Any recommendation for Stingray City Tours

[Chad3219]

Can anyone recommend a good tour company in Grand Cayman that does Stingray City? I can't remember the name of the place I used last time.

Thanks in advance.

We went with Captain Marvin and had a fabulolus time. A guy came with us with an awesome camera and took pictures of us with the stingrays and offers to put them on DVD for you ---for a price of course. He will deliver to your ship before it sails. Great pics but price is high. Be nice and talk him down on the price. I love our pictures!

We went with Captain Bryan's - small group with 2 stops for snorkeling!

It was great!

...Another positive vote for Nativeway Watersports! We've used them twice and always had a great trip. Much smaller groups and a lot of personalized service from the mates. Always a highlight of our cruises!

We also went with Capt. Marvin.....highly recommend. The others mentioned are also good & have had great reviews here.

Enjoy!

I have used Dave's tours twice small groups great people. I think we paid like $35.00 each and had 15 people. You can find them at the dock just ask anyone holding a sign.

We used Captain Marvin's and had a blast. I don't know if the others are like him or not but if your ship misses the port because of bad weather, you don't get charged for the excursion. That is one thing to check into before booking with any of them.

Moby Dick Tours was great - and easy on the budget ($35 pp). Never ran out of squid to feed the rays and included an extra reef snorkel stop. We reserved ahead of time online - and they were waiting for us on the dock.....

Another vote for Captain Marvin's... www.captainmarvins.com

 

We bought the CD because we had our whole family with us and thought it would be nice....only bought 1 though and burned some copies. It was a really nice DVD to watch though.

Captain Bryans was awesome!

 

Sailed out on a nice catamaran, two snorkel stops and the stingrays. Loved em!

We have used Soto's Cruises when we are in Grand Cayman and have had nothing but a great time with them.

We went on our first cruise in June and booked with Captain Marvins. Everything went great, primarily due to the attention of the crew.

 

One of our daughters (18yo) was nervous about the stingrays prior to the excursion, but I did not anticipate her almost having a panic attack:eek: upon standing in the water with the rays coming close to her. She immediately went back onto the boat and would have remained there if not for the personal attention she received from the crew.

 

First they were able to coax her back into the water by getting her to touch a baby stingray. After a while longer, she was comfortable enough to be able to receive a back massage from one of the large rays!!

 

None of this would have been possible without the compassion of the crew and their desire to have every passenger leave with wonderful memories.

 

Captain Marvins is #1 in my book.

http://www.grandcaymancruiseexcursions.com has 2 tours. We love them and will always try and book with them for all shore excursions! We had a small group (maybe 12 ish) and we had alot of stingray time with a great guide. We got to see the loaded boats of the other tours and we were SO glad we used these guys instead. The day we were there our ship was going to be leaving early and they were able to rearrange our time slot to fit so we could still have our tour and get back to the tender line on time. We are already booked for our next vivst. :)

Another vote for Captain Marvins, went with them in May and had a great time. As the previous poster said the crew was fantastic.

Captin Bryan's on the Buccaneer was great with two beautiful snorkel stops and great guides. About $40 or $45 each.

I have to agree, Nativeway and Sheldon were great! We've also used Soto's and they were good as well.

We've used Capt. Bryan's 3 of the 4 times we've been in Cayman.

[indiaksue]

We also liked Nativeway.

[Luv2Relax06]

My family has used Nativeway twice and we love them! Last time we were on Sheldon's boat. It was awesome. Lots of personal attention. I even got to drive the boat from the port to sting ray city and from Rum Point Beach back to the port. I highly recommend them.

Red Sail is great. Used them twice on Cayman.
