    Wonderful unique experience, a 'must do' when visiting Cayman Islands! Swam with and kissed stingrays, boat trip to different parts of the island and snorkelled among beautiful coral gardens, fish and starfish. Highly recommend this company, well organised, safe, and really friendly knowledgeable guide Andrew and his skipper, thanks for our amazing memories!

    Had really great experience. Stingray City is amazing. We got to hold stingrays, feed them and interact with them. This was the main highlight of our trip to Cayman Islands. I would even go again. The boat was very nice too. And it was very reasonably priced, unlike many other things on the island. Once in a lifetime kind of experience.

    We booked this when we got to port. We took a boat out to beautiful, clear water part of the ocean. The water was cool but somewhat warm. Felt refreshing given the hot, humid weather. Once we got there, the boat anchored and we all got out. The water was shallow, about 4 feet so most people could stand with their head about water. Easy with kids if they can swim or water flotation jackets are available. You can touch, interact and feed the rays. This was definitely a great and memorable experience with the kids.

    Stingray city is fantastic. We were worried it would be too overplayed and touristy. With two boats in Port we still had a blast. We were on a smaller tour group but had a blast. Hanging out on a natural sandbar in the middle of the bay is so cool and fun! Don't worry about stingrays they don't want anything to do with you but are comfortable around you.

    Great experience if you’re ever in The Cayman Islands. First stop was to see the coral reefs and as a non swimmer, the water is 14 feet but the team makes you feel safe with life jackets. The second stop is Stingray City which you get to hold and kiss the stingrays and once you follow the team’s instructions you will be safe from anything happening. The team provided water and soda and the boat ride was pleasant. Overall a great team and execution.

    Top things to do when visiting CI! We opted in for the stingray + starfish tour. The tour had about 25-30 people on it - however it did not feel overwhelming The staff was tentative & helpful the whole time. Feeding the stingrays was a beautiful experience! Snorkeling 🤿 was great as well - lots of sting rays & bright coral! Boat has water/light refreshments. Would pack own snacks if needed! Would highly recommend!

    I can't do a half star, so really think of this as a 4.5 review. The main reason for this is simply the time management (or lack thereof) of the tour. We booked the Stingray City, Coral Gardens, and Starfish Snorkel tour which is advertised as 3.5 hours long. In reality, it was way closer to the 5 hour end of things. It departed late from the port, which didn't help. There was also a lot of inconsistency with how long we stayed at each location; I feel that more time should have been given for snorkeling at the Coral Garden location than at both Stingray City and the Starfish. While we still made it back in time to the port before the last tender left, we had an onboard activity booked for 4:30pm that we missed. That said, we really enjoyed this tour! Our boat captain (Angel) was great, and I really loved that he gave all the kids (and kids at heart) a chance to drive the boat. The snorkeling at Coral Gardens was amazing, and he made sure to toss out some food for the fish multiple times so everyone could get a good look. Angel and his crew were also very good about making sure anyone who needed/wanted a life jacket got one.

    If considering going out to Stingray City, I highly recommend this business. The online booking and payment process was seamless. The appointment and meeting instructions were clear and thorough. The trip itself was better than anticipated! The crew was very experienced, helpful, and informative. They made sure that each passenger was very well taken care of and we were taken to the best spots and given plenty of information and assistance so that, when interacting with the sealife, we were completely at ease. They also made sure to convey that the sealife was to be treated with respect and ensured that local laws were adhered to. If you want an unforgettable and immersive Cayman Island experience, this is the place to make it happen!

    Incredible experience! This is the absolute must do activity in Caymen islands. Not only was the boat ride fun and beautiful, but the sting ray experience was incredible. We fed the rays and one ray bit my hand slightly. Our guide has the rays swim all over us. The vibe of the area was incredible. 5/5. 10/10. 100/100. Go!

    My wife and I had a great time on the Stingray City tour of Starfish Point, Stingray Sandbar, and Coral Gardens this past Saturday 12/16. The boat captain and crew made sure everyone was comfortable and saw the beautiful animals and scenery. The boat crew went out of their way to ensure everyone thoroughly enjoyed some of the greatest Grand Cayman things to do and see. I would recommend Stingray City to anyone. It was a very pleasurable afternoon we will never forget.

    Thank you! The Grand Tour was very grand! It offered an exciting and convenient day, with pick up/ drop off at our hotel on Seven Mile Beach. Appreciated the friendly and patient boat staff providing snorkel gear for exploring the reef as well as some small cold bottled waters for everyone during the boat tour as we sped to three different locations. Back into the van and to the turtle park where snorkeling in the algae-filled turtle enclosure was interesting, but then we NEEDED a shower and to change clothes (convenient locker rooms here)—so didn’t have enough time to see everything there or grab lunch at the turtle lagoon restaurant since the cruise ship people had to be rushed back. Notes: Snacks for kids and lots of additional water, sunscreen prior, phone in a waterproof sleeve/bag, credit card for kissing photo, cash for tipping the boat crew and van driver, towel and coverup for in between stops, amphibious water shoes.

    Did the snorkeling, stingray, starfish trip. In all, took around 3 hours. They picked us up from a seven mile hotel. 20-25 people crammed in a van, but nothing out of the ordinary. Calm boat ride. Funny, enthusiastic tour guides. Stingray interaction was a little underwhelming, but snorkeling was fun. Overall good value excursion for the price, would definitely recommend for people looking for a relaxing, memorable activity.

    We had the most amazing experience yesterday. The rays r abundant and friendly. The sand bar is shallow and was easy to maneuver as I watched the rays zoom by and rub up against me. Feeding them was an experience I won’t soon forget. Highly recommend dropping by for a visit.

    SO WORTH IT! We took the 3.5 hour tour including stingray bay, starfish, and coral gardens. The staff were very hospitable and humorous. The experience was well worth the price. I’d definitely return and do this or a longer tour. A must do before leaving the Cayman Islands!

    Wonderful Wonderful experience to interact with the stingrays and these are pretty big in size here in this place. Water level is bit high like up to your neck if you stand but no problem. Plenty of stingrays all around plus other beautiful fishes. Our tour operators ROWAN WATERSPORTS were very nice friendly and cooperative. Gave plenty of time to interact and feed them.

    Calm waters today! Beautiful day at the sandbar interacting with the stingrays..

  • 4/5 Hans H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great boat tour! We did the stingray, coral gardens, and starfish point tour. The stingrays were definitely the highlight of the tour, no other experience like it anywhere. They are so soft! Captain and crew were very helpful and instructive on how to stay safe and handle the wildlife. Personally, I thought that the coral gardens were a little underwhelming (just go to Eden Rock instead), but everything else was very good.

    Went out here with stingray City. We stopped at starfish point first. Stingray City was very busy. The people running the tour tried to keep things under control with all the people out there keep their groups together. Did excellent job of trying to take pictures of everyone. The waves were really rough that day huge ways would come up and you'd have to jump up because they were over your head. We did get to hold the stingray. They also put the stingray on her back from a massage

    The experience was wonderful the crew was wonderful but we did this 25 years ago and there were a lot more stingrays. It was a sea of black when they all swam up. I still highly recommend though

    Great tour and experience with stingrays and starfish. I did the 3 activity package and well worth money. Captain and his mates are funny and make the day very entertaining, but also keep safety in mind. They also have a photographer that takes pictures of your interaction with stingray that you can purchase, which is great so you don’t have to worry about taking pictures and just enjoy the experience.

    Truly a 5-star experience. Captain Jake and Andrew will take good care of you and they ensured everyone on the trip had a chance to interact with the stingrays and starfish. I'm so glad we went!

    Red sail use massive catamarans,breakfast and bar provided. Excellent crew and they introduced us to the beautiful stingrays . Snorkelling 🤿 on the reef is amazing 🤩

  • 5/5 Jason L. 1 year ago on Google
    A must! You get to swim and interact with the stingrays on a sandbar in a gorgeous location. The animals are docile and friendly and the guides are informative. Recommend going when there are no cruise ships docking for the day.
