What To Expect
Stingray City
Get ready for an exciting, unique adventure as you swim among the stingrays -- some of the most docile sea creatures in the world! Featured in National Geographic Magazine, Stingray City is the Cayman Islands’ most popular site. Here, 30 to 40 gentle Southern Atlantic stingrays swim freely in 3 to 5 feet of crystal-clear, current-free waters, waiting to see what you've brought them for lunch. It was created by accident in the mid-80s when fishermen returning to port anchored in the calm waters of the Sound to clean their catch and discard bait overboard. The stingrays, drawn by the smell of the fish, quickly became accustomed to the “free meal” and stayed. Today, the rays regularly dine on squid provided by divers and snorkelers. Native Way instructors will show you how to interact with these incredible animals in the only place in the world where you can do so in the wild.
Starfish Point
Star Fish Point At this location, you will delight in the hunt to seek out beautiful Caribbean starfish. Easily located at this site, the magic begins once the guest finds a starfish. The beauty and color of these incredible creatures give you a vibe mixed with awe, peacefulness, and happiness. This location is approximately 3 feet deep and suitable for individuals of all ages.

Excellent Excursion

5.00Captain Charlie and Captain Brent on the boat “Tripin’ Out” were great! They were informative and fun! Brent even caught conch and Charlie made us a fresh marinated snack for the ride back! What a great experience! The three stops were beautiful! Interacting with the Sting Ray, fish and starfish was magical.
Fantastic Day on the Water

5.00We had an amazing day on the water with this fantastic crew! The snorkeling stop was a highlight, where we spotted vibrant, colorful fish darting through the clear turquoise waters. Next, at Stingray City, we interacted with calm, friendly stingrays that glided right up to us. The adventure wrapped up with discovering starfish and snapping tons of incredible photos. We loved every moment—from the punctual pickup, the crew's endless patience (shoutout to Brent for coaxing nervous swimmers into the water), to the smooth drop-off back at our hotel. I highly recommend this company!

5.00My wife and I enjoyed this experience! Captain Charles and Brent were great hosts. Definitely worth doing when visiting the island! Also, since it seems a lot of folks visit for their baby moon (including me and my wife), my wife was 6 months pregnant and was able to participate in all of the activities.
Lovely day

5.00We had a great time. Our Captain Charlie and the other one were both great! They took us to the right spots to show us around and at the end even prepare a small snack for us.
Rough seas, good times and an awesome captain

4.00Trying to find the meeting point for transport is difficult. I ended up using public transportation which is a great idea in general to get anywhere in grand cayman. $2.50 per person anywhere on the island. The boat crew and captain were great. The water was very rough on our excursion but he captain gave it his all to make it happen. Was able to pet a stingray but required some awareness since waves were around 3 feet. Seen a mom and baby turtle and tried to snorkle but again rough water. Stopped at starfish point which was a nice break and was able to hold and take pictures holding them in the water. The ride home was as smooth as the captain could make it. Working with the conditions the captain and crew had i commend them for their efforts and skill. I can imagine in calm water it is extremely pleasent. I would recommend but plan to find your own transport to the yacht club.
Disappointed

1.00Was very excited and they cancelled my excursion the night before. We had to repurchase the SAME excursion on the island when we got there and probably won’t receive my refund until I get back home off of my cruise. A complete waste of money, just book when you get to the island!!
