Your experience
Stop 1
Experience the world-famous Stingray City, one of the Cayman Islands’ most iconic attractions, on an unforgettable three-stop adventure. Begin with convenient transportation from the Waterfront Centre near George Town Cruise Port, selected accommodations within the Seven Mile Beach corridor, or Cayman Falls Plaza. From there, travel to the departure dock and cruise across Grand Cayman’s turquoise North Sound. Arrive at a shallow white-sand bar where crystal-clear water creates the perfect setting to observe graceful southern stingrays gliding through their natural environment. Your experienced crew will share fascinating facts about these remarkable animals and help you capture unforgettable photos.
Stop 2
Continue across the Caribbean to peaceful Starfish Point, a postcard-perfect stretch of coastline known for its warm, shallow water and colorful sea stars. Step into the clear water and observe the sea stars beneath the surface in their natural habitat while your guide explains the delicate ecosystem and marine life that make this secluded location so special. It is a quieter side of Grand Cayman and the perfect contrast to the excitement of Stingray City.
Stop 3
Complete your three-stop adventure with approximately 40 minutes of guided snorkeling at Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef. Your captain will select the best location according to wind, waves, tides, and visitor levels. Slip beneath the crystal-clear surface and explore colorful coral formations as tropical fish move through the reef below. After snorkeling, relax during the scenic boat ride back across North Sound before transportation returns you to your original pickup or meeting point.
