5.00Highly recommend this trip! Family of four with teens booked based on reviews and it lived up to the strong positive feedback from customers. Our crew (Jayden, Captain Aster, Jimmy, and Fred) were incredible - they worked as a team, focused on safety, fun and making experiences. Each stop was unique and memorable.

5.00One of the best vacation excursions I've been on. Capt Mitch and the crew were amazing. Very friendly and fun. The group size was perfect and the boat was great. The two snorkeling experiences were phenomenal (sea turtles, fish and rays everywhere) and the stingray experience on the sandbar was awesome. If we come back to Cayman we will definitely be repeating this it was so fun.
Stingrays and snorkelling

4.00Potentially the excursion promised good snorkelling and swimming with stingrays. In reality,it was not the fault of Captain Marvin’s team,the sea was rough and the current very strong at the coral reefs. It made for difficult swimming. The fish were good but not the best except for the stingrays swimming with us. We did not like stingray city. There were too many boats and people. I know the stingrays choose to come to the site but being constantly held for photo opportunities for the boat companies to make money is a bit much. I would venture to say the trip was close to being cancelled. It was easy to find the pick-up point. All was very well organised and all the staff at Cap’n Marvin were very friendly.
Awesome Experience. Awesome Crew

5.00Run, don't walk to do this tour. Incredible experience thanks to an incredible crew. Captain Delroy - AWESOME. Crew member Jonathan doing an amazing job on photos and keeping people happy and safe. Crew member Jaden doing acrobatics on the boat keeping anchor lines safe, keeping people safe and happy, and the Dr. Doolittle of the boat who handled stingrays for people to see up close.
Great Experience

5.00We had a great time on this tour, the crew was entertaining, friendly, and helpful! We spent a lot of time with the stingrays, everyone could touch, kiss (seven years good luck!) and/or feed them if wanted. I haven't heard that much exuberant laughter in a very long time!!
Fun in the sun!

5.00Great tour guides, very funny yet helpful. We saw lots of stingrays but also sea turtles, barracudas, and tropical fish. Bonsai and his crew took care of us!
This is a MUST DO w This Crew!

5.00We had an amazing time! We were picked up at our hotel on time! Our first stop was to learn about Caymans Gentle & Polite StingRays! They did not disappoint! The water is clear and we were neck deep in the ocean. Our second & 3rd stops were amazing! We saw 2 sea turtles & numerous fish! No complaints from us! We feel safer on land & definitely fearful of sharks! However, Bunsons crew did a wonderful job prepping everyone and we had a ton of laughs with them! Wear the life jacket around your waist-it makes it so much easier to enjoy exploring! Things I would suggest: 2 towels and warm clothes for the wet ride back to the dock. A waterproof camera pouch or Go Pro! You may or may not need a little snack depending on what time your tour is. This is a must do with this crew! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
