Stingray City

Throughout the ins and outs and ups and downs of island life, this company has managed to excel for the last 50 years. Started by the man who "discovered" Stingray City, the company is still family owned, and although the founder is now retired, he often will board the boat and regale his guests with tales of life in Cayman's earlier days.

You'll board a cabin cruiser for the trip to three perfect snorkel sites: The famous Stingray City sandbar for interacting with the stingrays in waist-deep water, the Barrier Reef, and Coral Gardens. 

At Stingray City, you can enjoy having the stingrays swim around you or you can don your snorkel and get a little more up close and personal. Food for the stringrays is provided so you can experience the feeling of them grabbing the goodies with their mouths on the underside of their body as they swim over your hand. 

Your second snorkeling stop is the gorgeous Barrier Reef. Here you will snorkel in waters 8-10ft. deep inhabited by nurse sharks and moray eels as well as beautiful coral and thousands of fish.

Your final snorkel destination is Coral Gardens, a cluster of coral formations which is home to thousands of fish and a few stingrays. 

You'll take a break at the beach of the lovely Kaibo Yacht Club, where lunch is served. In season, from November 1- March 31, you will also have the opportunity to participate in a "conch dive". The conch will be served marinated as an appetizer with a full lunch to follow (we promise everything else will be cooked!). The mahi-mahi, steamed plantain, coconut bread, rice, potato and tossed salad lunch is said to be worth the price of admission alone!
