Begin your Grand Cayman adventure with an easy start. Cruise guests meet at Waterfront Centre, just a few blocks from the cruise terminal, while guests staying on the island can meet at Cayman Falls Shopping Plaza, across from The Westin. Complimentary pickup is also available from hotels along the Seven Mile Beach corridor. Cruise across the beautiful North Sound toward Stingray City Sandbar, where shallow, crystal-clear Caribbean waters set the scene for one of Grand Cayman’s most iconic experiences. Step into the water and come face-to-face with the famous southern stingrays as they glide freely around you. Enjoy this incredible encounter, interact with the stingrays, and capture some unforgettable photos before climbing back aboard to continue your three-stop Cayman adventure.
Continue by boat to beautiful Starfish Point, where calm, shallow Caribbean waters create the perfect setting to slow down and enjoy a more peaceful side of Grand Cayman. Step into the clear water and see the area’s famous starfish resting naturally along the sandy bottom. Spend approximately 40 minutes enjoying the warm water, getting an up-close look at the starfish, and capturing some incredible photos surrounded by Cayman’s tropical scenery. Then climb back aboard as your adventure continues toward the reef for snorkeling.
Dive into Grand Cayman’s crystal-clear Caribbean waters, where vibrant marine life, colorful tropical fish, and beautiful coral formations await. Depending on the day’s conditions, your captain will select Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef, choosing the best location available for your snorkeling adventure. Spend approximately 40 minutes exploring Cayman’s underwater world before climbing back aboard for a scenic boat ride to the dock. From there, return transportation is provided to your original meeting point or hotel pickup location.

The sites we visited had lots of wild life to view and snorkel with. The crew was helpful and engaging. The sites themselves were very busy with other boats and tourists and at times felt crowded. The best part was holding and feeding the rays
Very professional, friendly staff. They went out of their way, above and beyond, to make sure everyone had a good time and was safe. The water was choppy the day we went, and the staff were very attentive and made sure everyone was able to get in the water and enjoy. The boat was in excellent condition (unlike the other boats that we saw out on the water).
