One legendary sandbar. One vibrant Caribbean reef. Two unforgettable sides of Grand Cayman.

Cruise across the sparkling North Sound to world-famous Stingray City, where warm, shallow water and a white-sand bottom create the perfect setting to watch graceful southern stingrays glide through their natural environment.

Then continue to either Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef, selected by your captain according to the day’s conditions and visitor levels. Slip beneath the crystal-clear surface and snorkel above colorful coral formations as tropical fish move through the reef below.

Whether you’re arriving by cruise ship or staying on the island, round-trip transportation, a certified crew, snorkeling equipment, water, and fruit punch are included—everything is ready for you to experience Grand Cayman from its most spectacular perspective, the Caribbean Sea.
