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.

5.00This is a great experience, the staff were very informative and helpful. We were picked up via minibus from the port and taken to a marina where we boarded a boat. We were sailing for 30 minutes until we reached the snorkelling area and had 30min snorkelling (snorkelling equip & lifevest supplied). We then had a further 10mins sailing to the sandbank to see the stingrays (it was very busy) this was a great experience to see them swimming next to you and to touch them, we had 20-25 mins here. We then had another 10 mins sailing to starfish bay were there was lots of starfish big and small and some jellyfish which you could hold and a fab chicken hut serving great food. Good value for money and cold drinks were included.

5.00The boat trip includes 25 min of snorkeling, stop at sting ray city with pictures for each group, and then a stop at star fish point. I liked seeing all of the star fish. My son enjoyed the sting rays at the sand bar. For the price the trip was what we were expecting, it included pickup and drop off at our hotel. We were there during the holidays so it was very crowded at the sand bar with sting rays.

Disappointed

3.00A bit of disappointment. Short time snorkeling, no flippers, no snacks, not as many stingrays as expected and starfish was in murky water. Too many tourists and wildlife seamed violated.
Fun day on and in the ocean

5.00I will give it 5 stars for the under water experiences although the overall tour is quite bare bones. The snorkeling is great, the stingray experience is exciting despite the somewhat hectic crowds, and the starfish are okay. It’s great that they provide transport from and to your hotels.
