Grand Cayman: Ultimate 2-Stop Stingray City Adventure

We were picked at our hotel. Great crew, very friendly and helpful. We spent a significant time with the sting rays feeding them and holding one of them. Starfish beach was also fun. Overall, a well organized, safe, and fun excursion. Chose this one because it was independently owned and operated with about 20 guests instead of large group. Going on a Saturday avoided the cruise ship crowd at Stingray City. I Highly recommend Rowan Watersports if you want a more personalized excursion.

Holding a stingray at Stingray City (1st stop) and a starfish at Starfish Point (an unannounced 3rd stop) were highlights of the trip. Unfortunately, it was a windy and sometimes rainy day, so the water was choppy and not conducive to good snorkeling at our second stop. There were only 14 passengers on the boat, and the crew was most helpful both in and out of the water.

Great crew and adventure! Knowledgeable staff and very friendly. They were great with our little sailor on his first boat adventure.

The Captain and his crew were so cohesive and very informative. They took the time to explain how we should handle the stingrays and star fish. The Captain also had stuffed animals of each and made some good jokes. I definitely recommend!

Up close and personal with the Sting rays. They lay in your arms and hang out on your chest amazing. Must see while on the island. Best day trip !

Wonderful excursion! We had a great time and highly recommend it. Robert Sr had wonderful stories in the shuttle ride and Robert Jr and the crew were a lot of fun to hang with. Everyone is very knowledgeable and genuinely invested in everyone having a great experience. It was wonderful to see their passion for the sea animals and the extra steps they took to make sure everyone enjoyed them without causing any harm. The boat was very clean and they had great sterilization practices which is a huge plus for me!

Our captain was great! We liked it so much we went twice on our vacation. The groups were small and Poncho was so helpful. We learned a lot!

My sister in law and I went on this tour and absolutely loved it. The guides were excellent, the stingrays were absolutely beautiful and so gentle and the group size was great. There were 12 in our group. We were able to snorkel, hold the stingrays and even went to starfish beach. We were also able to purchase photos that the guides took of us. This was one of the neatest experiences. The water was a little rough so if you have motion sickness you would definitely need to take medication. Also lots of sunscreen.

So the whole stingray experience was cool and magical. I am glad they are in their own habitat - was worried about that. They are amazing and beautiful creatures and appreciate learning about them.

Captain Marvin trip to Stingray City is a definite must do. Crew was helpful and informative throughout the trip. Would do it all again.
