Reviews
Family of 5 with teen, preteen,toddlerSandra_M
This experience was the highlight of our trip! I never imagined the stingrays to be that big and they were very friendly and eager to get on you! The tour guides were all very friendly and made sure everyone had a chance to experience or take pictures. Next was the starfishes which my toddler enjoyed the most just make sure you always keep the starfish UNDER the water! Then we finished with the caves. They were so beautiful and loved to hear our tour guides personal childhood stories when he explored the caves! But I do recommend to pack comfortable shoes and bring plenty of cold water or a fan because it is super humid in the caves we were all dying at the end. But still a fun memorable experience!
Nice afternoon excursion.MESTT
Nathan was a funny and knowledgeable guide. He got all the family engaged for the whole time. He was also a very good and patient photographer :). The caves are beautiful and we got to see several bat families resting (thank God!).
They canceled on me and Refund NIGHTMAREAlleyMichele_M
I get an email saying they canceled due to low attendance and I have to fight to get my money back, it should automatically be refunded!
Last minute cancel by tour operatorStephen_W
Viator let me book the tour and then the tour operator cancelled the late afternoon the day before saying this tour is not offered on Sunday. Left me hanging to find a new excursion and still haven’t returned my money yet.
HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!Jobiggs24
HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!! I rarely write negative reviews but I booked this for my family because it was listed as Stingrays, Starfish AND Crystal Caves. It does state in the fine print that crystal caves are only available Friday and Saturday but it appears to be intentionally deceptive. There was no option to choose between the two choices. We didn't realize until the morning of our tour that the caves weren't included. MAJOR BUMMER especially because there are cheaper tours that we saw without the caves but we opted for this tour because it appeared to include the caves. They would not even entertain the idea of a partial refund. The staff was friendly and inviting on the tour but we didn't receive what we thought we booked. They should definitely label the tour appropriately and not have users comb through fine print to discover the caves aren't included.
Diastrous admin and organisation.dstevens7
They cancelled the caves trip with less than 24 hours notice. Which was main reason for the booking. Given short notice not able to book the sting rays and starfish with anyone else. Not able to provide transport between starfish and caves which meant we couldn’t get to them even though we had been forced to buy separate tickets.
Misleading pick up location and they would not pick up from Airbnb.
They did notrecognise our booking on arrival. Took over 30mins and lots of phone calls to sort it out.
The team on the boat were amazing though. And the sting ray experience was fabulous.
What a shame the admin and booking was such a disaster.
I wonderful experienceIrisL_R
Such a wonderful experience, the staff was amazing. They really showed us a good time. I extremely recommend this tour.
Stingray city was great...Anne_C
Stingray city was great fun. All guides were knowledgeable. Only got 5 minutes at starfish point before being hurried off to caves. After caves we were dropped off at a beach not knowing what to do. Had to wait 40 min for boat to arrive to pick us up. Would have been nicer with less transfers, maybe a snack on boat like fruit.
Get the “fine print” before you commitAndrea G
Had I known there would be a couple of hours of driving and waiting involved to do the third part of the tour-the caves, we would have only done stingray city and starfish point. The guides on both were extraordinary, so this is no knock on them, but on the tour organizers. Dropping you off at Starfish Point, walk through the woods to find a driver, then ride to caves, wait for the cave operator to drive you to caves…I get that it may be part of it, but again, had I known so would have made a different decision. The worst though was being dropped off at some (not inexpensive) restaurant for 45-60 minutes to wait for a boat to pick you up?? The driver had no idea what was going on, not apparently did the wait staff at the restaurant. All very awkward and time-consuming.
Captain Marvin tourU6647FYdebbiek
Great tour. Great crew. Well organized. Captain was very knowledgeable, wife swam with the Ray's and kisses them. Great fon!!!!
Beware this is a third party provider re-selling Captain Marvin - tough communicationDreamer55272170237
The trip was fine - It's the Captain Marvin Trip. When we booked this trip, we hadn't had a hotel yet and noted this in the booking. A week later, we added the hotel and also told Cruise Port Adventures via TripAdvisor message. Despite this we were not picked up at the hotel (as advertised) and had to organize a taxi ($20) to the departure point.

Stingrays, Starfish, and Crystal CavesDAWN_M
We had an awesome excursion thanks to Captain Mike and his crew. They gave us plenty of time with the sting rays and to snorkel. They also shared so many facts about the sting rays and the starfish. We had perfect conditions which was lovely.
We then took a bus to the crystal caves. Our tour guide drove us to the caves and then made sure we met back up with a boat to take us back to the marina. He was very funny and shared many interesting facts. He also offered to take pictures which was very nice. We are sorry that we cannot remember his name but it was the tour group on 3/1/2025 at 11 am.
Captain Marvin’s tour group did an excellent job and made sure everyone was safe and returned to their destinations. Would definitely take another tour from them again!
We missed the caves, as we were leaving on a Friday, but the Stingrays & Starfish Adventure was fantastic. The crew was so welcoming, and swimming with the stingrays was an experience we’ll never forget. Starfish Point was peaceful and beautiful. A great tour for anyone visiting Grand Cayman!
We loved the stingrays...Coco_L
We loved the stingrays and so much fun .definitely recommended.
The starfish was ok ,but at least we found some.
It was a very interesting experience for first timer !
Swim with the stingrays a must. Viator great guides!BJ_W
When you go to the Caymans a swim with the stingrays is a must. The starfish were ok, the caves were a great experience. Our guides couldn’t have been better! The only downside was the stay at Rum beach was a bit too long.
