What To Expect
Stingray City
STINGRAY CITY - This is one of the top attractions within the Cayman Islands. With some of the largest southern stingrays in the Caribbean, Stingray City is a must when visiting the Cayman Islands. On this three stop tour, you will have the opportunity to swim among some of the largest stingrays and most colorful reefs surrounding the Cayman Islands. In Stingray City the crystal clear water does not exceed five feet; the highlight of the excursion is the picture taking moment. With the assistance of boat crew, visitors will have the chance to pose near stingrays for the perfect picture, a moment not to be missed.
Starfish Point
STARFISH POINT - During the final stop of Starfish Snorkel, guests can relax in shallow water and view various species of starfish with friends and family for a great photo opportunity. Starfish snorkeling is the highlight of the tour for many, especially for visitors with young kids.

4.00Fun time. Long boat ride to sandbar. Boat had a restroom but no light inside. Leaders were fun and made you feel comfortable with rays.
Stingrays, starfish, and snorkeling. With a boat ride thrown in for good fun.

5.00Our guide wasn’t the most charismatic, but the trip was really worth the money. It consisted of three stops, one for snorkeling, one for stingrays, and one for starfish. The snorkeling was just okay, not the most beautiful reef I’ve seen. However, the stingrays were nothing short of spectacular. I was hopeful that I would get to see one, but never dreamed that I would be standing in the middle of dozens of them. Be prepared to kiss one and get a goodbye hug! The starfish viewing was good too. I’m not one that likes to pick up an interfere with any type of wildlife. I like to leave them alone in their natural environment. But if you like to hold a starfish, this is your chance. They just asked that you don’t lift them up out of the water because that will drain them and possibly kill them.
Great experience

Must swim with the Stingrays

5.00It was incredible, the stingrays are very docile and fun to swim around with. It was a little scary at first when you get in the water and these huge creatures are swimming by you and touching you, but then you get used to it and it is mind blowing. The guides made it very comfortable for us to swim with them as they were lifting the stingrays up and showing you that it was safe. When the guy held one of the stingrays up, a lot of the people in the group kissed it for seven years of good luck!! I highly recommend to go with these guides. They were awesome and kept us safe during the boat ride the whole time & in the water.
Great value and wonderful experience

5.00Not a catamaran but the boat was comfortable and had a partial roof for most of the small group of 20. Got to hold a stingray! Coral reef snorkeling was good enough to see a multitude of tropical fish.
It was amazing you swam with stingrays

5.00We really had amazing experience swam with stingrays, watching coral reefs and star fishing during the organised tour session. The skip and his assistant were very friendly and skilled.
Wild Rays - awesome to experience!

2.00Just ok We’ve visited Stingray city 4 times now. This boat had a smaller crowd (good) but only had a small canopy to protect from the rain. It was cold and raining and the ocean was rough- nothing they could control. The tour operators were nice but we have experienced much better on previous tours. No video of guests interacting with rays. Last time it was awesome to have them offer to sell you videos and pictures of you with the rays. I value those pictures! Communication was a bit sketchy. Overall I was glad we could do it again!
Well worth it!

5.00Due to higher than normal winds the tenders from cruise ship could not operate. The ship continued and we were unable to do tour. I notified Viator and within 24 hours received notification refund was being processed. This is the 3rd Viator tour in the last year that was cancelled due to circumstances beyond my control. Refunds were received. This customer service is valued.
