My husband and I just returned from a cruise to the Western Caribbean which included a stop in Grand Cayman. Being able to visit Stingray City and experience the stingrays has been one of my “bucket list” items for a number of years, but I didn’t want to book through the cruise line and be on one of those “cattle... more

I went on the Rays, Reef and Rum Point tour thru Native Way after reading extensive reviews. I was not dissappointed! We boarded the boat right on time and had a very small group of 9 people. The crew brought out a large ice chest with punch and water for everyone. We had a nice boat ride out to Stingray... more

TIme is precious while you are on vacation. We decided to give Dexter's Fantasea Tours a try after reading a review that he gets you to Stingray City sooner than anyone else. When we disembarked from our cruise ship we looked all over for Dexter. He was a no-show. After asking around where he picked up, we were finally taken... more

I recently jet skied to stingray City Sandbar and even though I had gone once already, I found this new experience the most exhilarating yet. When my friend Dalia told me we would be going to Stingray City with Jet Ski, I was excited by the fact that this would be an experience out of the ordinary boat trip. Dalia,... more

My mom (70+) years young, located "stingraysailing.com" before we went on our cruise. We booked this tour and were thrilled that the price was half the cost of the cruise lines brochure price. When we arrived in Grand Cayman, we found the blue "stingray sailing tours" sign held by Chip Whitney. He had a red bandana on his head and... more

My boyfriend and I traveled to Grand Caymans with another couple in January of 2008. I had already researched Stingray City to the nines before we left and was convinced I was going to do it, regardless of the fact that everyone else I was traveling with protested to wanting to go. We arranged a tour with a woman who... more

A couple of weeks ago, my family went on a Carnival cruise of the Western Caribbean. I pre-booked excursions that were not part of Carnival's program. Our tour was with Chip Whitney of Stingraysailing.com. We took his catamaran with 24 other people to Stingray City. He provided us with snorkeling equipment and life jackets that were in good condition, free... more

Get off the boat and sign up with Moby Dick tours, on the dock in Grand Cayman. FANTASTIC! What else can I say. The best $40 (cash only) spent ($79 off the cruse ship!) Moby Dick Touirs made my Grand Cayman experience the best stop during our RK Liberty of the Seas cruise stop last week. We didn't book from... more

Stingray City is really an awsome experience. However, Grand Cayman has many cheaters, so be very careful. DO NOT choose Kelly's Tours. Also they haggle quite a bit. Once you get on the island after debarking from your ship, many salespeople are standing by, you can easily haggle the price down to less than $20 per person in the peak... more

My wife and I had a chance to visit Stingray city recently on May 25th. We took a Carnival Cruise to Cayman and Ocho Rios. Here is the review.... Our trip to Grand Cayman was fantastic. We bought an excursion ticket, which if we had the brains would not have done, because the same trip was being offered for 20... more
