Stingrays and the staff

What a nice time! The stingrays are as fun to be around as are the captains and the tour guide. If they ever do a trip with stingray city and the caves that would be ideal. Starfish point was “ehh”. Wish they picked up at all hotels though.

Nicest people you’ll meet.

This crew is like no other. My friend got sea sick and the captain stayed by her side to walk her through it. Another passenger lost his wedding band while snorkeling and the entire crew looked for it and found it! They are truly the kindest people. Will always recommend Captain Marvin’s.

Highlight of the trip!

Getting hugged by a Stingray and kissing and hand feeding them was an incredible once in a lifetime experience. We also loved finding so many Starfish in one area that we could pick up and hold. Crystal Caves was incredible, especially the gorgeous underground lake. You won’t want to miss this tour!

Loved it!

Book this in advance! We received door to door service. Stingray city was out in the middle of the bay and only waist deep. We were the first boat to arrive. The sand was soft. The stingrays surrounded us in crystal clear water. Stingrays are so cool and gentile! The cave was a real treat! Everything was beautiful.

Great tour guides and...

Great tour guides and staff. George and Syd were awesome!! The stingray part of the tour was a dream, you could touch the rays, take pics with them, and feed them. But there is no snorkeling allowed. I felt rushed when we got to starfish point, there should have been a bit more time here, we only had like 5-10 minutes. Make sure you bring a change of clothes, snacks, some bug spray and sunscreen! The caves were very beautiful, everything was great and informational BUT I think $62 for some photos and $34 for 2 drinks is a bit outrageous.
