The snorkeling stop will either be at the Barrier Reef or the Coral Gardens.

We had an amazing time and highly recommend this company. Captain Michael and the rest of the crew put everyone at ease, were very knowledgeable about the stingrays, and had all of us laughing a lot. Looking forward to doing it again when we vacation here in the future.
Amazing Day with the Stingrays

We used other boat tours while in the Grand Cayman but found Cspt Martin’s tour to be better by far. Crew made sure we all had a great experience by taking plenty of time in having everyone hold the stingrays and snorkeling with us to point out types of fish.

This boat was very nice, clean and driven very well by the captain. The crew were amazing and great at taking photos and bringing the stingrays to us. We were there for a long time and it was an overall great experience. Loved these guys - would book with again.

The experience was so much fun, especially the stingray portion. The crew is very professional and knowledgeable. The staff did not rush our group, and the morning time slot was not crowded..
