Stingrays' city is a sandbar located 4-5 miles off the shore. Often done as part of the stingray city trips, the barrier reef is a lengthy wall of bright coral sweeping across the north sound entrance.

Cayman Stingray City Safari review

5.00This was the first time we have ever booked our own excursion. That morning, we were concerned to discover we had not pulled into Georgetown because of water conditions. We called—and discovered that the company already knew we had been moved and were waiting for us in the new port. What great service! The entire trip was wonderful! From Starfish Point, to Stingray city, to snorkeling in the Coral gardens. The trip was great, and everyone on staff was so wonderful. I can’t recommend them enough!!
Stingrays on vacation?

5.00Everything went well from start to finish. The Captains and drivers were friendly and entertaining, even though the weather wasn’t sunny and I personally didn’t get in the water, there were a lot of stingrays and things to explore if you’re snorkeling.
Creating memories

5.00We did not actually go on this trip as our cruise ship was forced to bypass Grand Cayman due to bad weather. I am rating this group a five star because, without hesitation, they refunded the fee that had already been paid.
Beautiful water and sea life!

5.00Even though the water was not cooperative, the captain and his crew were very accommodating and tried their best to give us the greatest experience. We enjoyed the starfish and would’ve loved to be able to come back and snorkel more calm water as well as enjoy the Stingrays. Definitely recommend!
Great Time & Value!

5.00This was a blast for our family and much cheaper than booked through the cruise. They pick up at a white tent right near where the cruise ships dock, with transport to/from the cruise dock. Plenty of time before and after.
