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.

5.00We had a great time. The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable and the operation ran on schedule. The stingrays were amazing! The trip advisor app didn't correctly register my pickup hotel for some reason, but I was able to contact the company directly via whatsapp and they were very responsive.
Highly recommend!

5.00Highly recommend! We had a fantastic time. The weather made me nervous that it might be bad (and it is asn't great), but even with choppy waters everything was still awesome!! We took our 8&11 year year old with us and they were a little scared but tried everything once at least. When they didn't like it they were able to get back on the boat and wait for the rest of us. Our guides were great. They helped keep us together and on time and they brought us some of the marine life we paid to see.

4.00There were starfish, sting rays and snorkeling at a coral reef just as the description mentions. The staff was great. Even kept us out from under some ugly gray rain clouds. Other than I would have liked a little more time exploring the coral reef and maybe a little less time with the sting rays I would say that this experience was fantastic! I would definitely book again.
The excursions were fun very knowledgeable people who the area and of the animals that we saw it’s good for all ages.

4.00Had a fairlyvgood experience but this is weather dependent activity. Was a grey dull day with rain around. On checking in, operator was constantly checking weather map to see if tour could go ahead. Poured with rain on trip out to star point but stopped on arrival. Star point was excellent, got to see plenty and hold plenty of star fish. Then onto string ray city. All the briefing we received on what and what not to do, before leaning jetty and again by biat crew, was very hard to follow. This was due to the swell on the sand bank, making it hard to stand still and move about freely. Didnt help, so many boats there with lots of people in the water. The encounter was good and got to touch and feed them. Last stop snorkeling on a reef. Again quite a swell, made both my wife and I feel uncomfortable, so had to get back on the boat. So couldn't take the full benefit of seeing all the coral and fish. On a nice clear calm day, would be an excellent tour and encounter. But you can't predict the weather when booking,
Stingray city /starfish!

5.00Fee was fair. Length of sea time was perfect. Music was a little loud on board but good selection. Love Jimmy Buffet when on boats. Enough seats for guests and they could move or change seats. Great boat staff and friendly Che k in guy. Wish there more stingrays and there wasn’t such a crowd around one stingray.
Exactly as advertised....
