From booking to the Adventure everything was great. The check in, small bus to the boat and the guides were all great. It was a smooth boat ride out to the sandbar, reef snorkeling and starfish point.

My family really enjoyed this excursion. The water was quite choppy for the coral snorkeling and Starfish beach was nice. But just really chill. Seeing, holding and even kissing stingrays was the real star of the event, and well worth it. One note is to allow extra time if you are on a cruise ship. Booking stated 3.5 hours, but was closer to 4.5 including shuttle to and from the ship's pier. We made the last tender to the ship by like 3 minutes. It was really stressful. Cruise info shows when ship leaves port, but the last tender to the ship is an hour earlier, which is not made clear until that shore day. I would allow at least 2 hours of buffer to get back to ship or risk stress ruining your fun.

Overall this was a great experience! We had good communication with the tour operators and were picked up from the Westin with no issues. Captain Joel and Jr made the trip fun and navigated the choppy waters with ease. We are a family of 4, with 2 kids ages 4 & 6. We brought our own floaters (puddle jumpers) and full face snorkels. I would recommend this if you have young kids. The water can be rough and it was difficult to navigate for them but they still enjoyed it. The stingrays are incredible!! They do swim right up to you and all around. Starfish point was my daughter’s favorite (she’s only 4). It is much calmer waters and really incredible to see these creatures in their natural habitat.
Great experience

We enjoyed this experience. Our guides were great and when they saw that stingray city was really busy, they took us to another place first. We got to see everything and experience everything.

The crew was great. There was not as much marine life or coral as there was 25 years ago when we were last here, we enjoyed it. The starfish and stingray stops were very cool. Definitely recommend touring with these guys.
My new favorite place, Grand Cayman, Rum Point.

Great experience, giggled like little kids. Our guide Chris held a giant female on my back for a massage. Good snorkeling even though the sea was rough.
