Must Do In Cayman! I can't say enough about Cobalt Charters. We were traveling with two families with a total of eight people all teenage daughters. We booked the bio tour one evening and the four hour stingray city tour a couple of days later. Bio tour - one of the coolest things we have ever seen and Marcel was our captain. Great guy who took care of everything. We highly recommend this trip. Stingray city - awesome morning with John and Andrew leading this excursion. Both guys were very personable and knowledgeable, and just like Marcel took care of anything we could think of. You can tell customer service is a priority with this company and it shows with everyone you meet. Starting with Graeme. He took care of all the bookings and was very responsive answering all my questions before and during our time at Cayman. I honestly can't imagine any other charter being better than our experience, and I recommend them to anyone wanting to enhance their Cayman vacation. Marcel, John, and Andrew, thanks for two fun trips and taking care of our daughters! They had a blast.read moreread less

Best Charter Company Cobalt Charters is the best! They were super accommodating, full of knowledge, and creating such a fun experience. We ended up taking out 2 boats to biobay for my family and friends coming for our wedding, and Marcel took the best care of us. Highly recommend going with this charter! Marcel is the bestread moreread less

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

Best day ever! Truly an incredible experience - Our hosts, Noah & Kyle were so much fun to spend the day with - they asked what we wanted to do and delivered the perfect experience for our family! We started at Stingray City, traveled to Rum Point for an amazing snorkeling experience and finished off the day at Starfish Point. The private charter was key in giving us the opportunity to do exactly what we were interested in, and provided such a wonderful overall experience for our family. We truly had the best day ever. Thank you Kyle and Noah, and thank you to Graeme for setting everything up for us.read moreread less

Explore Grand Cayman wildlife by sea We took a couples voyage out on a private charter on a nice and comfortable Cobalt bowrider. Our captain Jonny and first mate Luka made for an enjoyable experience sharing their knowledge of the history of the places visited and how to safely interact with the wildlife. We visited Stingray city and were able to hold, feed and kiss a very cooperating stingray (whom was pregnant). The rays were not aggressive and provided a great memory. We then visited a reef area to snorkel and see coral and native fish. They provided the gear and gave instructions to protect the wildlife. Our last stop was at Starfish point and got to see the up close and learn how they move, feed and see (kind of). We did BYOB and got to play our music between stops. Captain was very accommodating and got to see the sunset on the way back to the dock. This is a must do experience when visiting Grand Cayman. Communication with the reservation team was top notch.read moreread less

Awesome times! The best experience ever. The boat is fantastic and well maintained. Graeme and Travis were a amazing and took us places so that we could avoid the crowds. They are experts with Stingrays and are able to get them to come to the boat. You will have an amazing time when you charter this boat. I was told it's the best boat and crew on the island by our hotel concierge. Have fun on your tour!read moreread less

What an exceptional charter! Booking was easy, communication was fantastic, and the charter itself was absolutely perfect. Steve (our captain) picked us up on time and took us to the dock where we met our first mate Ferrick. I couldn't have picked a better pair of people to take us on our 4 hour charter if I tried. We first stopped at Stingray City (of course), then a little snorkeling at the reef, then off to see the starfish (so very cool), and finally a trip through the mangroves. At every single stop, Ferrick was a walking encyclopedia of entertaining information that made each experience even better. Both he and Steve added so much more to the charter just by being themselves. I've booked many charters in many locations, but this one was my favorite. I highly recommend Cobalt.read moreread less

A Perfect Grand Cayman Day These Cobalt Custom Charters guys really know how to deliver on their promises. Holding stingrays at Stingray City, the starfish at Starfish Point, reef snorkeling, relaxing and enjoying a couple cold ones while cruising in the laid back luxury and comfort of their amazing boat, the adrenalin rush as Travis leaned on the throttle. (Merisash is one fast, smooth boat.) The late afternoon cruise was timed just right to see a spectacular sunset and then, within minutes, the rise of the full moon. A perfect Grand Cayman day. If you're visiting Grand Cayman I recommend you book your boat adventure with Cobalt Customer Charters, simply the best. They treated us like family. Professional personalized service and attention to detail, lots of laughs, and unwavering respect for nature. Memories for a lifetime and pictures to prove it. We’ll be back!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

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

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

Amazing Day- Highlight of our trip! We had the best time on our private boat charter with our captains Marcel and Lars! (It was also a breeze booking and communicating with the owner, Graeme, before the trip.)We had a party of 4 with 2 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 10. Marcel picked us up in a nice van at our hotel and even made a stop for us at a convenience store on the way so we could pick up a few things. The boat was already stocked with towels, bottled waters and ice and had room for us to throw our drinks and snack in the cooler too. Once on the boat, we had an amazing time at Stingray City, starfish point and Marcel also gave us a guided snorkeling tour of the reef and we saw so many cool fish. It was so much fun!!! We also stopped at Rum Point for some drinks and lunch.
We loved it so much we tried to book another day with them during our stay, but unfortunately they were booked already! They also sent us over 250 pictures that they took of our family- there were some amazing shots of us under the water that we never would have been able to get with our phones.
This was the highlight of our time in Cayman! We will definitely be back and book again with Cobalt!

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

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

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

Great family adventure feeding the stingrays, snorkeling and holding starfish Our grand daughter was going on her first snorkeling trip and, as we all know, if kids hate something the first time they pretty much are never going to do it again. So we researched who had great reviews working with kids and selected Cobalt. Graeme and Travis made it a fun adventure feeding and holding the stingrays, snorkeling in a beautiful spot that wasn't too deep it would freak out the kiddo but deep enough it had lots of fish. I swear the part she liked the most was holding the starfish and watching them slowllllyyy move. Thanks guys for making sure we will have many more snorkeling/ocean adventures with the family.read moreread less

Best experience on the island.... Book it! Book this now! I don't write reviews; this is my first ever. I was compelled to do so because our trip with Cobalt was so great! Everyone is professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Graeme made the scheduling easy and, along with our two captains, Marcel & Jaco, we were able to completely tailor the trip to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Our captains were informative about everything on the island and made sure we had everything we needed. We stopped at a couple of beach bars, watched the sunset at Starfish Point, snorkeled in Bio Bay (which was amazing), etc. You can customize your trip however you like. My wife accidentally left her watch on the boat and Graeme was kind enough to personally deliver it back to our hotel the next day. We had a blast all day with Jaco and Marcel on the boat... great guys! I can't say enough good things about the entire crew. We will be back to Grand Cayman and another tour with Cobalt will be the first thing we book!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

VERY COOL TRIP! We had a phenomenal trip to Stingray City, and Starfish Point! It was the cutest thing seeing how tame the stingrays are, and our guide even knew one by name! They were friends! Excellent guides, and the icing on the cake were the photos they sent to us the next day! It was so nice and thoughtful of them to take the pics, and send them in a professional manner. They were on time, 100% polite and accommodating, and very clean boat!!! They even put our shoes in a crate to keep the boat very clean. 100% recommendations to this company!

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

Best part of our trip to Grand Cayman I had neglected to book any activities before we came to Grand Cayman and was disappointed to find almost everything sold out. I found Cobalt Custom Charters by chance....it was the best meant to be! From the moment we stepped on the boat Travis and Graeme made us feel like family...they are so personable and we enjoyed spending our 5 hour charter with them. They took us to Starfish Point and made sure my kids got to see and hold starfish. We then went to Stingray City in the late afternoon and we were the only people out there as all the other operators were gone for the day. We spent about an hour swimming with 30-40 stingrays and got to feed them. It was fantastic!!! But the day wasn't done yet...we headed over to Kaibo Yacht Club for a quick dinner (yum!) while we waited for the sun to set. When the sun started going down we headed for the Bioluminescent Bay. The guys provided us with snorkel equipment and flotation devices to swim in the bay (it is only about 5 feet deep) with the billions of dinoflagellates lighting up as we disturbed them. It was one of the coolest things we ever did. I had a list of things I wanted to do on this trip and Cobalt Custom Charters helped me do most of them....bucket list checked off! We enjoyed this charter so much that we booked them later in the week for some reef fishing, which was also fantastic! They were so good with our family and especially my 6 year old son. My boys are still talking about this trip. I recommend this company 100% and the next time we come back to Grand Cayman we will be back on this boat!read moreread less

Memories My Children Will Never Forget! We do not typically write reviews but felt we had to as the adventure that Graeme and Travis provided was one of the best experiences we have ever had. We have been on several charters all were good but nothing like C3 (Cobalt Custom Charters) . We felt safe while having fun at Stingray City, Snorkeling, Star Fish Point, and even at night at the Bio Bay which offered an experience we will never forget. Graeme and Travis are knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable adventure. We cannot wait to book with them again! If you are thinking about a charter, it is a no brainer, think no more and book with C3 and sit back, relax and enjoy the experience they provide.Maiorino Family

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.

Absolutely Awesome Half Day Charter: Stingrays, Starfish, Snorkeling! Our family of six booked a three-hour Cobalt Custom Charter to Stingray City and Starfish Point as well as snorkeling in the reef. It was outstanding! Graeme consistently communicated with us once the booking was made, gave us updates on the weather, and was extremely helpful with transportation. Since we arrived on a cruise ship, we booked Cobalt for the transport to the boat. Travis was waiting for us and extremely friendly, providing insight on Grand Caymen and Georgetown. Upon our arrival to the boat, we met Kyle and Noah. They were the perfect blend of sea captains, historians, naturalists, and cool people with whom to spend a half day. We instantly connected with them and appreciated how they made us feel comfortable among the stingrays and other sea life. They even enjoyed our daughters' mix of music! Our only wish was that we had booked four hours instead of three. This was the highlight of our trip! We highly recommend this charter.read moreread less

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

Best charter in the Caymans My sister and I went to Bio Bay to see the amazing bioluminescent plankton. Steve was our guide. He picked us up at our hotel and he was so knowledgeable and explained everything really well. We are both seniors and he was very kind and helpful. He even took photos for us. We thought he was awesome and we quite enjoyed his British accent! The owner of the charter company was very quick to respond to all of our inquiries. We had a wonderful time and if you chose this company you will be very pleased!read moreread less

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

Amazing Cayman Boat Trip We had an amazing time on an afternoon boat trip (3-8 pm) with Cobalt. Kyle and Jon were two of the best boat captains we’ve had on a private charter experience. Kyle tracked down a stingray and gave our family an incredible stingray interaction. Jon gathered several starfish for us at Starfish Point and provided interesting facts on starfish life. The bioluminescence bay was one of the most unique and incredible experiences of our lives. Cobalt also took great pictures for our family as part of the price - no upcharge! Highly recommended and well worth the price! Would definitely use Cobalt again!read moreread less

Outstanding Charter Service My family and I had an outstanding time on the water with Cobalt Charters. We booked a half day for our family of six (2 parents, 1 grandparent, and 3 children). It was without a doubt the best experience we had on the island. I researched a number of charter services on the island and am very glad we went with Cobalt. They were the most responsive of all the charter services to my email inquiries before booking, and they worked with us to customize the trip so that it had something for everyone in the family. From beginning to end, Graeme and Travis were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them and look forward to using them again on our next trip to Grand Cayman.read moreread less

Best day on the water This charter for our family of four was the highlight of our trip. Kyle and Noah went above and beyond to ensure a perfect afternoon on the water. 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

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

Great times has by all! We opted to take a private charter instead of one of the big group ones the cruise ship offered. The owner was very good at communicating prior to our arrival and the day of too. Marcel and Noah, the crew on the boat, were awesome! They took us to the three spots we wanted to go and each one they explained/shared details of where we were. They also shared information about the island. We were a party of eight with three adults, four teens and an 11 yo who all had a good time! I would definitely recommend this vendor.read moreread less

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

Grand Cayman MUST DO! 5 stars isn’t enough! Not one complaint. Crew were amazing and knowledgeable even with a 2 and 5 year old on board. So much more than just a 3 hour charter.

Amazing family boat trip of a lifetime with Marcel and Noah We booked a boat tour for our first evening in CI with Cobalt. Family with 3 daughters ages 12, 17 with Down Syndrome, and 19-- and 3 80+year old grandparents. I had several very thorough emails from Graeme before our arrival-- and updates on the conditions as we got closer. He explained the best day to see the Bioluminsence Bay related to the full moon-- so we booked it. We met our captain Marcel and his crew Noah at Camana Bay at 5pm for our four hour trip which included stops at Stingray City, the reef for some snorkeling, Starfish Beach, and Bio Bay. Marcel was so knowledgeable -- taught us so much about the rays and the star fish and the area. It was a joy. They took really good care of us. They told us as we boarded that Bio Bay was not glowing as brightly recently-- and offered to adjust our trip last minute with refund of an appropriate portion of the price, but we decided to see whatever we could. The trip was the highlight of everyone's week. Noah took about 300 photos of our family on the trip which they sent to us the next day-- photos of us feeding the rays, holding the rays, and even kissing the rays. It was educational, fun, and an adventure. We would do it again with Cobalt in a heartbeat. Even our grandmother who was pretty terrified of the open ocean and the boat loved it and felt safe with Marcel and Noah who kept things moving on our trip. We felt in great hands. When we needed another recommendation for diving later, they were quick to respond with multiple excellent suggestions.read moreread less

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

Outstanding experience Our hotel concierge sent us several recommendations for private charter companies. I read reviews for each and was surprised there wasn't a single negative review for Cobalt. How can one company make every single guest happy? Well, I'm here to write another positive review. We spent the day with Lars and Marcel who exceeded our expectations. They were patient with our daughters who were a bit hesitant to swim with the stingrays and initially struggled with the snorkel gear. They blew us away with their knowledge of the marine life and ecosystem. Their love and passion for what they do is evident and it truly made our time with them the best day of our vacation. Thank you for an incredible experience our family will never forget.read moreread less
