If you are in Grand Cayman, you must see Stingray City, and it is definitely better to use a local charter than to go through any of the cruise lines. Local charters take fewer people, and cost considerably less than the cruise lines. We used Dexters Fantasea Tours and were thoroughly impressed. Dexter is a native Caymanian and knows the... more

I didn't visit Stingray City when my wife and I went to Cayman Islands 15 yrs ago and regreted since. Finally we have a chance to visit it this time when my wife and I plus two daughters(12 & 8) took a cruise trip. I read a lot of good feedback about Mooby Dick Tour from Tripadvisor and made our... more

I went with Moby Dick Tours. Mark the owner was fantastic. Very informative and funny. Also much cheaper than booking through the cruise companies. He put everyone at ease about the safety of going in the water with the Stingrays. The experience was amazing, scary but thrilling and I am so glad that I have done it and will not... more

Last week we had a brief stop over during our cruise in grand Cayman island . We had decided to go with Captain Marvins tours even before our vacation because we knew all tours booked on the ship were more costly. We made the contact after looking at various web sites emailed our questions and request for reservations and got... more

If you are able to rent a charter boat or find a tour boat to Stingray City - do not miss out on this experience. Stingray City is a large sandbar in the ocean. Your boat will anchor and you get to swim and wade with the Stingrays. The water is fairly shallow, so you can even just walk through... more

We went to Sting Ray City with Moby Dick Tours. It was about half the price of the cruise excursion for the same attraction. We were able to get on the first tender from our cruise ship. It ended up being too early for the tour, but it did give us some time to scout around for the afternoon shopping.... more

We (extended family of 12, aged 10 to 66) booked this tour with Native Way Watersports. We were on a cruise, so we were picked up at the pier and transported (stopping along the way at one hotel to pick up other passengers) to the boat that took us out for the day. The boat held only 25 total passengers... more

Wow, how fascinating are those stingrays? I read some information about this before arriving by cruise ship. I can't imagine a better animal experience. If you are a person that loves all the creatures of the ocean this is a must see. You will be impressed by the amount of them there are some of their different sizes. I would... more

Stingray City is a must see if you are visiting Grand Cayman. I was a little nervous to go out on this excursion because Steve Irwin had passed away 1 week before my trip to Grand Cayman. Everyone was telling me I HAD TO see Stingray City though. The stingrays come up to your boat almost as soon as as... more

this is an absolute must see but if you are somehow white beware! the tour we took was in a catamaran and there was very little shade, I applied waterproof 50spf lotion three times and I still got burned! So, do ask if the boat you are taking has shade, keep your shirt and hat on and enjoy! more
