Overview

Two unforgettable ways to experience Grand Cayman. One Caribbean adventure.

Step into the warm, crystal-clear waters of Stingray City, where majestic southern stingrays glide through the shallows around you. With water no more than 5 feet deep, experience one of Grand Cayman’s most iconic marine encounters.

Then discover another world beneath the surface. Snorkel at Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef, with your captain choosing the best spot for the day. Swim above colourful coral formations, tropical fish and the vibrant marine life of Cayman’s reefs.

Whether you’re visiting on a cruise or staying on the island, this adventure makes the most of your time, combining Stingray City and reef snorkelling in just a few hours, with an experienced crew, snorkel gear and transport included.

At the end, we’ll take you back near your cruise ship tender terminal or to your Seven Mile Beach accommodation, with incredible photos, Caribbean memories and plenty of stories to take home.

Your Grand Cayman adventure begins with pickup from the Seven Mile Beach area.
