Fantastic experience! Great guides (Dylan and Dulce). Short bus and boat trips. Lots of time in the water to snorkel and then time to relax at the beach.
My family purchased from Anchor Tours for the Grand Cayman Singray and Starfish excursion through the Carnival ship excursion list. I'm so happy we did! The crew took great care of us, ensured we had an enjoyable Stingray and Starfish handling experience and also took excellent pics! Manuella was our guide and is fantastic1 We highly recommend this business!
This was probably my favorite cruise excursion I have Ever done. Absolutely amazing. Swam with the stingrays at Stingray City. The experience was incredible and the excursion extremely organized. As a small group we interacted in the water with the Stingray. Each person was able to feed and interact with the stingrays individually as well. The crew took many pictures, and for a very reasonable fee, I was emailed a group of pictures that included me holding the Stingray and even kissing it!
They were amazing !!!!The whole day was great. We would definitely do it again. The three men went above and beyond to make sure everyone on the trip had fun.
Booked our our though Carnival Horizon and had a great experience with our Dulce(?) and guide Yan as well as boat captain Elvis. We Lear a lot about the stingrays, had a super lunch and enjoyed holding starfish. Again a great experience.
Captain Erik and his team went above and beyond to make sure we all got to hold a stingray. He was very attentive to our boat passengers.
Kevin, Oscar, and Denny were amazing with the Stingray swim from Carnival Pride Nov 14th tour!!! Wonderful, funny and great bunch of guys. Very good with all participants!!
We had a large party of 39 celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday so we booked a private boat with 3 stops to see the stingrays, starfish and snorkel at a coral reef. We had the BEST time and could not have had better guides and a captain. Carlos was so great and had the best personality while also educating us on the island during the bus ride to the marina. Eric and Ricky were also AMAZING. I can not speak highly enough about these 3 men and their attention to detail and taking care of us and making the day so fun and relaxing. It was the best day of our entire trip. The stingrays were wonderful, the boat was clean and organized, and we could not be more grateful to these men and this company for memories we will never forget. Also the communication with Judd was great and it was so easy to book and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you so much Anchor Tours, 10/10! :)
Chater was too overcrowded. Site was visited by many other charters making the area very crowded. While the stingrays were fantastic, the only contact was with crew member holding one. This was essentially a picture opportunity for the tour . Crew member holding the ray was curt. The snorkeling portion of the tour was mediocre at best. Snorkeling equipment was poor and no fins we're provided. We purchased pictures that were supposed to be emailed later that day. When they didn't arrive after 2 days, I contacted our ship representative who contacted Anchor tours. When the pictures arrived they were of another couple.
Fun snorkeling in beautiful water, and then amazing visit to the Stingray Sandbar. I never expected to hold a Stingray in my hands, nor to have one "kiss" me. Our boat crew was great and the pictures they took were a wonderful memento. It does help to be a bit tall when you jump into the water at the Stingray Sandbar, as my wife, who is 5'1" tall, was almost underwater initially. Great trip, would do it again.
I loved seeing both the Turtle Centre and the Stinray Sandbar! I thought both of those were amazing! My husband and I got wonderful photos. I also liked seeing the town of Hell. The only thing I did not like was the bus driver, Tyrone, I think his name was. I did not think he was that great of a driver and he kept the bus like a sauna. Otherwise, it was an exceptional experience and I will gladly be back in the Cayman Islands someday. Thank you!
Oh my. What a fantastic experience. We can't quit talking about it. I would highly recommend this for everyone. It was truly a highlight of our whole trip. Steph is fantastic. So kind and makes absolutely certain everything is perfect. The captain and the other gentlemen (sorry, too much cruise, I can't remember their names) were fantastic as well. Spent lots of time in the water with the stingrays. They explained so much to us about the stingrays. You can certainly tell they love what they do and they love to share it with you. Do this activity if you don't do anything else. Well worth it!
We had been avoiding this type of activity in the past. Something about swimming with the rays was a little creepy. Well, we were really surprised! This was one unforgettable experience! The water was beautiful, the rays were wonderful, and the ship a crew were fine. If you have never done this before, we strongly recommend it.
Andrew, Kevin, and Mr BB were great tour guides to Stingray City. Toured as a Carnival excursion. Great attention to each guest and made us all feel safe among the rays. Will book again.
My husband and I took the tour to snorkel the coral and swim with the sting rays. These guys were awesome! Kevin is a fantastic guide, Elvis is a great Captain, and the other man (I believe his name was Steve) was genuinely helpful! They took time to explain things, let you know they were there for anything, and provided any assistance needed. Three very kind men doing an amazing job. They made our vacation truly memorable. I would highly recommend them!
I booked this excursion with Carnival last minute and I don't regret it one bit! It was such a fun and memorable thing to do on my honeymoon! Our guide Kevin was very interactive with us and gave us so many facts on the island! The crew made sure everyone was comfortable and safe and I honestly can't wait to book this cool excursion again on my future cruises!
I couldn't decided which excursions to choose on my recent cruise with carnival. I'm so happy I picked the snorkeling and stingrays tour with Anchor Tours. Awesome!!!! They had EVERYTHING that was needed. THEY WERE SO KNOWLEDGABLE,SAFE AND ORGANIZED.
I wasn't going to do any excursions before my trip but once I read upon the top 10 excursion Carnival cruise was offering I pick Anchor Tours Stingray and snorkeling and it was the best choose I made. I'm so so great I choose it. I was afraid and nervous but the crew was great and made us feel at ease. They were wonderful at making us feel at ease and reinsurance us that it was safe and it was!!!!
My husband and I took their Coral reef and sting ray snorkeling tour and it was amazing! Such a fun excursion!
The most absolutely beautiful water ever!! This is the excursion to not miss! Loved it from the beginning when Stephanie answered all my questions and calmed my worries to the boat crew that was so great! They made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their experience! Will be booking again!
I came here with my friend to visit her family and celebrate my 24th birthday! I had the pleasure of taking a tour to stingray city and starfish point! I had an awesome captain named Elvis, a lovely host named Ashley, and a super cool sting ray mate Egan! They were super accommodating and did an awesome job teaching us how to navigate our way safely in stingray city. They showed us how to hold and feed the stingrays and made me feel super comfortable with something I was originally afraid of. I highly recommend you add this to your to-do list when visiting Cayman!
The absolute BEST excursion I've been on. It was well organized from the moment we walked off the ship. The guides were friendly and entertaining as well during our ride out to Stingray City. We definitely recommend Anchor Tours to everyone! Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity!
My family and I did this excursion and we had the best time ever. Ashley was our tour guide. It was so awesome. We will definitely be doing it again and will tell all of our family and friends about it. Thank you Anchor Tours.
We went to Stingray City and Starfish Bay. What a great time! This was a trip for our daughters 18th birthday, and all she wanted to do was swim with stingrays! She was in heaven. The crew was great, and so very helpful. Highly recommended!!!!!
Sash and all the crew were fabulous and the only thing I want to be sure travelers know is to bring the $40 cash for the digital pictures that they will take for you so you can focus on the fun and that you won't want to miss out on. The crew really give personalized service by making sure everyone gets that perfect picture of the exciting adventure there on! Thanks guys for memories that will last a lifetime!
We booked the Sensational Stingray City tour through Carnival Cruise lines and were not disappointed. Captain BeBe was great and his stingray handler was the best. He gave us all an opportunity to get up close and personal with the stingrays and did not rush us along. He guided us on how to interact with the rays to maximize our encounter while being respectful of the rays treatment. We had great photo opportunities which we will treasure for years to come.
I have gone to Sting Ray City a handful of times, and Anchor Tours were by far the best company I have ever used! The staff were very friendly and helpful; the manager Allison was exceptionally helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the stingrays, the history of Sting Ray City and the best places to snorkel. The photos I purchased on the trip were truly priceless; a must do if you visit the stingrays! I will always be reminded of the amazing experience I had when I look at them, and they are always a great conversational piece. The boat was very clean, with ample trash cans, and traditional washroom facilities. I was even able to bring a few drinks on board which was a real treat. I would highly recommend using this company; Allison's leadership, knowledge-ability, and high degree of professionalism is what separates this charter from the many others in Cayman. I would give Anchor Tours two thumbs up and five shiny stars for the amazing environment and experience they foster on their trips!
Our company chartered the boat for the day to take us over to Rum Point from Camana Bay and stopping for a short fishing session on the way there. The crew was very attentive and helpful making sure we were having a good time. I would recommend using Anchor Tours for any business socials or get together!
