Grand Cayman Stingray City & Reef Snorkeling Adventure

What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Stingray City

   Your Grand Cayman adventure begins with pickup from the Seven Mile Beach area. Cruise guests meet at the Waterfront Centre, a short walk from the cruise port, while guests outside the pickup area or without hotel information meet at Cayman Falls Plaza, along the Seven Mile Beach corridor. After the ride to the marina, board your boat and cruise across the Caribbean toward Stingray City, one of Grand Cayman’s most iconic experiences. Then comes the moment you came for. Step into the warm, crystal-clear waters of the famous sandbar as majestic southern stingrays glide through the shallows around you. With water typically no more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep, experience these graceful creatures up close in their natural environment. Enjoy your time surrounded by turquoise Caribbean waters, learning about the stingrays from your crew and capturing incredible photos and memories of your Cayman adventure.

2. Grand Cayman

   Now it’s time to discover Grand Cayman beneath the surface. Your captain will select Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef based on wind, waves, tides and crowds, taking you to the spot offering the best available snorkeling experience that day. Slip into the crystal-clear Caribbean with your provided snorkel gear and explore colorful coral formations, tropical fish and vibrant marine life with your friends and family. After your final swim, climb back aboard and enjoy one last cruise across the Caribbean, soaking in the turquoise views and island breeze as you make your way back to the marina. From there, we’ll take you back to your Seven Mile Beach hotel, the Waterfront Centre for the short walk to your ship, or Cayman Falls Plaza — ending your adventure with incredible photos, Caribbean memories and plenty of stories to take home.
