Itinerary
Enjoy the changing colors of the Caribbean as the last light of day stretches across Grand Cayman. After convenient pickup from selected Seven Mile Beach accommodations or meeting at Captain Marvin’s Dock, board the boat and cruise across North Sound toward Starfish Point. Arrive at this peaceful corner of the island as the sun begins to set. Known for its clear, shallow water and colorful sea stars, Starfish Point feels worlds away from Grand Cayman’s busier beaches. Step into the warm water, take in the golden coastline, and observe colorful sea stars beneath the surface in their natural habitat. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights into these remarkable animals, the surrounding marine life, and the delicate ecosystem that makes Starfish Point so special. With the sunset reflected across the bay, it’s a picture-perfect beginning to an extraordinary evening on the water.
As darkness settles over Cayman Kai, continue by boat into one of the Caribbean’s most extraordinary nighttime settings. Hidden within this peaceful corner of Grand Cayman is a secluded bioluminescent bay where millions of microscopic organisms illuminate the water with every movement. Grand Cayman is one of the world’s most spectacular destinations for experiencing this rare natural phenomenon. Watch the bay glow from the boat or enter the water for an optional swim, moving your hands beneath the surface as flashes of blue-green light shimmer around you under the Caribbean night sky. Your knowledgeable guides will reveal the science behind the glow and explain the delicate natural conditions that make this remarkable ecosystem possible. After an unforgettable evening in Bio Bay, cruise back beneath the stars before returning comfortably to your original pickup location.

About Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands, a flat Caribbean island known for Seven Mile Beach, coral reefs and shallow sandbar waters.
George Town, the capital, sits on the sheltered west coast of Grand Cayman, a low limestone island ringed by coral. Seven Mile Beach, a long band of pale sand running north from the capital, is lined with hotels, restaurants and dive shops. The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory, and the banking offices of George Town stand beside the cruise piers and the small national museum.
