stingray tour

[cruizer1001]

My family and I will be in Grand Cayman first week of August. We are looking for imput on who to use for the stingray and snorkel tour. Do we use captain marvins, moby dick of use the ships excursion?:cool:

We've used Moby Dick twice now - the last time was one week ago - and were impressed both times with the service and overall experieince but I doubt you will go wrong with either Moby or Capt M. The cruiseline package is expensive and crowded, but you will get priority on the tenders which is important if your time in GC is short.

 

We were on Inspiration and in GC from 8-3, but with the lines it took us until almost 10 to get off the tender at the pier and we were back in line at 1:30 immediately after our tour -- not even time for a cold Cay-Brew beer! :(

 

Good luck!

We've used Captain Marvins three different times now and have had great experiences every single time. I have never used the other operators, but would highly recommend Captain Marvins.

that's what my thoughts were either one would be fine. we are on the Conquest and are there from 7:30-4 so I think we will be alright. we might even have a time for a cold one for you John

If you are looking for a cold-one near the port, try Rackham's (walk out of the port, turn left, go about 150 yards, it is just past Hammerheads) - nice outdoor seating with a view of your cruise ship, cold beer, great conch fritters, and a 10% discount if you show your Moby Dick card from your tour! :D

My wife went on Capt Marvin's last month. Everything was very nice, except they didn't have enough fish for everyone to feed the stingrays and if you got some, it was just one piece. It was disappointing.

Has anyone used Soto Cruise Stingray Excursion? I booked through them yesterday for our cruise next month...$35/person. Can anyone tell me anything about them?

 

Thanks,

We went with Moby Dick last week and I can't say enough about how good they were.

We even kissed a stingray for good luck ON FRIDAY THE 13TH:eek:

You will be glad you chose them.

Anyone ever book a stingray tour where you go by Catamaran? I love excursion that use them opposed to boats. I'm going in July and would prefer a Catamaran?

I haven't used them but I ran across it in researching

[Colorado Kat]

We used Nativeways for their Reef, Rays & RumPoint tour. Very nice. I would encourage you to book privately - the cruise ship excursions can be very crowded.

We went with Capt Mark aboard the Far Tortuga, a 43' cat. He only takes a max of 29 people. Great personalized service. We'd go with him again in a heartbeat. www.stingraysailing.com

We went with Moby Dick's. Only had 15 people on the tour with three guides. They educated us on the stingrays on the way out. Had a great time. Don't forget to kiss the stingrays!
