    From the timely and friendly pickup to the amazing boat captained by Omar, we couldn’t be happier! We have used Blue Ocean Tours both times in the Cayman Islands and will continue to do so. Omar is fun and very professional, you will be comfortable and have a blast. Each stop is beautiful and unlike any water we’ve ever seen. Best part is that this is a PRIVATE charter so it is much easier to escape the crowds. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting and looking for a private way to enjoy the beauty in Grand Cayman.

    Boat day!
    Scheri_S, Apr 2024
    We had the best trip with Omar! He is super fun and he helped ease my fears of the stingrays. He had snacks and drinks for us, too! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat! Best day of our trip the island.
    Good times

    Great tour, Bad boat
    Gina_B, Mar 2024
    We really liked most of our experience. However the boat was equipped with a propeller that only allowed us to go 9 miles an hour and we were completely soaked with water as soon as we got on the boat. I am not sure why that was. Chris was great and professional but the boat ride was something else. The stress about not making it back to our ship in time because of the boat really put a damper on the great time we had.

    Thank you for your review, please note, our clients safety is our priority, and if it’s a bit choppy, the captain will implement a slower speed to ensure a safe trip.
    Highly Recommend - Highlight of Our Whole Vacation
    Aimee_O, Mar 2024
    This was hands down the best part of my whole vacation in the Cayman Islands!!! Omar and his assistant were very personable and the trip was so relaxing and fun. We went at our own pace and enjoyed each stop, especially Stingray City. And they took a bunch of pics (extra $) which was an added bonus!

    Private boat stingray, starfish, snorkeling
    Dana_M, Mar 2024
    We had a good time seeing the rays, starfish, and snorkeling. Guides were knowledgeable and helpful. We had chips for a snack and only goggles and snorkels when we went snorkeling, no flippers, and for the price of the tour I would include flippers and better snacks. Otherwise, we had a great time.

    Great company, Omar is the best!
    Nichole_R, Mar 2024
    Omar was great! He was able to grab us a stingray to pet even though it was a little crowded with the cruise lines coming in. So we felt very taken care of! I would use them again and again. 10/10 recommend!

    Beautiful Cayman
    Lanette_H, Mar 2024
    Enjoyed our trip out to Stingray City and Starfish Point. Omar and Amoy were a great team. Boat was dated, but okay for our group. Omar picked out a great spot for lunch at Kaibo. Food was wonderful.

    Good morning private tour
    Stefan_H, Mar 2024
    Great private boat trip to stingray city, coral reef and starfish point but was shorter than expected at around 2.5 hours. The guides for the day weren't particularly engaging during the trip other than when showing the stingrays

    Worth it

    Amazing Time
    Brenda_Y, Mar 2024
    The trip was a fabulous time. Got to swim and interact with stingrays, snorkeled even though some of us didn’t know how to swim. Dean was a great lifesaver and very patient and attentive. Omar made sure he went out of his way to make sure we got to see many starfish! I would highly recommend this excursion.

    Perfect combo of Cayman highlights

    Great day with a great crew. Omar was wonderful and customized the excursion to our preference. We had a great time at all the stops! Views were beautiful and being able to purchase photos at the end was a plus.

    Amazing!
    Denise_M, Feb 2024
    The personal treatment, care for passengers, the drinks and snacks, and of course the amazing snorkeling and stingrays, made the trip amazing. Can’t wait to view the pictures taken by the assistant when we get home.

    Much more fun with a small group
    joannekjolsen, Feb 2024
    Had a lot of fun on the boat with just our group of 6. It didnt work out to much more per person than if you went on a boat that had 20-30 people. They were on time meeting us at the arranged spot and drove us to the marina where we met our captain & guide, Omar and boarded the boat. He did have a young girl on board who was taking pics of us while in the water and it was optional whether you wanted to buy them or not. They weren't cheap, but we're glad we got them, for a slightly reduced price I may add, as the pics came out great. Omar spent a lot of time with us individually with the lovely stingray and allowing us to kiss, pet, hold them during our time there. I passed on feeding them as I didnt think that would be an experience I'd like but the others did and enjoyed doing so. We've been to Stingray City twice before on the main tourist boats and then you go to a snorkel spot, which we did too, but we went to a new place, Rum point and saw starfish and enjoyed the peace & tranquility of the spot. Really glad we went and would definitely recommend. Got us back to the marina and our ride was waiting for us and took us back into town, either at the same spot as pick up or at the terminal.

    RyanKerrigan, Feb 2024
    Omar was fantastic! Boat had snacks and drinks. Omar went out and found stingrays amongst the crowds on the boat so we had our own personalized experience. Kids had a blast

    Great trip with Captain Omar and firstmate, Dean. We had a great day on the water. They helped us get to know the stingrays, played great music, take great pictures and make great memories. We recommend!

    A definite must do!!
    Laura_P, Feb 2024
    I have to give it 4 stars because the weather was windy and rainy and not rescheduled. But the 7 of us laughed through it. The string rays were so sweet and definitely had to give a kiss for luck. Bring an underwater case for phone. Pictures were amazing!!! Starfish point was good, got to hold them. Food at Kaibo was so tasty. We would definitely consider it a must do!!

    NOPE
    Deborah_R, Jan 2024
    Our guide did the best he could with the circumstance… all the other cruise and tour operators cancelled the day based on the weather. We were not given a choice and we got beat up by the water and waves to get to the starfish point.. saw only 3 starfish as I guess they weren’t interested in the rocky waters either. We got to the stingray spot which our guide educated us was were locals go because it was too rough in the other spot. Again, the guide did a great job! The tour operator, owner or manager should be ashamed that they took advantage of us. Personally won’t ever book thru them again. Our safety is more important that a couple bucks discount.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Thank you for you review, I do agree that your safety is paramount, please note that the captain will make the call on tour day to determine if the conditions are safe for a tour, not the Tour Operator, Owner or Manager. I spoke with the Captain and he did confirmed that the weather was not perfect, but was not unsafe for the tour.
    Good experience
    Supreet_S, Dec 2023
    Our group of 5 went with Omar. We initially had to reschedule due to poor weather and he was professional, punctual, and efficient. Pick up and drop off was smooth. We did the 9am tour and opted to skip lunch- total trip was slightly over 3 hours.
    Fantastic
    joe_w, Nov 2023
    Outstanding experience. Omar was fantastic. He knew all the places to go and see. Could not recommend them enough. ( I will say the photos are not worth the cost / take your own pictures). Will definitely donut again.
