What travelers say
★ 4.7 · 2100 reviews"The board push from the dolphins was unreal. You're basically surfing on your stomach pushed by two dolphins. Then the Turtle Centre. All in one morning. This is the one to book if your group can swim."

"Bought this as an anniversary treat and it absolutely delivered. The trainers photograph everything so you have memories from every interaction. The dolphins seemed as curious about us as we were about them. Genuinely joyful experience."

"The Turtle Centre is a real highlight people underestimate. You can hold a sea turtle and learn about the conservation program. Combined with the dolphin swim, this is two bucket-list moments in four hours. Worth every penny."

Stingray City & Starfish Point
Cruise out on a spacious, brand-new catamaran for a morning with Grand Cayman's southern stingrays at the sandbar, snorkel a reef stop (Coral Gardens or Barrier Reef), then relax at postcard-perfect Starfish Point, with about 40 minutes to enjoy each stop.
Stingray City, Barrier Reef & Coral Gardens
Our most popular Stingray City combo: spend time with Grand Cayman's southern stingrays at the sandbar, then snorkel two full reef stops back to back, Barrier Reef and Coral Gardens, for double the underwater time of a single-stop tour.
Stingray City, Snorkel & Beach Lunch
Spend half the day on the water: two snorkel stops (a seasonal conch dive from November through April), the Stingray City sandbar, and a fresh, Cayman-style seafood lunch on the beach across the North Sound.
