Awesome experience and crew . Cobalt Custom charters was amazing again! This was our 2nd spectacular trip with their crew and a day to remember. Sting rays, star fish, snorkeling and lunch at rum point. We did it all. Crew gave a lot of cayman history which was good to learn. We will be back for another voyage !read moreread less

Best experience you can have with this team in the Caymans, they are so impressive! We have now been out with Cobalt Custom Charters 5 times over the years and they are amazing, the staff is incredible and they are first rate in the treatment of our family. They will customize your trip for the group needs which is great as my family always wants to do something different. Their boats are first rate and it is so nice being away from the big charter boats and all the people. It is a very personalized tour. I could not recommend them more highly. As they have grown over the past couple years they have not lost that personal touch. We love the team and are always excited to go back and see them.read moreread less

Amazing Evening on the Boat I want to thank you so much for this whole experience. It was nice to be able to customize the outing to what we wanted to do. Noah and Kyle were amazing captains who created an exceptional experience for us. From the minute Kyle picked us up at the hotel to the very end of the night. All of it was fantastic! We all enjoyed learning about Cayman Islands, the stingrays, the starfish, bio-Luminescent Bay and other facts they shared with us. They also calmed my nerves before holding the stingrays which I was thankful for. (E was still nervous but gave us a good laugh as it shows in the pics) Thank you also for all of the pictures you took. It was nice not to have to worry about that during the time on the boat. Kyle and Noah worked well together to make it a fun, relaxing and memorable day for our family. We will share about Cobalt with friends who visit and we will be back for sure!read moreread less

Highlight of our week. This was a great day charter and exceeded all expectations. We had a group of 11 ranging in age from 2 to 70. Everyone had a great time. Stingray City and snorkeling were outrageous!!! Not only did Travis and Graeme make it a fun day, they also made it educational and interesting. Lunch at Kaibo Bar was fantastic. The day could not have been better. Thanks guys! Hope to see you again!read moreread less

A truly awesome experience We had an absolutely amazing trip with Cobalt.A very clean,tidy,stylish and comfortable fast boat out to the Stingrays, en route Marcel and Noah gave us a very informative insight into the island and were both very knowledgable about the stingrays and marine life in these coastal waters, we were so happy to learn all that we did.
To swim and feed these friendly marine creatures was an absolute delight made all the better by Marcel and Noah’s relationship and personal in depth knowledge of these gentle stingrays— it was just the best trip ever.
We then went to Starfish Point where we saw lots of these creatures in the warm shallow waters and learnt much about their lives and habits from our guides they provided a fascinating insight into starfish life.
We finished up in Bio Bay to witness the incredible phenomena of the bioluminescence in these waters again we learnt much that we never previously knew and to witness this incredible display was fantastic.
We will definitely do this trip again before we leave the island.
A big thanks to the Cobalt crew for providing masks,towels and cold water special thanks for the wonderful Marcel and Noah for the fun,humour and information which we gratefully received.
We highly recommend this company to all future travellers it was the highlight of our holiday.

Best charter trip! Kyle and Noah were exceptional! Most of us on the charter had been to stingray city in the past, but we all agreed this was by far the best trip we had! We learned so much more about the rays and history of Grand Cayman. And our time on the charter was catered specifically to us and what we wanted to see and do. We can't thank Kyle and Noah enough for such a fantastic day! They really went the extra mile for their guests.read moreread less

They were flexible with our changes in schedule due to our cruise ship port changing, they were kind, funny, and made us comfortable and informed us of the areas visited with interesting details. It was so nice to have a boat to ourselves instead of crammed on one with a large group of people. They took amazing photos for us and we would definitely book again with them!

10/10–Cannot Recommend Enough! This was our second charter experience with Cobalt Custom Charters, and I truly cannot imagine booking with anyone else. Graeme and team are exceptional at combining fun, education, and professionalism. Booking a boat trip with kids can feel like a roll of the dice, but Kyle and Jon kept all the children engaged and in the spotlight. While our vacation has been amazing overall, CCC gave us the best part of our trip and memories to last a lifetime.
If you’re looking to book a charter experience, look no further than these guys!

Fun evening on the water Marcel & Noah were great tour guides. Our family of 6 had a great time out in the water in the evening. Left Camana Bay at 5pm for Stingray City, then off to an awesome snorkeling site, where we seen many, many colorful tropical fish, a nurse shark, lobster, and a large puffer fish. Headed over to starfish point that had a bunch of star fish. Finished the evening in bioluminescent bay. Highly recommend.read moreread less

They were helpful and knowledgeable and got everyone in the water holding stingrays with ease. Noah captured great pictures of the family as an added bonus. Our charter also included a fabulous snorkel stop over the reef, a stop at Rum Point, and starfish point. We will be back and I would definitely book with cobalt charters again. They were very easy to communicate with and get everything scheduled. I would highly recommend them.read moreread less

If you do one excursion in Grand Cayman, do this one!! There’s a reason these guys have so many 5 star reviews. We stopped at Grand Cayman as part of our Disney Cruise. Booked these guys and immediately got a text from Graeme the owner confirming our booking. On the day of the excursion we met Graeme at the Hard Rock Cafe which is a very short walk from the cruise port. From there he drove us to the boat where Andrew and John would take care of us. We had an absolutely blast! Mind you we have a 4 and a 2 year and both loved it! This was easily the best excursion we had on our 7 day cruise. We started at Starfish cove. The water was perfect and nice and shallow for the kids. They loved looking at the starfish and chasing the chickens on the beach. There were on and off thundershowers but John made sure we stayed dry and see some stingrays. Finally, they took some incredible pictures of the kids and sent them to us after the tour. The whole experience was flawless will definitely book againread moreread less

The highlights our of trip to the Cayman Islands We used Cobalt Custom Charters to do the Stingrays & snorkeling boat tour and also later in the week, the Bioluminescence boat trip. I would highly recommend them. From beginning to end, the customer service from Graeme was excellent. Our tour guides, Lars and Travis on the Day tour and Marcel on the night tour were fantastic. It was definitely worth paying a little more to just be our family of 4 and have the option to do what we wanted (2 snorkeling spots instead of Starfish point) rather than be on a boat with lots of people. The 2 boat tours were definitely the highlights of our trip. Thank you.read moreread less

Amazing private lux experience We spent an afternoon with Cobalt. They took us to an amazing snorkeling location, after that, we took a quick break for drinks at kaibo, then to starfish point where we chilled and waited for stingray city crowds to thin out. We finished the afternoon swimming with and feeding the stingrays. They are very conscious of the wildlife and gave us tips to enjoy everything without harming the environment. The guys, at my request, took the boat nice and slow so my daughter would not get freaked out. I can not express how great the guys were, it was like being on the water with old friends. It did not cost much more than going on a big tour, and the attention to detail and friendly service was worth every penny. They answered all my emails, took all my calls, and made sure we were all set to have a great experience. 5 were in party, did not feel cramped on the boat. This was our second trip to GC and this was the best part of both trips. Cheers guys, and congrats on running a great business.

We have been to Stingray City several times in the past, but they were, by far, the best we have had! Tattoo was awesome and we all enjoyed interacting with her! Our next stop was snorkeling close to Rum Point! It was excellent, and lots of beautiful fish were seen! Our third stop was touring the mangroves! The information that Marcel gave us was great.lots of new info! I would highly suggest this company for your private tour needs!read moreread less

Exceptional Customer Service We were in Grand Cayman during a week that the island was experiencing unusually strong winds and rough water and unfortunately we had to cancel our reservation with Cobalt Custom Charters as the weather did not improve enough for us to go. However, I still felt I should write a review to highlight the exceptional customer service and communication we received from the company. They kept us informed every day of the weather and tried each day to reschedule our trip. They were so apologetic about having to cancel and they issued a full refund. We will definitely book with them next time we're in Grand Cayman!read moreread less

Great Grand Cayman excursion! You get a privately planned trip with owners that know the area. And being from Canada they were super friendly! After we left the boat we went to wait for the taxi that Graeme called for us. He noticed that were were still waiting for longer than the taxi company told him. He came up and called for us again.

Luxurious catamaran in the Caymans My husband and I had a wonderful trip with Cobalt Custom Charters on their very spacious catamaran. The boat was perfect for a relaxing day on the water. The crew was very accommodating and even provided towels and refreshments, squid to feed the stingrays and a whole digital photo album documenting our trip on the boat. The catamaran was so comfortable with two lavatories on board and a lovely netted lounge area at the front of the boat where you can lay over the water. We will absolutely be sailing with Cobalt on our next trip to the Caymans!read moreread less

Great trip!! We had an amazing tour with John and Kyle! We saw stingray city, starfish point, stoped for a great beach dinner and then visited the bio bay. From the minute they picked us up until they dropped us back off the attention to detail was outstanding. We are a family of 5 with 3 girls ages 9, 14, & 16. They have varying degrees of bravery and Kyle and John helped each of them in exactly the right way. They didn’t even complain about the teenage girl music the girls played on the boat :)read moreread less

Go with Cobalt! This was an incredible experience! Graeme and Travis took us on a four hour adventure. A private charter made Stingray City extra special! We were able to have extra one-on-one time with the stingrays while educated by Travis. We went to snorkel at two locations, stopped by Rum Point for a drink and then ended the tour at Starfish Point. The cost of a charter boat is well worth your money for the personalized experience! These two men have a fabulous business. They quickly responded to all questions prior to the trip and made the experience seamless! I highly recommend and will be back again!read moreread less

Brilliant Experience with Colbalt Charters Can’t say enough about the whole experience from booking, to pick up to private charter. We were a family of 5 Marcel and Kyle were amazing, informative, interesting, funny and so knowledgable on sea life. The stingray tour was brilliant you can’t miss that tour!! I would most definitely encourage you book Colbalt Charters without a doubt one of the best. They will definitely see us on our next visit to Cayman.

Cobalt Charters = 5 stars Lars and Marcel took great care of us out on the water. Just bring your swimsuit and they handle the rest. If you love snorkeling and learning about the waters surrounding Grand Cayman, then Cobalt Charters is for you! The highlight of our afternoon was a sunset feed of stingrays (they don’t sting lol) far offshore on a natural sandbar created by a gap in the reef. Highly recommend Cobalt Charters!read moreread less

A duo of "up-and-comers" about to take the Caymans by storm My family and I were scheduled for a snorkel tour at stingray city, rum point and starfish point. We all could not have been more impressed with the natural beauty of the locations. Graeme and Travis masterfully navigated us around some tricky storms and they took us to a charming restaurant for lunch. Graeme and Travis answered any question we could possibly ask them and they were extremely professional yet very personable. The highlight of our trip though was when Graeme and Travis helped me conquer my long fear of stingrays and I got to fully enjoy and interact with these animals. Graeme and Travis are a top-notch duo who will help anyone appreciate the natural wonders that the Caymans have to offerread moreread less

Fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Relaxing, informative, and knowledgeable crew! First things first: Kyle and Noah are like brothers from another mother, jibing and jabbing and oh so much fun! Great patter and knowledgeable response to questions. This was a great, I means GREAT afternoon on and on the water!
Stingray beach - Held, fed, and yes kissed a stingray!
Snorkeling - amazing sea life, no rush, clean and well maintained gear (and plenty of towels).
Starfish Beach - large and small, and ALWAYS making sure we were keeping the marine life safe!
Honestly, these guys have the best job in the world, and they share it all with you! (Kyle was heading off to the Bioluminescent Bay later this evening will have to catch that next time).

Our whole family agrees that this was the highlight of our trip! I highly recommend them!!!

AMAZING I can not say enough positive things about this entire trip. From the moment it was booked the communication from Graeme was on point! No question left unanswered. Travis was such a polite, knowledgeable and courteous driver. Lars and Marcel were the absolute best guides ever! Our family of 4 adults did Stingray City, Snorkeling and Starfish Cove. We were able to feed, hold and pet the stingrays. We had Pancake (the stingray) all to ourselves so we got to hold and feed her multiple times. Went to a more secluded snorkeling area that the larger groups could not get too, which provided us with amazing coral and fish. At Starfish Cove we sat and held the starfish with barley anyone else around. Lars and Marcel are super friendly, knowledgeable and so down to earth. They made our time with them fly by. Spend the extra money you will NEVER regret it!! My adult boys (20 and 22) said this was the best ship excursion we have ever done!! Their recommendation for lunch at Rackam's did not disappoint either. Thank you Cobalt Custom Charters for helping to create such lasting memories for us!! If we are ever back in Grand Cayman we will 100% be back on the boat with you!read moreread less

Before booking, I hesitated about the cost and nearly just booked an excursion with our cruise line. As I watched folks on larger boats and looked at the smiles on my family’s faces, I was so glad I trusted my instincts and put us in Cobalt’s hands - it was worth every penny.

Amazing fun for the whole family! Our family had an absolutely fantastic time with Cobalt Custom Charters! Kyle and Noah were outstanding, making our adventure unforgettable. We have four kids aged 10, 8, 4, and 1, and they all had a blast, thanks to their exceptional care and attention.Our trip included visits to Stingray City, Starfish Point, and a snorkeling spot. At each location, Kyle and Noah were in the water with us, helping with the kids and ensuring everyone was safe, having fun, and comfortable. Their focus on safety and comfort was evident throughout the entire experience, which we greatly appreciated as parents.
Stingray City was an incredible experience. Kyle and Noah guided us through interacting with the stingrays, making sure our kids felt safe and excited. At Starfish Point, they helped our children explore and discover the starfish, making it a fun and educational stop. Their expertise, friendly demeanor, and enthusiasm made the trip seamless and enjoyable. It was clear that they love what they do, and their passion made our experience even more special.
Cobalt Custom Charters provided a 5-star experience that exceeded our expectations. There’s no better way to experience the sights of Grand Cayman than with Kyle and Noah. We highly recommend them and can’t wait for our next adventure with them!

Floating Birthday and Rays My husband booked a 1/2 day tour with Cobalt for my 60th. We had 4, my 2 adult sons and hubs and I. I cannot express how much fun this day was. Marcel and Lars were perfect hosts and so incredibly knowledgeable about the stingrays, reefs and other locations we visited. Every ray had a name and a story. It was a bit rough so after SRC and snorkeling at the reef, we opted for calmer waters. We visited Rum Point and were so lucky the Pirates Grill Wing boat was there and we got the last dozen wings, delish! We then cruised through the calm mangrove forest and again, Marcel is a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much. Somehow my husband missed the photos that Lars sent the next day and we just opened. How awesome to have a personal photographer with you all day too! Can’t recommend enough. We usually opt for a private tour and this is why! Thank you for making our day so memorable!read moreread less

Graeme & Travis made sure to fit in all of the activities our adventurous family loves! They took us first to Stingray City. We learned how to interact with & hold the stingrays. The boys had a blast!! And even though I’d been very reluctant at first, I even held one. It was truly unforgettable!Then, we stopped to snorkel around the reef. Beautiful!
After this our 14-year-old wake-boarded followed by some fishing for our 11-year-old requested. : )
Graeme & Travis were wonderful tour guides ~ they took us to grab a bite to eat at Kaibo before returning. This beachside restaurant/bar was the perfect way to end the trip with awesome food & drinks!
Oh & throughout the day Graeme was even snapping pictures of our family to send us ~ a true added bonus to capture these priceless moments.
We highly recommend contacting Cobalt Custom Charters if you’re ever in Grand Cayman! We can’t wait to return ... Cheers until next time!
Thanks again guys!

Weather can’t hold this group down Excellent! 10 out of 10! Customer service remarkable. Kyle and Noah were friendly, fun, personable, and knowledgeable. The weather tried to spoil our outing but with this wonderful team the weather did not succeed. The winds were tough and created difficult boating and swimming conditions. We opted to tough out the winds and we are so glad we did. We were unable to safely swim with the Stingrays but were able to enjoy starfish point and Kaibo for lunch. It was a great day and truly Kyle and Noah made it such. Don’t consider any other group. This is the group you want to go with time and time again! Thanks for a fantastic day!read moreread less

Worth every penny! What a great experience and ride, Lars and Andrew were great, from the moment they picked-us-up at the hotel, through all the sites they took us to drop-off back in the hotel. If you are in doubt wether the bot tour is worth the money, please take my word for it, IT’S TOTALLY WORTH IT! Snorkeling at Rum Point was, to me, the best part of the day. It’s one of the most beautiful places I have ever dived in. Thank you guys. We’ll definitely be coming back.read moreread less

Best Part of our trip Hands down, the best part of our vacation was the snorkeling trip. Jonathan and Andrew were excellent guides and hosts. They had great knowledge of the sea life and the area. We went snorkeling with stingrays and atwo other snorkeling spots during our private half-day trip. Don't hesitate to book this if you're looking for a private snorkeling trip! In addition, booking was easy and was picked up and dropped off promptly.read moreread less

Must try! Noah and Kyle were fun, informative, friendly and made our experience very special! The stingray experience was totally different and Kyle was so good in explaining details. Noah took great pictures and we loved seeing them. We hit rain on the way back but they made even rain like one of the kind experiences! Highly recommend this excursion to anyone who visits Cayman!read moreread less

Must-do boating activity while in Grand Cayman We had 3 couples out for an evening cruise, stop at starfish point and bioluminescence bay in March on a birthday trip. The boat was great, the crew was knowledgeable, the pick and drop off service was flexible and accommodating and we had a great time. Would recommend!read moreread less

Amazing Experience I am not one to write reviews but felt compelled to share the wonderful experience. Graeme and Travis are one of a kind. They were knowledgeable, sweet, fun and made us feel safe at all times. My husband and teenagers (16 & 14) had an unforgettable experience swimming and kissing the stingrays, snorkeling and chillin with starfish! We stopped for lunch at Kaibo beach bar (absolutely gorgeous). This excursion was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend using Cobalt Custom Charters. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

5 STAR PRIVATE CHARTER This was an unbelievable experience and beyond our expectations! Cobalt Custom Charters kept in excellent communication from the time we booked our excursion to the start of it! Very accommodating! Our guides Marcel and Noah were so knowledgeable, friendly and interactive with our family getting everyone involved, we loved spending the afternoon with them! Stingray City Sandbar was breathtaking! Learning all about these amazing creatures you just simply fell in love with them, especially with Tattoo with her kisses! Snorkeling at Coral Garden near Rum Point was beautiful and while on the boat ride, Marcel and Noah pointed out Sea Turtles and even a Nurse Shark so we could view! Our final stop was Starfish Point where we learned and held these slow crawlers which are amazing in their own right! Even found a few jellyfish!We definitely will be returning customers next time we're back in Grand Cayman! Thank you for making one of the best days of our lives!!

Absolutely Awesome! Travis and Graeme are safe, attentive, knowledgeable and fun. With such a large group, they did a headcount every time we got back in the boat. All the kids held and/or kissed stingrays at Stingray City. They held the world’s slowest competition amongst the starfish at starfish point. They were able to see all the colorful fish of a big aquarium up close and personal while snorkeling. I would (and will) recommend the Cobalt Tour company to everyone who asked.read moreread less

Amazing experience! From the great (and fast) communication with Graeme to the actual adventure an all around amazing time! Lars & Noah were welcoming & informative. It is clear they are passionate about what they do, and wanted us to have a wonderful, memory filled adventure. With some weary kids & adults, they jumped right in to Stingray City, making sure we were completely comfortable with these pups of the sea! Handling the wildlife with respect and care, and ensuring all had an amazing time- these are lifelong memories!read moreread less

4 Hour cruise Stingrays, snorkling, bio bay Had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend going late in the day when the crowds have cleared out. The guys were great and we went at our pace. They were informative and knew exactly where to go to get the BEST snorkel experience. They also took us to a great restaurant that was not at Rum point so it was significantly better!read moreread less

One of the most MAGICAL days of our lives We booked this excursion with Cobalt Custom Charters after reading the reviews with hopes there was a kernel of truth included. The reviews were accurate. The pre-excursion interaction was quick and easy. Graeme went so far as to reach out to repeat clients to see if they could adjust their timing to allow us to meet our cruise ship window. Graeme picked us up & drove us to the boat and he was just as nice in person. The boat was very clean and well stocked. The crew consisted of Marcel & Noah. They could not have been any nicer, more professional, any friendlier, or more accommodating. The first stop was Stingray City after a briefing from Marcel on what to expect and what to do and not to do we jumped in the water and quickly were surrounded by stingrays. Noah instructed us on how to feed them and Marcel patiently helped us hold, kiss, dance, and feed multiple rays including his favorite Tattoo. The entire experience so far exceeded our expectations that we could only term it as “magical”! Our second stop was Rum Point where Marcel led us to his favorite spot where there was hundreds of fish, many species of parrot fish which were identified by Marcel, trumpet fish, a stingray. We were very excited to see a massive school of princess parrot fish that moved as one and went from coral to coral feeding. We followed this group for quite a while completely entranced. The variety of fish and coral we encountered was nothing short of spectacular. All too soon our day came to an end. We are experienced travelers and snorkelers and we agreed this is one of the best days we have had, as well as, one of the best excursion experiences of our life. Our thanks to the entire crew for providing us such a treasured memory. We will be seeing y’all again!!read moreread less

Top Notch Experience My husband, daughter and I used Cobalt Blue Custom Charter on our cruise stop to Grand Cayman. They picked us up at our pre-arranged time exactly on-time and drove us to the boat. Everything about our adventure was absolutely perfect. There was a cooler of ice and water and the boat was clean and ready for us immediately. We were on our way and headed out for our first stop, Sting Ray City. Marcel's knowledge about the Sting Rays was notable and he knew one particular ray that kept swimming near us. Marcel was truly bothered to see that this ray was recently injured. Marcel had a genuine heart of compassion for the marine life. This compassion put us ease and he made sure we had had positive interactions with the rays. Our daughter was nervous about feeding the rays and Marcel offered solutions so even though she was uncomfortable that she still had a pleasant and personalized encounter. Each of us got to feed and hold and touch these amazing sea creatures.
Our next stop was to snorkel off Rum Point. We were suited up and on our way.
We were the only boat and snorkel group for miles, and it made for just a fantastic experience. Marcel was in the water guiding us, but he let us set the tone and roam as we wished. There were lots of very colorful fish to see. Noah manned the boat and towed us back to the boat at the end of our snorkel which was appreciated in this rough water day.
Our final stop was to Starfish Beach. Marcel found and safely brought us each our own starfish to interact with. We learned all sorts of interesting things and this was such a fun stop on our tour.
Both Noah and Marcel were just amazing. We learned so much and we were showed how to safely and respectfully interact with all the sea life. They made us feel at home and comfortable and it is obvious that we were not just a boat passenger but that they wanted our vacation to be the best it could be. This was such a great experience that I honestly feel that it played a part in our daughter feeling confident in jumping into the Blue Hole in Jamaica the following all based on how Marcel was able to put her at ease. She felt safe and in good hands and this feeling carried over to our next day's adventure.
We had Cobalt Blue booked for our 2020 cruise that I cancelled just prior to the pandemic that was promptly refunded so booking them once again for our 2023 cruise was an easy decision.
On a side note-the boat had music and at one point the song lyrics got a little dicey for our daughter and as I lounged out all relaxed on our way back to the pier at the front of the boat I debated asking for a station change and before I even had a chance to speak up they switched it as if reading my mind. A small detail but just one small example of our whole day with Cobalt Blue.
From start to finish our entire experience with all staff was exceptional in every way.

Private boat charter with family and kids Highly recommend Cobalt Charters. Excellent experience on a 3hr private charter to Stingray City, Rum Point Snorkeling, and Starfish Point. Our group consisted of two children (2&5yo), two 30yo's, and four 60yo's. Johnny & Kyle made sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and having fun. They were extremely knowledgeable of the island and wildlife. Very informative and memorable experience we won't forget. They took extra care to make sure our 5yo was comfortable enough to hold and feed the stingrays. For what it's worth, they also gave us a refund during COVID when we had to cancel our trip and Graeme is very responsive to email with. Would definitely book with them again.read moreread less

Fantastic experience! Don't think twice, Cobalt is the right choice. My husband and I went to Grand Cayman for the first time, and since it was a short trip, we decided to take a private tour and do all key attractions at once. Marcel and Johnny were incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun. They truly love what they do - seeing Marcel play with the stingrays made us so comfortable around them. Johnny took some great pictures and showed us the race of the starfish and how they can flip, so cool.
The boat was great, and Marcel and Johnny made everything look so easy and fun we didn't even mind the bad weather. We can't wait to come back and bring our children to see the stingrays and do the bio bay with these guys. Highly recommend them!

The entire team is so fun and friendly, interacted great with our kids, were informative and made our experience one we will never forget.

Fantastic morning My family of 4 just returned from an outstanding morning with Cobalt Custom Charters. We spent last Friday am with Lars and Marcel who were excellent hosts and crew. Going to stingray city and snorkeling on a private boat is a much better way to interact with the stingrays and they put you on some excellent secluded snorkeling locations. Both provided useful information about the local area, flora, and fauna. Drinks are provided although we brought a few extra snacks ourselves. Lars took many wonderful photos that were sent via email a day or two later. The pickup and transfer from the hotel was seamless. I would definitely recommend this excursion and will try to go again next time in Cayman.read moreread less
