Three completely different sides of Grand Cayman. One unforgettable Caribbean adventure.

Step into the warm, crystal-clear waters of Stingray City, where majestic southern stingrays glide through the shallows around you. Then slow things down at Starfish Point, surrounded by clear Caribbean waters, starfish and the natural beauty of one of the island’s most distinctive coastal settings.

And there’s still another world waiting beneath the surface. Slip on your snorkel gear and explore Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef, with your crew choosing the best spot for the day’s visibility. Swim among colorful coral formations, tropical fish and the vibrant marine life of Grand Cayman.

With an experienced crew and convenient transportation, all that’s left is to enjoy the Caribbean. When the adventure comes to a close, we’ll take you back near your cruise ship tender terminal or to your Seven Mile Beach accommodation, with lasting memories of an incredible day in Grand Cayman.

    Stingray City

    Your Grand Cayman adventure begins with pickup from the Seven Mile Beach area. Cruise guests meet at the Waterfront Centre, a short walk from the cruise port, while guests outside the pickup area or without hotel information meet at Cayman Falls Plaza, along the Seven Mile Beach corridor. After the ride to the marina, board your boat and cruise across the Caribbean toward Stingray City, one of Grand Cayman’s most iconic experiences. Then comes the moment you came for. Step into the warm, crystal-clear waters of the famous sandbar as majestic southern stingrays glide through the shallows around you. With water typically no more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep, you can experience these graceful creatures up close in their natural environment. Enjoy approximately 40 minutes at Stingray City, taking in the turquoise Caribbean, learning about the stingrays from your crew and capturing the kind of photos that become favorite memories of your Cayman adventure.
