Stingray City Experience Plus Two Snorkeling Stops on Grand Cayman

We did this on off peak at end of september, no crowds at all at sting ray city. Had a great time, great, safe equipment, great staff, great experience. Would and will book with again.

This was the highlight of our trip. It was a perfect afternoon with a small group. I’ve never snorkelled before and this was the perfect first experience. The crew were knowledgeable, friendly and quite funny. They made sure to tell us where the best spots were to see the fish among the coral at both of our stops. Stopping at Stingray City, they were intent on us all getting to experience everything we could with the rays. Rauol took our photos which we were able to purchase ($60 which was expensive in my opinion as we had paid for the trip in the first place) at the end of the trip. Definitely an adventure we’d go on again if we ever make it back to Grand Cayman.

This trip was a blast. Sugar Bear was very personable and was funny. The stingray experience was truly a one of a kind experience. Snorkeled with them for my first snorkeling experience ever and I did great! Was worried about climbing back in the boat, but the ladder extends well into the water. It was totally manageable. I will book with them again!

I recently went on this excursion led by Mitchell, Barry, and Victoria and had a great time! They were the perfect team, especially since I was a little apprehensive about swimming with the stingrays at first. They made me feel comfortable and at ease, and before long, I was able to touch, kiss, and even feed the stingrays. It was an awesome and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

The crew was amazing! They were very knowledgeable and kept a careful watch on everyone. It was so much fun!!!!

We booked two tours with Captain Marvin. First was the bioluminescence tour. As we were staying on the East End, it was more convenient to get picked up a Kaibo dock instead of 7-mile beach area. They first took us to starfish point just before dusk and we learned about starfish and jelly fish. Next, we went into bio bay. They provided protective suits as well as masks, fins and snorkels. Once it got completely dark, we went into the water. It was an amazing experience. In spite of the moon being almost half, it was dark enough to see incredible luminescence, especially under or next to the boat. The staff were great and I highly recommend the experience. We were back at Kaibo around 9PM. The second tour was the Stingray City and two snorkel stops. This one left from the west side office in the 7-mile beach area. We booked the 10AM tour instead of the early morning due to the long drive in from the East End. They took us in a bus to the dock where we boarded the boat and received instructions from the staff. Snorkel gear, water and fruit juice were provided. It took about 30 minutes to reach the first snorkel spot which was very good. Clear water and lots of coral and fish. We saw a few stingrays and some barracudas, too. Next stop was Stingray City, a sandbar in the middle of the bay. The water was crystal blue and the stingrays were everywhere, swimming around your legs or rubbing against you. The staff held some rays for people to touch and even kiss (7 years good luck). We fed the rays squid and they were aggressively friendly. There was a photographer taking shots that you could buy. It was $60US for 20 pictures, but we got all 47 for that price. Next stop was a snorkel stop at the reef. Different kinds of fish and coral and also very nice. We arrived back at the dock around 1PM. Price for the stingray city plus 2 snorkel stops was only about $10 more than just the stingray city tour, so definitely worth the extra. The office is co-located in a convenience store. Good idea to get some snacks and drinks before the tour as we were pretty hungry on the way back. Some guests packed lunches. We opted to hit the little cafe in the same center for a nice lunch. The staff were great - friendly, helpful and informative. The boat was good with a nice upper deck and sunbathing area on the bow. There is a marine toilet in the lower cabin. Life vests were available to snorkelers who wished them.

Amazing crew! The stops to snorkel were phenomenal and stingray city was very fun. We would book this excursion again.

Our guides were great, very knowledgeable about the sting rays, very willing to answer questions and talk to you. Felt very safe the entire trip.

We really enjoyed the Stingray City + barrier reef & coral gardens snorkel trip with Captain Marvin’s aboard the High Rider. Capt. Richard, Barry & Romel were all very courteous & professional. Would book again. 5⭐️

Awesome experience! Plenty of time at each stop. Crew very interactive with guests. I would highly recommend this tour.
