Itinerary
Stingray City
Your adventure begins with convenient pickup from selected Seven Mile Beach hotels or check-in at Cayman Falls Plaza. From there, travel to the departure dock and cruise across Grand Cayman’s turquoise North Sound toward world-famous Stingray City. Arrive early, before the sandbar becomes busy, and step into warm, shallow water no deeper than approximately five feet. Observe graceful southern stingrays gliding through their natural environment as the experienced crew shares fascinating facts about these remarkable animals and helps you capture unforgettable photos.
Starfish Point
Continue with a scenic boat ride to peaceful Starfish Point, a postcard-perfect corner of Grand Cayman known for its clear, shallow water and colorful sea stars. Step into the warm Caribbean, enjoy the quiet coastline, and observe the sea stars beneath the surface in their natural habitat. Your guide will explain the delicate ecosystem and marine life that make this secluded location so special. Guests who select the Stingrays & Starfish option will return after this stop for transportation back to their original pickup or meeting point.
Cayman Crystal Caves
Guests who select the Stingrays, Starfish & Crystal Caves option will continue to the Crystal Caves after Starfish Point. This extended experience operates only on Fridays and Saturdays. After returning to shore, enjoy a scenic 15-minute drive to the Crystal Caves for a 90-minute guided exploration of an extraordinary underground world. Walk among beautiful stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-clear pools while discovering the caves’ geology, wildlife, and stories of the pirates who once used these hidden caverns as shelter. This unforgettable experience reveals one of Grand Cayman’s most unique natural attractions. Travel approximately 15 minutes back to the Caribbean beach club, where you can enjoy free time beside the sea, relax by the water, or have lunch and your favorite drink before boarding the boat for the return journey and transportation back to your original pickup or meeting point.
