Family excursion with infant from cruise port

4.00One of the ports on our cruise stopped in Grand Cayman. Most excursions through the ship were sold out that I wanted to do that allowed my baby. I searched high and low for an excursion with reviews with families, specifically infants. I came across this one and nervously purchased. This was a highlight from our trip and I would say rank the most favorable stop. Captain Joel and his crew took very good care of us! The ride was smooth and they were very accommodating to all guests including my 8month old. My son and husband did the snorkeling part while we stayed on the boat as the baby decided to take a nap on the ride out to the first stop. When he got up we got to enjoy the view and breeze until every one loaded back up to our next stop. Sting Ray City was one of my favorites! We caught perfect weather. Water was super clear and the rays were huge and beautiful. They do offer professional photos for an additional fee that you get airdropped instantly. I really wished starfish point was a little more clear. I was most excited for this part but it didn’t go as planned. There were some jellyfish out that day which caused most people to hop back on the boat sooner rather than later. (Nothing the crew could control). They offer pick up at the cruise terminal and get you back to the port in a timely manner. Transportation to the boat was via an air conditioner bus. Our boat hosted 40-45ish passengers which did not make the boat feel over crowded.
Excellent crew! Amazing trip!

5.00First and foremost I have to say that Tessa was our transportation to and from this excursion and she deserves all her flowers!!!! Safe EFFICIENT calm, funny and knowledgeable. I’ve never been on an excursion where we all started cheering our shuttle drivers name when we returned to land. If you get the luck to ride with her you are in the BEST hands! Regarding the trip, the weather our whole cruise was hit or miss, but Joel and his crew worked hard to make the trip so enjoyable! Full of information great spirits and vibes, safety, warmth, knowledge, etc. I felt safe and learned so much! Would book again!

5.00The captain and crew was awesome. They took the time to explain what to expect and the safety of the excursion. We went snorkeling where lobster and stingrays were seen. Then we went to a sandbar and got to hold stingrays and feed them After that I relaxed at a nice beach. A great time was had.
Outstanding wildlife encounters!

5.00This was such a fun way to spend the day at the Cayman Islands Port. The team was great and personable. The drive from port to the excursion was not bad at all. You have time at each stop to take pictures and enjoy the experience. I had a great time with my family and would definitely recommend this.
Great tour company but too busy to really experience the different venues.

5.00It is good and everything it says it is. The Stingray portion is not great. Not the fault of the tour company but just so overwhelming busy you get very limited exposure to multiple Stingray’s. The starfish beach was a nice surprise and very cool.
