center, Starfish, Stingray & Snorkeling Tour, and it was absolutely fantastic. This is a tour we would highly recommend. The captain and crew were wonderful—professional, friendly, and clearly experienced. We felt very safe around the stingrays, and everything was well organized from start to finish. The Turtle Center was the highlight of the tour for us. Unfortunately, our time there felt a bit short—we arrived around 1:30 pm and had to leave by 2:45 pm to meet the shuttle. That said, it made such an impression that we already know we’ll be back to explore it again on our own. The snorkeling and starfish portions were enjoyable, though the tour did feel a bit crowded at times. Fewer people per group would make an already great experience even better. A special shoutout to the bus drivers, who were fantastic. One driver in particular even stopped briefly in Hell so we could grab postcards and take photos—she was awesome. We also really appreciated how conscious the team was of timing and ensuring we returned to the cruise ship on schedule. That peace of mind is huge and very much appreciated. Overall, this was a well-run, thoughtful tour with great people and memorable stops. We’d absolutely do it again.
Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are so glad to hear that you had a fantastic day and that our team provided the 'peace of mind' you needed for your cruise schedule. It’s wonderful that the Turtle Center made such an impression—it is truly a special place for conservation! We also love that our driver could sneak in a quick stop in Hell for those postcards; we always try to add those little local touches when the schedule allows! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the group size and the timing at the Center. We are always looking for ways to refine our tours to ensure they feel personal and unhurried. We can't wait to welcome you back to Cayman for a longer visit next time!
We had an amazing time. The water can get rough during the snorkeling and stingrays, but that’s just something to be aware of. The starfish and turtle center are wonderful.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy you had an amazing time exploring the starfish and the Turtle Center. As you noted, the waters around the reef and Stingray City can sometimes be a bit adventurous depending on the wind, but that’s all part of the authentic Cayman experience! We always prioritize safety and comfort, and we're glad the beauty of the wildlife made it all worthwhile. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
I loved the great customer service and willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate my group. We were late and the company made sure that we were able to still participate in all of our planned excursions. I would use them again.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We know that travel doesn't always go according to plan, and we were more than happy to go above and beyond to make sure your group didn't miss out on any of the fun. We are thrilled you were able to enjoy every stop of your excursion! Providing attentive, flexible service is what we do as a local family business, and we can’t wait to have you back with us in Cayman again soon.
Jake and Alex on the boat were excellent. Plenty of time for all activities. We weren’t very impressed with the turtle center. The size of the turtles is impressive but they’re just swimming around in tanks. We had time to go across the street to a dolphin encounter. Only $2 admission and we really enjoyed it. It was a lot better than the turtles.
Thank you for the wonderful shout-out to Jake and Alex! We’re so glad you felt you had plenty of time to enjoy the boat activities and never felt rushed. We appreciate your feedback regarding the Turtle Center. We like to think of the Center more as a 'nursery' and conservation hub than a traditional aquarium. Their primary mission is to support and increase the populations of the three species of sea turtles found in Cayman waters. While the setting is different from seeing them in the wild, the work they do in research and release is vital to our island's ecosystem. We're glad you found the nearby dolphin encounter enjoyable as well, and we hope the rest of your trip was fantastic!
