A five-star experience from start to finish
Captain Jason and his crew (Jesse) are the best!! We had an amazing time with Cayman Snorkeling Co., and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences in Grand Cayman! From the moment we arrived, the crew made us feel like family. They were so friendly, patient and genuinely excited to share the beauty of the island with us. The snorkeling was absolutely incredible-crystal-clear water, vibrant coral, and so much marine life. The crew knew exactly where to take us and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe no matter their experience level. You could tell they truly care about both their guests and protecting the ocean. What made the trip so special wasn’t just the amazing snorkeling- It was Captain Jason and his crew. Their positive energy, local knowledge and attention to detail made the whole experience feel relaxed, fun and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Grand Cayman, do yourself a favor and book with Cayman Snorkeling Co. you won’t regret it. We’d recommend them to anyone and can’t wait to come back for another trip.
Operator response
Thank you, Danielle! It means a lot that your day with Jason and Jesse was a highlight of your Cayman trip. We're especially glad everyone felt comfortable in the water and at home on board. Thank you for choosing our little family business and for such a thoughtful recommendation. We'd love to welcome you back for another day on the water!

Awesome!
Our family of 12 had an amazing experience with Jason. This was probably our 12th time going to Stingray City and this was the best one we have gone on. Highly recommend!
Operator response
Thank you, Gail! After so many visits to Stingray City, hearing that this was your family's favourite means a great deal to us. We're so glad all 12 of you enjoyed your time with Jason. We appreciate the recommendation and would be delighted to have you aboard again!

Great time in Grand Cayman
Zack and Terrance were fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and professional. We’d highly recommend Island Snorkel Company (and these two specifically) for anyone looking to book a private charter
Operator response
We're grateful for your lovely recommendation! It's wonderful to hear that Zack and Terrance helped make your charter such a relaxed, enjoyable part of your Cayman visit. Thank you for spending the day with us. Whenever the island calls you back, we'd be happy to have you aboard again!

Jason was GREAT! Fantastic charter!
Jason was very nice - he was accommodating and so friendly. I love that we did not have to pack drinks or snorkeling gear.
We would definitely use his service again.
Don’t forget towels and sunscreen🏝️

Great 4 hour tour
Very accommodating and family oriented. Zach and Jesse were great in getting photos with stingray and rigging fishing poles with bait. Four hours was enough to get a good experience.
Operator response
Those stingray photos sound like lovely keepsakes from your day! Thank you for your kind words about Zach and Jesse, and for choosing us for your family's time on the water. We're glad you could fit in a little fishing too. We'd love another chance to take you all out when you're back in Cayman.

Perfect!
One of the best boat tours I’ve done. Jason and Mario are locals who know all the tricks and made sure we had a memorable trip. They were so prepared and organized. We really enjoyed Mario. He’s such a great young man who really made our experience unforgettable. Thank you so much!!
Operator response
Thank you, Lauren! Your kind words about Jason and Mario are such a pleasure to read, especially the lovely mention of Mario. Sharing our home with guests is a privilege, and we're happy your day felt so special. Come back and see us whenever you find yourself in Cayman again!

Wonderful experience
We absolutely loved our time with Jason and Mario. We were two families with kids from 2-15, and everyone had a blast. Jason and Mario are natives to the island and know all the secrets that made our trip wonderful. We swam with the stingrays, snorkeled, went to Starfish Point and did some trolling. They were completely prepared and went above and beyond. Mario would dive to the bottom of the ocean while snorkeling to show us conch and stingrays. He also got a turtle to swim near us and is a great photographer to help us capture the moments. Thank you, Jason and Mario!!
P.S. Mario, we hope you get to go to Miami soon!
Operator response
Lauren, thank you for bringing both families out with us! We're delighted that everyone, from the little ones to the teenagers, enjoyed the day with Jason and Mario. What a lovely mix of island memories to take home, with photos to look back on too. We'd be thrilled to see your whole crew again on your next Cayman visit!

One of the best experiences in Grand Cayman
We have used Cayman Snorkel Co. several times and this years experience once again was the best! Captain Jason and Mario made it a great boating trip by jumping in the water with us at Sting Ray City where we fed the sting rays, held them and gave one of their favorites kisses! Snorkeling with new turtles while Mario made sure everyone was feeling comfortable in the water was only exceeded by a Mudslide drink at Rum Point. And don’t miss Captain Jason’s stories about the Cayman Islands where he grew up and is now raising his family!
Operator response
Julia, having you choose us again is such a compliment—thank you! We're glad this visit brought more happy memories with Jason and Mario, from the turtles to a relaxed stop at Rum Point. It's lovely to be part of your Cayman tradition. We'll look forward to the chance to share another boat day and a few more island stories with you.

A great experience snorkeling in Grand Cayman!
We love Cayman Snorkel Company! Booking our trip was easy with online booking. Captain Jason and his team are always reliable and everyone in our family from kids to grandparents had a blast! We went to Stingray City, snorkeled near Rum Point and stopped for drinks before heading home. It is our favorite 4 hours of any trip to Cayman. Mario took a lot of time with us during our snorkel to show us around the reef. He made sure the kids were safe and having fun. Thanks Mario and Jason for an awesome time!
Operator response
Stephanie, hearing that our boat day is a favourite for the kids and grandparents alike makes us smile! Thank you for continuing to include Jason and the team in your Cayman holidays. We're especially happy Mario's time on the reef meant so much to you. Your family is always welcome back for more of those moments together.

Snorkeling
This review is written my 8 year old:
We visited Grand Cayman to go snorkeling. The boat ride was smooth, and we got to see a lot of fish. Captain Jason and Mario tossed fish food from the boat to attract fish. We went to two snorkel places and saw sea turtles in both places too. We also went to Stingray Island. I had a great time there.
Operator response
Please give your young reviewer a big thank-you from all of us! Seeing turtles at both snorkeling stops sounds like a wonderful day to remember. We're so happy you enjoyed exploring with Captain Jason and Mario. We'd love to have your family back aboard to see what you can spot on your next adventure!
