About this experience
Experience the famous Stingray City and snorkel at some of the Cayman Islands' most colorful reefs during this excursion on Grand Cayman. Board a cabin cruiser to meet your friendly captain and crew, then head out to the sandbar at Stingray City.
Your boat excursion will take you to 3 different locations on Grand Cayman, including the coral gardens and barrier reef, the highlight of which is Stingray City, a section of water (no more than 5 feet / 1.5 meters deep) and sandbars home to a population of southern stingrays.
Jump in to the shallow water and interact with the gentle creatures, even as they swim slowly around you. Continue to one of the island's most popular snorkeling spots. Don the provided snorkel equipment and explore the underwater world, rich with marine life like coral and tropical fish.
When this great day comes to an end, you'll be taken back close to your Grand Cayman cruise ship tender terminal or your hotel with long lasting memories of a great eco-adventure!
