We had a great tour of the Crystal Caves with Yves. Yves not only has great knowledge about the caves he also was very informative about life on and the history of the Cayman Islands. Yves has a great sense of humor and we highly recommend this tour.

Yves was our very genial and knowledgeable driver and tour guide. Very funny, but challenges everyone on learning more about the Cayman Islands. Picked up eight of us in his open jeep and the tour lasted about 3 1/2 hours. Lots of local information and great recommendations on restaurants and sights to see later. The first major stop was the blowhole for pics. Take your camera/smartphone. Decent footwear is ideal due to the fact you will do some walking on the trails to the caves and then inside the caves. The crystal caves were the highlight of the trip. So interesting and beautiful. Also, seeing various parts of Grand Cayman. Yves was our guide the entire time so we were in good hands.

I booked this tour because we wanted to see the caves and the blow holes. We did see them and they were cool but honestly it was the tour of the island with Yves that was the best part. He is so nice and knowledgeable. You will learn so much from him. Highly recommend!!

Visiting the Cayman Islands? Plan a tour with Cayman Safari Aventures! If you are a rockhound, the Crystal Caves are a "must see" geological wonder. The small group size made it easy to ask questions and learn about the caves, the island and the local culture and area. Great tour! Thank you, Yves!

I booked the Cayman Safari tour for Monday, June 11, 2013 in hopes of getting a history lesson of the island and the people. It is my opinion the tour guide did not respect the island, the people or us tourist. The guide was not very good, he made negative; insensitive remarks and he talked too much about his private life, opinions and thoughts which was not professional and should not have been a part of our tour. Following is just a few remarks the guide made: He said that some people think Jamaicans are criminal but that they had great masonry skills and that he would at least give them credit for that. When he was asked what the dominate religion practiced on the island he said they practiced alcoholism. When we were at St. James he made a statement about a vegetable/fruit that grew on the Plantation that no one would eat, not even the Slaves. He said no matter what anyone thinks about the United States it’s the best country in the world so who would want to sit around reading the Koran. He also stopped us by this shack near or in Georgetown where the ceiling was covered with women’s thongs, he introduced us to this man (I believe his name was Casey) who he said dived for the last of the black coral in the 70’s (he even had the man to show us the coral) and one of the ladies purchased some earring he said he made and paid twice the amount she should have because of his deception. I know she paid twice the amount because when I did go shopping I saw those earrings everywhere. No tourist goes on vacations to be made to feel uneasy, insulted directly or indirectly and disrespected. I was truly disappointed with Cayman Safari and I was more disappointed with the Marriott for promoting a company that does not treat their quest with respect. I complained to the company and was given a 2nd tour that we received on Thursday, June 13, 2013 that was awesome, authentic and extremely informative. Danny turned a BAD experience into a GREAT experience and I was able to enjoy the rest of my 10th Wedding Anniversary Vacation. He made us feel welcomed and provided us with a wealth of information and answered every question about the island and its people. When the tour ended we were very HAPPY.

Dear Angela E,
We are so very sorry to learn that you recently had a negative experience on our tour. Your remarks are completely inconsistent with what we do, the service we provide and past guests reviews. Your review concerns us on various levels. Primarily because our dedication lies in providing a premier land-based excursion for visitors that will expose our Caymanian culture in a vibrant and exciting way, so they leave Cayman with a greater appreciation of its history, culture and people. This is priority #1. All of our team members have professional training & credentials, years of experience and each has completed the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism Pride training course. We take your remarks very, very seriously. Never in five years of operation have we had even a single complaint consistent with yours.
We are very confused with this review. The claims of things stated along the way at best appear to be taken out of context, at worst, just clearly untrue. No one else has mentioned the things and experiences you speak of.
We pride ourselves on sharing a piece of our country, our Home with our guests. We want them to discover a different place through interactive multi-sensory experiences learning genuine Caymanian culture and authentic history of its unique place in the Caribbean and the New World.
This is what we love, and this is why we do it!
Cayman Safari adventures and it's staff are committed to conducting business with integrity and the highest standard of ethics. We are sorry you had a negative experience on our tour, but we trust that you enjoyed Cayman as a whole and enjoyed your 10 year anniversary together.
Sincerely,
David Bowerman

I was a little disappointed as I had expected a tour 4x4 to be just that cross country possibly the sand dunes etc. This tour could have been conducted in any type of vehicle bus, vans or any type of vehicle that wholes more than six people. There were seven on our tour and it was very nice meeting people from different countries. The Pedro St. James was very nice and historical. They also had a very nice gift shop as well as a liquor store to purchase your rum and rum cakes. The Botanic Park was also very nice with a great gift shop. The blow holes were unique but had seen them in Hawaii. All in all a nice way to see a lot of the island.

Just before traveling to the Caymans, I was told about Cayman Safari Adventures and specifically about how good Shirley was. I immediately booked a tour with Shirley and was not disappointed. She is a wonderful tour guide. She is extremely flexible and can adjust the tour to your liking. We had already visited Rum Point so instead she took us to Georgetown, the rum factory and Caybrew brewery. The best part of the tour was the Botanical Gardens. Her knowledge of the Gardens and various plants was amazing. While there we saw 6 blue iguanas. I would highly recommend taking this tour with Shirley to anyone visiting the Grand Caymans even if you have been there before.

We had an absolutely amazing time with Yves. Our first destination was the Blowholes and while the surf wasn't cooperating, the fossils near the shore were interesting and worth the stop. We all enjoyed the marine life as well.
On to the Crystal Caves! Everyone who visits the Cayman Islands should visit these. They are a wonderful example of a true living cave system. Beautiful.

The only bad part of our stay was this tour. $158 and half a day we can never recoup. A total waste of time. The really bad thing about it was our tour guide, Mike. HE NEVER SHUT UP THE ENTIRE TIME. He talked about the island's schools, government, taxes, yawn, yawn. Not once did he look up and consider weather anyone was interested. When my husband and I first got into the jeep, Mike *ordered* all the passengers to get to know one another. We never got a chance because Mr. Windbags blabbed constantly. The only saving grace was that his new microphone system didn't work. Skip this outing, especially with blabbermouth Mike.

Went to the caves and blowholes. Much better caves in the states. Really is no off-roading. Spend your money doing a different activity. I believe the going rate for this is $89.95 per person.

How rough is the ride? If it varies depending on the tour, is there one that wouldn’t put too much strain on a bad back?
CaymanSafari
Grand Cayman
That depends on the tour. On our Caves tour, It has sectional rough road while other tours are on the regular street roads. We offer people with back problem so sit in the front with driver.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Hi Emmyla, I'm wondering if I can go only to Crystal caves from cruise port and come back in 5-6 hours? how much it costs? how do I reach there? Please let me know any detail you can provide.

I don't know how you would get there short of renting a car or have the cruise ship arrange transportation. I don't recall the price but you should find that online. You do need to book ahead.
Have a great trip.
