Half of this island only makes sense from the water. The 15 below run from a two-hour sandbar hop to a full day with lunch aboard, each clear about the group size and how much of the time is spent moving.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 174 reviews · from $725Our pick

Review of Grand Cayman’s private Stingray City, Starfish Point, and snorkeling tour, with pricing, itinerary, boat tips, and booking advice.

“We really liked most of our experience. However the boat was equipped with a propeller that only allowed us to go 9 miles an hour and we were completely soaked with water as soon as we got on the boat. I am not sure why that was. Chris was great and professional but the boat ride was something else. The stress about not making it back to our ship in time because of the boat really put a damper on the great time we had.”

Review of Grand Cayman’s private boat tour, with Stingray City, snorkeling, Starfish Point, Rum Point, Kaibo, and Bio Bay options.

“I give this boat day and experience 5 stars! James our captain was a local young captain with true experience of Cayman. We were able to customize our own itinerary and James made it so easy to accommodate exactly what we wanted to do. This is a great way to see Rum Point and the other side of the island. The string rays are worth seeing and spending some time with them! I highly recommend.”

Review of Grand Cayman's private boat charter to Stingray City, Coral Gardens, Starfish Beach, and more, with prices, tips, and practical details.

“I would 100% recommend this trip if you have more than 5-6 people in your group! The boat was perfect for 8 people and we fit comfortably, we could've fit maybe 2-3 more. Our guide was great and very knowledgable. We went to Stingray city first, then snorkeling right near by, and ended with starfish beach. I've done Stingray City before on one of the large catamarans, and this was the way to do it. You're not dealing with a massive boat of 30+ people trying to crowd around and see the stingrays and you actually get time to enjoy it!”
