Itinerary
STINGRAY CITY - This is one of the top attractions within the Cayman Islands. With some of the largest southern stingrays in the Caribbean, Stingray City is a must when visiting the Cayman Islands. On this three stop tour, you will have the opportunity to swim among some of the largest stingrays and most colorful reefs surrounding the Cayman Islands. In Stingray City the crystal clear water does not exceed five feet; the highlight of the excursion is the picture taking moment. With the assistance of boat crew, visitors will have the chance to pose near stingrays for the perfect picture, a moment not to be missed.
STARFISH POINT - During the final stop of Starfish Snorkel, guests can relax in shallow water and view various species of starfish with friends and family for a great photo opportunity. Starfish snorkeling is the highlight of the tour for many, especially for visitors with young kids.
CORAL GARDENS - Visitors will be able to witness a wide range of marine organisms and discover a vast array of colorful coral formations when they visit Coral Gardens. Furthermore, there have been instances in which turtles and stingrays have been observed spending time at this location. Despite the fact that the water depth in this particular spot can fluctuate anywhere from eight to twelve feet, it is exceptionally clear, clean and stunning.

5Must do!
There are several stingray tours, but what stood out to me about this one was they provided the transportation and would pick you up at your hotel. The whole experience was so fun. The guides were very friendly and experiencing the stingrays was amazing. This is a must do when visiting Grand Cayman
5Stingrays delight !
This was a fun excursion. We got picked up at the port and bused to the boat. There we loaded too about 30 minutes we snorkel for about 40 minutes then we headed to the sand bar to feed and see the stingrays. We all got to feed them and hold them. It was nice the stingrays are large and we spent about 35 minutes there then we headed to starfish beach where we seen starfish. I would definitely recommend this trip. It was well organized and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly.
5Stingray City excursion...
Stingray City excursion was absolutely incredible! Mark, our tour Director was very accommodating, he even purchased a squishy toy set for our daughter who was asking for one as she gets nervous on boat. He brought it to her at the boat dock after we rode the bus over. Adrian and Carlos were very informative and entertaining. Carlos made sure that everyone had their pictures and videos taken with the stingrays and they were very interactive. We will definitely be booking again!

About George Town
George Town, capital of the Cayman Islands, is a waterfront town on Grand Cayman's west coast, a financial centre beside Seven Mile Beach and coral reefs.
George Town fronts a sheltered harbour on the west coast of Grand Cayman, and its compact centre of low buildings holds the territory's banks and offshore finance firms. The Cayman Islands National Museum occupies a historic building near the waterfront, and the remains of Fort George, built in the eighteenth century to guard the harbour, stand on the shore.
