Grand Cayman
Stingray City and the reefs around it
Almost everyone who comes ashore in Grand Cayman goes to the same place, and with good reason. The Sandbar in the North Sound is a shallow patch of clear water in the middle of the lagoon where southern stingrays have gathered for generations; you stand waist-deep and they glide around and over your feet. It is genuinely unusual, and it is the anchor of every tour on this page.
What differs is what you do around it. The two-stop and three-stop trips add snorkelling at the Coral Gardens and over the Barrier Reef, where the water is shallow and the fish are used to visitors. The catamaran version trades speed for shade and deck space. The starfish and cave tour combines the Sandbar with Starfish Point and the crystal caves inland, and the lunch trip builds in a meal.
Every Grand Cayman excursion is private, guided in English, and timed around your ship – important here, because Grand Cayman is a tender port. Choose your Grand Cayman tour below or ask us what fits your call.
Our Grand Cayman shore excursions center on the world-famous Stingray City sandbar.
