Good experience

Michael_N, Apr 2024

Our grand daughter loved holding and kissing ray. Snorkeling was good. A little hard getting in and out of boat.

Best day of our vacation!

Erica_H, Mar 2024

This was the absolute best day of our vacation! Stingray city was magical and our guide, Pryce, made sure we had a great experience and took great pics for us. The snorkel spot was amazing also! We also went to Rum Point which was so fun, the place where the mud slide was invented.

Just Book It!

Callie_M, Nov 2023

10 STARS !!! This was the best decision for our cruise stop in Grand Cayman! Price (our captain) was an AMAZING host- he picked up us close to the ship, and drove us directly to the boat! We went to stingray city, starfish beach, and snorkeled around the reefs. He was knowledgeable, patient, and so fun to share the experiences with. He had everything we needed on board, and the ship was comfortable for our family of all ages! Would hands down book again- we LOVED it! Thank you!!

An incredible experience in a laid back setting

Jason_S, Oct 2023

Everything was fantastic. We arrived at the dock right as our guide was pulling up. We had Pryce as our guide, who was really great. Very experienced and thorough but the right kind of laid back and wanted to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. He hopped in the water at the first stop at Stingray City and grabbed a stingray so we could all get an experience holding it and taking pictures. At the other two stops, he let us explore on our own to enjoy everything there. He had clearly been doing this a long time, as he knew the other guides out there and was clearly well respected by the group. He even took a little detour to help spot a couple of sea turtles swimming about. There are tons of group tours that go to these same places for less money. If you have the means, I highly recommend a private tour. It's less hectic and you get the personal experience you wouldn't have had in a group setting. For the four in our family, it's not that much more for the private tour vs. the group option.

An absolutely wonderful day and experience with Andrew. His love of his home island and joy in sharing it with us was amazing. We would do this again!

Great experience!

Michael_V, Aug 2023

We had a wonderful time and experience visiting Stingray City, snorkeling and Starfish point with Pryce. These stingrays are amazing creatures. The boat was very clean and our guide, Pryce, was so nice, friendly, funny, and an experienced boat driver. Would recommend spending time on the water while in Grand Cayman with this company for sure.

They where very nice at...

Jocelyn_G, Aug 2023

They where very nice at the end of our trip we did feel rushed I understand they had another group but we wanted to take pictures on the boat and where rushed out

Must do!

Christian_H, Aug 2023

Great experience. Our driver was very quiet which could be a good thing or not depending on what you are looking for. He was knowledgeable and had a clear love for the water and its habitat. He was from Jamaica- not a native, which again didn’t bother us at all- he knew alot. No sodas as advertised. Only one bottle of water per person was on board- so bring your own. Boat was super clean! He let us listen to our own music which I loved! Stingrays never disappoint! Snorkeling was fun and we saw a ton of stuff. Starfish beach is underwhelming- but we had already seen it.

Absolutely Must Book!

Shruti_A, Aug 2023

Pryce was a wonderful captain - he was punctual, knowledgable and a great photographer! He made each stop memorable and special, we had the best time!

So much fun!!

Megan_D, Jul 2023

So much fun!!! We did a a half day private tour with our 2 kids. Our guide Pryce was awesome and great with the kids! HIGHLY recommend doing a private tour for the stingrays/reef/starfish! If you can request guides, I would request Pryce! We would absolutely use this company again, their transportation was right on time and super easy.

Recommend!

Kate_A, Jul 2023

If you are debating between a group tour and a private tour, the private tour is worth every penny! Price was our guide and boat driver. He was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. We had a great time on the excursion! Visiting stingray city, “the aquarium” for snorkeling, and starfish beach. For reference, our group was a 30-somethings girls trip and everyone enjoyed. Would be good for families, too!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Stephanie_H, Jul 2023

We were a family group of 9 adults. We had Pryce as our captain and guide… He was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. This, (by far) was our favorite excursion. The boat was clean, had plenty of safety equipment and life-vests. Snorkeling masks and fins were provided as well as ice cold water. The transportation we were picked up in was air-conditioned and in excellent shape. I was very hesitant to book this excursion because I did not know anything about this company or the Cayman Islands… But please lay every worry you have to rest. This is a reputable company that took us to stingray bay, starfish point, and snorkeling on the reef. Do yourself a favor and ask for Pryce… he just adds fun and knowledge to the trip.

Ask for Captain Price!

Brandon_L, Jul 2023

Booked a private trip with just my family for a half day tour. Spent time with stingrays then about a half hour snorkeling then spent time with starfish and roaming tarpon. Great experience. Captain Price was great! He made the private experience very islandish!!

Loved every minute of it. Captain Pierce was great with the kids and attentive to making sure each one of us was able to participate. Appreciate his guidance and knowledge. Pickup and return was easy and on time. Stingrays, snorkeling and starfish—who could ask for more? Thank you for such a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Better then I could have ever expected!!! Transportation was prompt, friendly and helpful. The captain was fun, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time.
