Sting Ray City with Rowan water sports.

5.00This was by far the best excursion my wife and I have ever been on. Angel and his boat hand were awesome and made sure we saw all the best places for snorkeling and interacting with the stingrays. I would definitely visit and recommend this business to anyone visiting. They are an A+++ company.

5.00Jake and Jordan were spectacular during the entire excursion. Jake was very informative, gave important instruction and has a sharp sense of humor. Jordan was great as our Stingray guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would recommend to everyone who comes to Grand Cayman Island to book them for these fun activities. You’ll be glad you did.
Great Experience!

Good But Not Great

3.00This was a fun excursion but not the best experience we’ve ever had. Dolan and Kaneesha (I believe) were very friendly. I thought the captain (Bob, I think?) was a bit short with people and seemed irritated that I was afraid of the sting ray. They ran out of squid for the sting rays so my husband was not able to feed one. Also, we had one sting ray to view for the whole group. A few others swam over, but I don’t believe they attracted them enough with food or maybe it was the wrong time of year. Other boats nearby seemed to have a lot of sting rays. I also wasn’t aware we would have to remove our shoes on board the whole time. The starfish were neat to see but we only stayed there about 15 minutes. Overall, the snorkeling was the highlight of the excursion and I’d recommend checking out other companies. We still had a nice time.

5.00Captain Jake and assist Alex did a great job. We were picked up at the Regal Beach club. When we got on the boat, everything was explained . Excellent instruction bout safety, snorkeling, sting ray city, and starfish point. The snorkeling was excellent. Lots of fish to see. Very good instructions on how to use mask, fins and snorkel. When we got to sting ray city; they both held sting rays and helped very anxious guests. We all enjoyed tremendously.

Jay and Daniel were great...

5.00Jay and Daniel were great hosts that kept this excursion operating smoothly so everyone had a good time. There were 3 ships in port arriving and departing at the same time so the port was crazy, but it was easy to find the check-in booth and it moved promptly at the start time to the buses. The bus was only a short 10 minute drive to the marina. Boarding took a couple of minutes and we we took off with about 60 people. The snorkeling equipment was handed out during the 25 minute drive out to the reef, so we were able to jump right in. The water was really calm so they did not hand out fins, which is understandable with how many people there were. The snorkeling was fine, saw plenty of small schools of fish, nothing too exotic but still fun to look at. The water was pretty clear so visibility was good. After about 30 minutes in the water we boarded and started to head to stingray city which was maybe 5 minutes away. We probably spent the most time at this stop. We jumped right in and formed a circle, and Jay and Daniel wrestled up some stingrays that they held for everyone to pet and kiss. They gave everyone plenty of time to take their own photos but also gave everyone opportunity to get their photos taken by the professional photographer, Keylin. Next we went to Starfish beach which was another 10 minutes or so across the bay. There were plenty of starfish to look at and touch. There was also a vendor selling food and drink on the beach. We maybe spent 15-20 minutes before getting back on the boat and heading in. The boat ride back was about 30-40 minutes. Overall the excursion was great. My kids really enjoyed all the activities and never got bored. If you are looking for a pure snorkeling excursion, this will likely be disappointing, but if you are looking to get a taste of many things the island has to offer this excursion is a great way to do it.
Amazing Experience

5.00I would choose it again. It was the perfect day. The tour is planned and timed perfectly. All the professionals involved are friendly and courteous. No one feels left out. Great for anyone. The stingray area is crowded but you are able to stay with your group and all get a turn with pictures and feeding.
