Charles was our boat captain, Brent was helper. Both were funny and amazing. A storm blew in after our stop at Coral Gardens, so it became very rough seas, blowing rain and chilly. They made the best of situation stopping at stingray stop and then took us to a beach where the water was warmer than the air and dove for starfish and a conch so we could see them. Charles showed how to get the conch meat out of the shell and to clean away bad parts. He then made a fresh salad with the conch, onions, peppers, etc and had us all sample on chips. It was great! Fun experience even in the storm and rain...would book again hoping for better weather.

The adventure was more than we could have hoped for. The stingrays, turtles are star fish were very fun but, Charles, the captain of the boat, and Brett, the co-captain of Just Trippin, were fabulous. Very fun and informative. This has been our best adventure yet.
An excellent team and a fantastic experience! The excursion was thoroughly enjoyable, and the highlight was definitely swimming with the stingrays. It was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time on the Stingray, Snorkeling, Starfish, and Seven Mile Beach tour. Great value for the money, excellent organization, and a friendly, fun crew that made the whole experience enjoyable. Everything was seamless, from pickup at the cruise dock, to their Yacht Drive location, the tour stops, and the return to the harbor. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely welcoming. If you're visiting Grand Cayman, this tour is an easy choice. Great service, great people, and great memories. Highly recommended!
We had a great time! Captain Sheldon was fantastic and very attentive to everyone. We were on a cruise, booked thru Viator directly and back to ship on time. Thanks again!
PHENOMENAL!! Sheldon took great care of us. The Stingray City experience was worth the entire ticket price!! We were a little disappointed that we didn't get to visit 7 Mile Beach but our tender boat had an early take off time so we ran out of hours to check it out. Over all we alll would 1000% recommend this excursion!! :)
Native Way was our company and our excursion was with Captain Sheldon. A relaxing and truly enjoyable day...no stress..held/fed stingrays and held starfish at another stop. Small group, felt care for. Definitely will choose Capt Sheldon/ Native Way again.
The entire excursion was amazing! Ronnie, Sheldon and Brent were all top notch. Everything from the pick up to the drop-off ran smoothly. These guys know what they're doing. They are very attentive and made sure everyone had a great experience. If you needed assistance they were right there. I can't think of anything they could have done better. The experience with the stingrays was the highlight for us and something we will never forget! I highly recommend this excursion.
Great experience! Excellent tour guide! The guides from the boat were very experienced. I had never fed a stingray before. Highly recommend!
Very good trip. Exciting, beautiful. Great experience for a great price. Very knowledgeable captain and crew
We had a fabulous time! We highly highly recommend it! Other excursions were offering less stops at a higher price. We picked this one bc it came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. We had a blast!
The agent who took us to the sandbar are great host especially when we landed to swim with the stingrays. He made it fun for the travelers. I will recommend them again.
We had a fabulous time with Capt Sheldon! He was very informative about the area and history of the island. He stopped so we could swim with a turtle and then they were great at Stingray City. They made it an awesome day.
Meetup was conveniently right within the cruise terminal. Not a far ride at all to the boat. Each stop felt like we had just enough time to experience it. They gave us the option to go to the last stop or skip and go back to the cruise port depending on what time we preferred to be back. The guides were awesome. We traveled with an infant in a stroller and the boat was plenty spacious to accommodate with shade provided.
This excursion was amazing. The communication between myself and Ronnie was great from the moment I booked. They were very mindful of the time and our need to get back on the cruise in time to embark. They captain of the ship Sheldon and his partner Tyrone were so cool and showed us the best time- I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience. I have not a single complaint. We all loved it
The snorkeling and stingray experience was super fun! My family and I loved it! The boat guys were wonderful as well. The major negative was too much wasted time waiting! Waiting for the entire group, then more waiting sitting on the boat for more people. We wasted at least an hour, therefore we didn't even get to seven mile beach which was supposed to be part of the tour we paid for. That was extremely disappointing!
Be sure to bring snacks and drinks. Minimal amount of water, juice and ice provided. Be prepared for delays.
Was an excellent trip!! The crew was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. The sting rays were amazing and so was the snorkeling.
Awesome! Justin and Mark were fabulous. They both were so knowledgeable about the island and the sea life. Both very friendly and entertaining. Would highly recommend!
Not enough time to do everything listed. Plan to be on boat a while and I would not bring little Kids or anyone that gets seasick. The guide was nice, safe and knowledgeable so I appreciated that! Could have just done stingrays and starfish, and then there would be enough time for the beach. If you’re on cruise, like we were, they cut short and no beach. Overall, my kids 15 and 18 have great time! Sad for the little girl who was scared and the woman who got sea sick!
Brilliant couple of hours. Snorkelling, stingray city and starfish point all brilliant spots. The boat was brilliant, only 7 of us on the boat so lots of space and the guys were amazing. So fun and great tour guides.
Highly recommend this company for boat touring. Captain Vernon was amazing great experience! He’s very detailed with information to know about the island. The owner is very helpful as well with coordinating a fun experience. Very nice boat and bring your camera they help with photos too!
Sheldon and his son SJ were great! They made sure everyone stayed hydrated with juice and water. I got stung by a jelly fish and Sheldon immediately got me some hydrocortisone cream. I would definitely do another excursion with them!
We had the best experience! Captain Vernon was so kind and took us to all the cool places and taught us about the animals/island. He took care of us so well and made the experience so much fun! You can tell he truly loves his job and was the best Captain/Tour guide!
This was a great way to see some of the beautiful places in Grand Cayman. The staff was friendly and fun! My teenage/young adult kids had a great time. We would all do this again!
We book this as our excursion from our cruise ship! It was a great way to spend the day in Grand Cayman. Picked up at the port then voided to a boat with amazing staff! First stop was snorkeling, then a quick stop to see a sea turtle, the on to the sand bar full of stingrays, next stop was starfish . The last stop was 7mile beach, we didn’t make it to the beach because of our need to be back at port for our departure time. Which was okay as all the great things and experiences we had during our adventure were worth every penny we spent! We will catch the beach next visit!
I would recommend that the two tour guides have vinegar on board as over half people got stung by jellyfish at the starfish location. Also, the driver was vaping, which a lot of people did not like, me included! They did a great job with the stingrays and taking us the beautiful locations.
It was a total blast. Our captains were so great and friendly. So knowledgeable. Had a great time for sure. Captain Sheldon is the man!
Best excursion ever. We had 15 in our family and they catered to all ages. We have 8 grandchildren ages 3-14 and they had the time of their lives. They held stingrays, starfishes, swam with sea turtles and fish. We have been on many cruises and traveled the world and this really was the best adventure. Thank you Ronnie and crew!!
Guides are very conscientious about getting you back to port on time. You take about a 30 mins boat ride out to see manta rays where you get to touch them, feed them and get photos. Then a short ride to snorkel. Snorkeling is about 30 mins before going to see starfish. Your time with the starfish is only about 15 mins but that is enough to hold several and snap pics. There are clear jellyfish in the water here and several people were stung. Our guides were prepared with vinegar spray for any stings. After the boat tour, you are taken to 7 Mile beach where you get an hour to swim, walk along the shore or grab food from some local vendors. One of the vendors was giving free samples and everything we tried was delicious. This tour allowed us to see several places and get a taste of the island. Those who have snorkeled in other parts of the world would’ve liked to have seen a larger variety of fish when snorkeling but it served as a great family adventure.
Amazing tour! Sheldon was extremely friendly and the activities were once in a lifetime. They provide water and Tampico onboard.
Great stops, lots of wildlife, awesome captains Charlie and Brent. Weather cooperated with us. Great trip!
Sheldon made this an amazing excursion! We had so much fun at each stop. Sheldon and Lee made sure we all interacted with the Stingrays. Snorkeling was fun as well as the starfish stop. Highly recommend this trip.
You are going to have a great time and not feel rushed to get back on the boat. The crew was fun and very patient.
It was a fantastic day, good group size. Our guides were so kind and respectful to the animals. They did a great job keeping everyone engaged. Sheldon and Lee gave us a wonderful experience.
Sheldon and Leland were so professional, knowledgeable and kind with our kids. They explained the expectations clearly and made sure we were safe every step of the way. Highly recommend.
Our Stingray excursion was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! We had such a great time, and the entire crew made the experience even more special. The captain and guides were incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the whole trip. They made us feel safe, welcomed, and truly taken care of. What really stood out was the transportation service they provided. The gentleman who picked us up from the hotel went above and beyond for us. He not only came to pick us up, but also helped us drop things back off at the hotel and later took us to the city and a private beach. His kindness and willingness to help made such a difference in our experience. My 9-year-old absolutely loved every moment of the excursion, especially interacting with the stingrays. Everything was very organized, fun, and professional. I highly recommend booking with these local people. They truly care about their guests and provide an unforgettable experience with such genuine hospitality. Thank you for making our trip so special!
Crew was very knowledgeable and helpful! Boat was nice. Stingrays were awesome! Saw them snorkeling, there were so many! Was so cool to be able to touch them an be in their environment. Saw tons of starfish! Then we were able to hang in the water, have a few beverages while they fixed us up some of the best ceviche!!! I would definitely recommend!
I’m so thankful to Ronnie, i booked a different date the first time and i was able cancel and he help me with my refund. The tour is fun and amazing, Captain Charles and Brett are wonderful .
I had an amazing experience on the Stingray City, Starfish Point, and snorkeling excursion. The hotel pickup was perfectly on time, which made the start of the day smooth and stress‑free. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable especially during the stingray encounter. Highlights of the Experience Stingray City: Getting up close with the stingrays was unforgettable. The guides handled everything safely and made sure everyone had a chance to interact. Starfish Point: A calm, beautiful stop where you can see starfish in shallow, crystal‑clear water. Snorkeling: Great visibility and lots of marine life. A perfect spot for beginners and experienced snorkelers. Tips for Future Travelers No water shoes allowed at Stingray City. They want to protect the stingrays, so you’ll be barefoot in the sand. Bring a waterproof case for your phone. You’ll want photos, and there’s plenty of splash potential. Sun protection is essential. The sun reflects off the water all day. Hold onto your belongings on the boat. It can get windy during the ride.
Phenomenal crew ... we had a blast! Best excursion in Cayman without a doubt. Island knowledge, funny and extremely personable. Boat was beautiful and the sights unmatched. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for family, friends and kids!
The crew on the boat were fantastic! Unfortunately, we were changed to a different boat and did not get the tour we paid for. No apologies were given and no refund adjustment for the missed stop…. Very disappointing for everyone.
This trip was really for my son, he had an amazing time, Brent and Charles were fantastic, they were welcoming and made us feel safe and entertained the entire time.
We had a short stop in Grand Cayman. We were nervous about getting back on time. We had a great time seeing the sting rays and star fish and got back to port with plenty of time.
Ronnie was wonderful to work with. It was a great day. He rearranged our tour around the weather allowing us the great experience.
An excellent shore excursion booked independently. No need to leave the port area as the excursion marquees are right there. We loved snorkeling with stingrays, fish and the coral in the beautiful clear sea. The starfish beach stop was also excellent then the swimming stingrays was fantastic. The kids loved it and the crew on board the board were excellent. Free water and non alcoholic punch on board. 7 mile Beach was a worthwhile visit also. A stunning Island and beautiful people! Book it!
Great experience for our first time on the island. Each stop was quick but it was as advertised and there was time to see starfish, stingrays, snorkel and beach. Felt very safe and everyone was very kind.
Great snorkeling and sting ray tour. Got to see all kind of sea creatures and the tour guides were very knowledgeable, answered any questions, and gave a lot of history about the island.
Great experience very nice. It's fun and stingrays were great and employees are super. Highly recommend.
Had an excellent time with sting rays that was highlight of trip, star fish point was nice but the crowd stirred up the dirt and water got merky, the snorkeling was nice too , they make sure all equipment used is sanitized for use , the staff very friendly and attentive and ask if we need anything. Juice and water was provided . They also made sure we all got to see the sting rays and touch them if we wanted . Would have loved to see the beach but due to timing we were not able to see it unfortunately.
