What To Expect
Stingray City
Get ready for an exciting, unique adventure as you swim among the stingrays -- some of the most docile sea creatures in the world! Featured in National Geographic Magazine, Stingray City is the Cayman Islands’ most popular site. Here, 30 to 40 gentle Southern Atlantic stingrays swim freely in 3 to 5 feet of crystal-clear, current-free waters, waiting to see what you've brought them for lunch. It was created by accident in the mid-80s when fishermen returning to port anchored in the calm waters of the Sound to clean their catch and discard bait overboard. The stingrays, drawn by the smell of the fish, quickly became accustomed to the “free meal” and stayed. Today, the rays regularly dine on squid provided by divers and snorkelers. Native Way instructors will show you how to interact with these incredible animals in the only place in the world where you can do so in the wild.
Starfish Point
Star Fish Point At this location, you will delight in the hunt to seek out beautiful Caribbean starfish. Easily located at this site, the magic begins once the guest finds a starfish. The beauty and color of these incredible creatures give you a vibe mixed with awe, peacefulness, and happiness. This location is approximately 3 feet deep and suitable for individuals of all ages.

5.00The experience is the best one you can get in Cayman Islands. We are treated with the upmost respect and like vip guests. The tour guides are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They guide you every step of the way. They provide beverages and allow you to feel comfortable on the boat and throughout the tour. Will answer all your questions and provide all the support you might need. They treat the Stingrays with respect and are with you all the time to be able to play with the animals in a respectful manner. If you are afraid they also help with that. The environment is extremely safe and welcoming. 100/10 recommended

5.00Great experience for all ages. Our family of 10 ranged from ages 6 to 70. The Captain and his mate were incredible. He was attentive, professional, and cared about everyone’s experience. Safety was paramount. The three stops were thrilling, even for those of us who have experienced similar excursions in the past. The snorkeling had large schools of beautiful fish in 10 feet of water, equipment was included. The stingray encounter was memorable, the captain personally ensured each group had photo opportunities and time to enjoy the stingrays in a respectful manor. The smiles on our children’s and grandchildren’s faces were the best part of our cruise. The starfish encounter exceeded expectations. A small, quaint island, water waist deep, and several large starfish along the sandy floor. Everyone was gentle and respectful of the creatures, it was truly magical. We thought 3 1/2 hours would be too long, but the time went by so quickly. Even the bus driver, Poppie, was a joy, giving us facts and history of the country. The bus was modern with cool air conditioning. Meeting the tour operator was easier than expected - 75 feet straight back upon entering the terminal, they and other companies had their table under a large white canopy. Ample benches to relax and wait under the canopy to avoid hot sun. Overall, we highly recommend this specific tour. From the check-in, to the short bus ride, and the excursion itself, it was a perfect day!

5.00Captain Sheldon and his crew were awesome! Smaller boat size so not totally packed full of people like some of the others. He took his time and made sure everyone was comfortable and had an opportunity to interact with whatever portions of the tour they wanted.
