Both amazing and educational.

Our tour guide, Wyatt, was very personable and professional. He went over safety before venturing out and we felt safe the entire trip. We encountered many dolphins along the way and he described in detail as to why that is possible. We've booked a lot of tours of various things over the years, but this one by far is one of the favorites and will be remembered. Such a great time.. Enjoy!

Informative and fun!

We booked the dolphin eco tour and ended up being the only people booked so we had the captain (Andy) all to ourselves. He was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. It was our granddaughters first time on a boat and she loved it. We saw sooo many dolphins and even an alligator! Andy was great and we had a great time. Parking was easy, check in was simple. I highly recommend booking with this company.

Don't waste your money

Paid extra for the private tour and when we got to the Marina they put us on a boat with 32 other people would not offer a refund and there was no nature to the tour. We went out of the cove to the right. Turned around went to the left. And went back to the cove. Don't waste your money

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience didn't meet your expectations. After reviewing your reservation, it appears your booking through GetYourGuide was for our shared nature tour rather than a private charter. Because of that, your tour was operated as a shared excursion with other guests. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry we didn't deliver the experience you were expecting. We hope you'll consider joining us again in the future.

Highly Recommended Stingray Tour

This stingray tour was really amazing. The tour guides Maurice, Sugar Bear, Jonathan and the captain were really good resources. They made everyone on the tour feel special. This is one of the best tours I’ve had in Grand Cayman. Please take this tour and make memories.

Great!!

It was a great time! Our guide, Hunter, was informative and was careful with us on the choppy water this morning. 10 out of 10 would recommend for others.
