The third time we went off snorkeling on our own and wished we had gone back to Capt Marvins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkfish Posted August 18, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2008 GCM is one of our favorite places on earth! We have done several land-based vacations there. We are both divers, so we will always go back to GCM again and again. Here are a few ideas: + Jolly Roger - we usually do the sunset sail that includes drinks and dinner, but they do sails during the day, as well + Turtle Farm + Botanical Gardens + Surfing on East End + Hanging out at Rum Point + Best snorkeling by far is at Cemetary Reef, just north of Seven Mile Beach IMO, I don't get the fascination with Stingray City. There is so much more to this island, that's pretty much my least favorite thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinerGroom Posted August 18, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2008 We did a Jeep tour of the island and had a great time. Great sites, lots of fun sliding around in the sand in a Jeep, rum cake, snorkeling.. we'd definitely do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhinsAndGills Posted August 18, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm not even planning a cruise to Grand Cayman - but I would now just because of hearing about Captain Marvin! I'll try that next time I'm in Grand Cayman! THANKS for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macwoman Posted August 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We just came off the Enchantment and did the snorkel excursion with Capt. Marvin. He is 92 years old and was on our boat!!! I have a picture with him. We only had about 16 or so people on our boat and it worked out great. The water is so blue there. What ever you choose have a great time!!

butrflynlambie Posted August 19, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We did the snorkel plus Rays. Snorkeling was not excellent, no special reef section picked out, just convienance for the tour guide, but by far a worthwhile experience. We are doing the western again and our experience with Grand Cayman was by far the reason for us revisiting this cruise (and timing due to pregnant wife) I would like to do a snorkel only at cayman this next trip.
