What To Expect
Stingray City
Choose from a morning or afternoon departure, and make sure to be ready for George Town hotel or port pickup before your 9:30 a.m. or 12 p.m. departure. After transport in an air-conditioned bus, enjoy this wet and wild adventure at Stingray City and Coral Gardens, where you can enjoy roughly 30-40 minutes at each stop. Stingray City consists of several shallow sandbars where southern stingrays reside in large numbers. Here, you can learn about the biology and behavior of these graceful animals while seeing them in their natural habitat. Then, head off to the famous Coral Gardens for a nice snorkel, with equipment included. See a diverse array of tropical fish while you swim through the water. As part of the transportation to the destinations, come onboard our vessels with the captain, mate, and photographer, and get a hold of some memorable photos. The tour ends with bus transport back to your hotel or port.

5.00I must say, this was amazing!!!!! The tour operators husband was sick so she filled in and got us to the boat. We had to wait for another bus to show but when they did, we were on our way. We had a blast snorkeling. We got to see coral, fish, stingrays, and a nurse shark. Then we went to stingrays area. Got to take pictures and kiss Lily the stingray. A ton of them were around. Next stop was the starfish beach. This was great, minus a few pesky jellyfish, but there was a small boat there selling the best wings, fries (can’t figure out the seasoning), coconut shrimp, and mudslides. It was SPECTACULAR!!! Would highly recommend and do again!
Book it, don’t think twice

4.00Stingray City may be a must-see if you're on grand cayman, but the multitude of tourists who are carted off on all sorts of boats and pounce on the existing stingrays is truly frightening! Sure, we were there, too, but certainly won't make the trip a 2. Do it and advise everyone against it. Coral Gardens and starfish point were ok, but not anymore, as was the organizer's boat. The team was great!

5.00Guys were very helpful and courteous. We are not strong swimmers and they stayed close to us while snorkeling trying to make our trip complete. Rum punch at the end was good too. We will use them again in our next trip
