Sting Ray City - Captain Marvin
Stingray City was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We were so impressed with the staff from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely comfortable being in the water with the stingrays. You could tell how much they knew about the animals and how much they genuinely cared about them.
I honestly don’t think I can put into words how amazing this experience was. Being able to get in the water, interact with the stingrays, and see them up close was something I will never forget. Out of all the trips we’ve taken and memories I’ve made, this one tops them all. It was truly one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
If you’re visiting Grand Cayman, Stingray City is an absolute MUST. I would do this again in a heartbeat! ❤️

Stingray and starfish experience.
It was a nice experience past the pick up and check in process. The driver was late and weather was storming initially, so wasn’t sure if activity was still on. Driver was a little rude to another couple that he had to go back and pick up. Checking in was a little confusing because lady was not clear on process so tbh that annoyed me a little at 7:45 in the am. Once we got to boat and crew that was taking us out, completely different experience and they saved the experience. Certainly friendly, knowledgeable, informative and interactive. They made the experience fun. The waters were a little choppy but nothing they could control. I’m a little uncomfortable in the water but wasn’t a bad experience at all. I found it amazing how interactive one could be with a stingray. Would recommend it.

Thumbs up for Stingrays and Starfish
We did the Stingray and Starfish tour. Captain Marvin's has a shop right across the street from The Westin, so we picked up the shuttle there. The guides were educational and made it a safe and fun for everyone. The early morning run to Stingray City was great because we got there before the other boats showed up.

Fun for family w kids
Fun experience. We did starfish point + stingray city. I was a bit nervous that our youngest (7) would be too short, but they provided pool noodles. Next time I would add snorkeling. Crew was friendly.

Great tour - Stingray City + Starfish Point
We are a family of 4 (2 adults, a teen and a pre-teen). We did the 2 hour stingray city + starfish point tour. We happened to go on a very windy day. The boat ride over was not choppy as I had expected. When we got to stingray city, the waves were quite high even though the water isn’t very deep. The crew told us that it is rarely like that and even some other passengers who had done the tour previously agreed that usually it is very calm water. It was quite a spectacular experience and we are very happy we did it. 2 in our group are not great swimmers and decided not to come in the water with the stingrays, so that is an option if you want to see but not necessarily want to go in the water.
The boat is a nice size and there were seats for everyone.
They offer a stingray photo package which you can purchase after viewing your photos before leaving the tour. If I am not mistaken it is $50 per person for the package.
Next stop was starfish point. Very shallow water and great to see, touch and learn about starfish from one of the crew members.
We had a great tour with Captain D (sorry don’t remember your exact name 🙈), Prince, Jonathan and Jayden.
I would recommend this tour.

Do not hesitate to book with Captain Marvin's!!!!!
This excursion was absolutely fantastic! Shoutout to the entire crew including drivers please tip everyone they go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable and capture your memories! We did the early am tour 730am pickup from our hotel on 7-mile beach they were right on time the whole experience was efficient and just relaxing all around. From the office after you check in the drive to their marina is 4 minutes the boats are super clean and large with 2 levels you can sit upstairs or downstairs so allows everyone to spread out comfortably. They do not over book the excursions I think there was 17 people total on our excursion with plenty of room still. We were literally the first boat at Stingray City which is a big deal because the stingrays just concentrated on our boat and weren't going back and forth between other excursion boats plus having multiple boats there with pictures a lot of other people end up in background of your photos. We had chosen a different company 2 days prior and went out in afternoon to Stingray City and so many people and boats it honestly took away from the experience, and we did not enjoy it as much. One great thing about this company is they take the time with each individual and families to take multiple pictures of you with the stingrays which is hard to do. I had my go pro and my phone with a water case and still did not get as good of pictures as the company did. So many great things, they provide history about the company and Captain Marvin, provide basic soft drinks water and such, talk about the stingrays and let you feed them they give you time at starfish point and have you back by 10am to enjoy the rest of your day on the beautiful island. Do not hesitate to book with this company!
