Offered in: English

A morning on Grand Cayman’s North Sound reveals three completely different sides of the Caribbean in a single boat adventure.

Start in the shallow, crystal-clear waters of Stingray City, where southern stingrays glide across the famous sandbar in their natural habitat. Then slow things down at Starfish Point, with colorful cushion sea stars along the sandy bottom.

Put on your mask and fins as the scenery changes beneath the surface. Your captain will choose Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef based on the day’s conditions, giving you approximately 40 minutes to snorkel among coral formations, tropical fish, and other marine life.

From standing on a shallow sandbar surrounded by stingrays to spotting sea stars and exploring a Caribbean reef underwater, each stop shows you a different side of Grand Cayman’s marine world. Whether visiting for the day on a cruise or staying on the island, experience three of Cayman’s signature marine settings in one morning.
