We booked a private half-day tour with Captain Alex to explore Stingray City, do some snorkeling, and visit Starfish Beach, and it was nothing short of perfect! From the get-go, Captain Alex was friendly, funny, and really knew his way around. He was full of great stories, including his past as a professional basketball player in Romania!
The five of us, my wife, her parents in their 70s, our 16-year-old daughter, and I, had an incredible morning. Despite the mixed age group, Captain Alex made sure everyone had a great experience.
Visiting Stingray City was surreal - we especially loved the bonding time with a charming 44-year-old stingray where we shared kisses, some squid, and lots of handling. With just three boats at the site, it felt very private and special, which made us glad we opted for the early 8:30 AM tour.
Snorkeling after that was spectacular. We saw an abundance of sea life, from more stingrays to graceful turtles, vibrant reef fish, and beautiful corals. It was out of this world!
Our next stop, Starfish Point, with shallow water perfect for wading and spotting lots of starfish and the occasional conch, was absolutely special.
Throughout the trip, Captain Alex was such a joy. Funny, informative, and hospitable, he really went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable day.. Plus, his own life stories were a cool touch to the day’s vibe!
I can’t recommend this experience highly enough for families or anyone eager to get an intimate, unforgettable look at the beauty of Grand Cayman. Book an early trip if you can - it was such a great choice to enjoy a quiet, pleasant outing. 5 stars all the way for Captain Alex and this fabulous sea quest!
Trust me, an outing with Captain Alex is one for the books!. Don’t miss out on this gem
