Overview

One incredible half-day. Different sides of Grand Cayman. One unforgettable Caribbean adventure.

Step into the warm, crystal-clear shallows of Stingray City, where majestic southern stingrays glide around you. Then continue across the North Sound for another marine adventure, with Starfish Point, additional snorkelling or a seasonal conch experience bringing another side of Cayman into your day.

And just when you think the adventure is over, lunch is waiting by the Caribbean. Enjoy Cayman-style fish or barbecued chicken, aromatic rice and homemade coconut bread, then settle into the sandy shore, take in the waterfront views and let the afternoon slow down around you.

When it’s time to leave, climb back aboard for one last cruise across the North Sound, with turquoise water stretching around you and the Caribbean breeze following you back to shore.

With snorkel gear and return transport included, all that’s left is to swim, explore, eat and enjoy Grand Cayman.

After the ride to the marina, board your boat and cruise across the North Sound towards Stingray City, the experience that helped make Grand Cayman’s stingrays famous.

With water typically no more than 5 feet (1.5 metres) deep, experience these graceful creatures in their natural environment.
