We took the tour to Coral Gardens, Barrier Reef and Stingray City. The staff were all very friendly and informative. The boat was spacious and comfortable. One of the staff even coaxed out a green moray eel for us to see at the reef! At Stingray City they were especially informative about the stingrays and helped us handle them in... more

Awesome!

If your going on a cruise and stopping in Grand Cayman don't book thru the cruise. Just go online and reserve your spot with Captain Marvin's. They are right across the street from the pier. Great service! They took us out on a good boat with a bathroom on board! On the bus ride to the boat the bus drivers... more

My son and I used Captain Marvin's last week. We were driven to/from the boat dock in a cool van with the driver narrating. There were only 8 passengers on the boat in addition to the crew members, both of which were helpful and informative. We were provided squid to feed the stingrays and shown how to hold and feed... more

I just went on the Captain Marvin Stingray and Snorkling Excursion and can't say enough wonderful things about it. It was an experience of a lifetime for me. I was traveling on the Carnival Legend and booked the excursion independently online. From beginning to end it was a positive experience. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Safety and enjoyment were... more

My family of 8 went on the half day stingray/snorkeling tour and the island tour (Hell, Turtle Farm, etc.) on 9/17. We had a great time on both tours. The boat and bus were not overcrowded at all. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciated that the drivers gave us alot of interesting facts about the island while driving... more

We just came back from Grand Cayman Island yesterday and on our last day there, we visited Stingray City. It was definitely an experience of a life time…and we almost missed it because of the incompetence of Captain Marvin’s reservations staff. DO NOT use Captain Marvin’s if you want to enjoy this unique experience! There are plenty of other tour... more

Despite the beauty of the stingrays, ocean and island, the smoking on the boat ruined the experience. Although the boat was relatively clean and then crew was pleasant, the chain smoking and observing the boat and ocean being used as an ashtray was disturbing. When I approached the crew about having a smoke free ride back to the island, they... more

Great time

Captain Marvin's was a great deal. First, the dollar sucks in Grand Caymans, so nothing is really inexpensive there.... except for Captain's Marvins. We booked the shorter of the trips and went to Stingray City and a coral reef. We only had about 15 in our group, so we didn't feel packed in like some of the other boats I... more

Captain Marvin's was our second choice to take us to Stingray City but turned out to be fantastic. We went in the afternoon after cruise people had gone so had a fairly small group. The crew were helpful, safety conscious and obviously enjoying their job! We were one of only a few boats at Stingray City and were able to... more

I just completed my 6th trip with Captain Marvin......the last trip was over 7 years ago, prior to that it was yearly. This past trip was the half day to the Stingray Sandbar, Coral Gardens and the Barrier Reef. The only difference in the 2 hr versus the half day is the barrier reef which I do NOT recomend...one- it... more
