The ideal interaction for all ages. It is located in the beautiful North Sound, where you will have the opportunity of a lifetime to meet and greet our friendly stingrays in the wide-open natural SandBar, where the water is just about 3-4 feet. You can also touch and hold the stingray, get a massage on the back, or if you feeling lucky, get a ‘good luck kiss’!

45 min

Your stops will include to Starfish beach, a quiet and relaxing spot great for both kids and adults and is approx. 10 mins boat ride from Stingray City. This is one of the most requested tours offered. You’ll have the chance to walk on the shoreline and be captivated by the red and orange starfish which makes taking a photo extra special!

45 min

Snorkeling adjacent to Stringray City, Sandbar where you can explore the coral reefs and underwater world of fishes, stingrays etc.

Amazing Experience

Amazing experience. Must do activity while in Cayman. Boat and captain were top notch. Definitely worth it to do a private charter.

Would not recommend

Would not recommend. Our excursion was booked for 4 hrs and we returned 40 minutes early with no explanation. Kids loved the starfish beach but were asked to get back on to rush back to shore. They could have swam for another 30 minutes. Did not get our full time that we paid for. Captain was okay and got us where we needed to go, but not very warm nor friendly to be in a customer service business. Would not recommend.

Hi Good Day Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate you choosing our private charter. We would like to kindly clarify that, as stated in our booking confirmation and on our listing, the duration of our private charter is 3.5 hours which includes the duration to get you to and from the marina. We understand that you felt disappointed in not getting to spend more time at Starfish Beach, and we’re sorry if there was any confusion regarding the timing but will ensure that the Capt provides clarity on such point going forward. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will continue to ensure that all details are communicated as clearly as possible so our guests know exactly what to expect. We hope you had a memorable trip to Grand Cayman. Warm regards

Loved it!

Had a great experience! Our boat captain, Price, was friendly and knowledgeable. We have been to Cayman three times and taken tours on many other Caribbean islands as well, and Price shared info about the stingrays and starfish that we had never heard before. He was really patient and took the time to make sure every person in our party had a great time. Highly recommend!

Do NOT book this service provider!

DO NOT... and I mean, DO NOT book this boat service provider! They falsely advertise providing Snacks and Hotel Transfer and when I reached out to clarify pick up time and whatsnot, they tell me they don't offer these things. Why is it listed on Viator if you don't offer it? On top of that, they were soooo rude. Whomever Samantha is, needs to go back to school and get herself educated on customer service. She has none! Her initial response to my question about hotel transfer was unnecessarily rude and on top of that, she outright told me I could seek another service provider. Business must be good for them not to want my service. It gets better, the amount was already charged on my credit card for the booking..the next thing I see, they cancelled my booking without notice. I hope I get my money back. As I've said, DO NOT book this service provider! This type of rude and horrible customer service as well as false advertising, is not worth it. I will attach the screenshot I took from their listing to show they falsely advertised providing snacks and hotel transfer.

Thanks for taking the time to share your candid view which is unfortunate given that on all of the platforms we provide services we have received nothing short of an exceptional service to all of our guests. As previously advised via email we as a company were aware that were not happy with the services we provided even after we provided screenshots of what the booking entails on the Viator platform. However given you were already threatening to provide a bad review even after we provided substantial evidence to the contrary. We made the decision not to place our staff in an uncomfortable environment because you were not happy and our business does not meet your expectations and given your booking was 3 days away we thought it best to give you an opportunity to book with another service provider who would best suit your needs and requested for Viator to provide a FULL REFUND if they charged and collected; as we do not and have not received any funds for this booking as the service was not provided to date. We stand by our professionalism and do our utmost best to provide the best customer service along with best practices for safety. We will however not stand by threats or be bullied which seems to be your stance given that majority of the reviews you've given on Google are all negative. We do hope that you do enjoy the rest of the stay on island and its unfortunate you and your guests will not experience what many return to us time and time again which is our warm and Caymankind hospitality.

Stingray fun with friends !!

What an unforgettable boat tour experience! From the moment we stepped on board, the views, the breeze, and the peaceful water set the perfect vibe. The ride was smooth, the scenery was absolutely stunning, and every moment felt like a postcard coming to life., our guide price was very friendly & made our day out on the water fun.

This was a fantastic...

This was a fantastic experience! Pryce was a great guide, very entertaining and helpful! We took the boat to Stingray City and even though the waves were a little rough, he was super accommodating and helped us get some great family photos. He was also very patient with us since we had a 11-year old with us who was a little hesitant. Next, he took us snorkeling and our last stop was Starfish Point. It was a great way to spend part of our day here in the Caymans.

Don’t miss this!

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Pryce, was phenomenal! He was so fun and helpful. A couple people in our group were scared of the sting rays but he was so calm and patient that they agreed to hold one and were very thankful for it and his presence
