Any recs for excursions in the Cayman Islands?

My wife and I are going to Grand Cayman on the Triumph in May. Does anyone have excursion recommendations? We especially enjoy catamaran/snorkling trips.

You MUST go to Stingray City! We did our excursion on Captain Bryan's Buccaneer. Here is a link to my photos: http://community.webshots.com/album/530801710NJTzFf

 

Here is a list that I have compiled from recommendations here on CC.

 

Sailboats:

Buccaneer: http://caymanislandsdiscounts.com/Stingray_City_Buccaneer_Excursion.htm

Captain Bryan’s: http://grandcaymancruiseexcursions.com/StingrayCityCaptBryans.htm

 

Motorized:

Captain Marvin’s: http://www.captainmarvins.com

Nativeway: http://www.nativewaywatersports.com/shiptours.html

I suggest that you check out their tours and the timing and find what works best for you.

 

Have fun planning.

Do a discover scuba dive if you are medically fit enough. Snorkeling compares to scuba diving just like window shopping compares to actually going into the store to look at the goods up close.

great pictures! i sent in a reservation request for buccaneer, thx a ton for your help.....

[joseywales]

thx to all of you for the great advice. i wouldnt have known to do it this way.

 

bruce-r, as far as snorkling vs scuba diving is concerned, youre right. i was stationed on guam in the navy years ago and dove a lot there and on palau. but, unfortunately, got to the point where i couldnt clear my ears anymore. oh well....

A physician can typically take care of that. In my experience the inability to equalize is typically due to the eustacean tubes are partially bloked and simply need cleaning out. 10 minute procedure.
