Spring break - We visited during spring break so the stops were crowded. Captain Joel and team were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time! The check in process at the cruise port was a bit confusing and chaotic but several ships arrived at once.

This is who you want to book with! Recommended by a friend to us,and we recommend them to you!! - We got here by recommendation from a friend who has booked with Captain Bryan's multiple times. The crew went above and beyond. We came by cruise ship. We were told by the cruise line we wouldn't get off the boat in time for the trip. I called and let them know we weren't going to make it. However, somehow we managed to get off the boat an hour before we were told we could. We got to the bus area and the staff made special accommodations to get us to their boat and we made the tour!! The tour was absolutely awesome!! Our guide was very knowledgeable about all the sea creatures we saw and we saw so many different things!! They also had a photographer on board and we were able to purchase our pictures. Everything about this trip was awesome. I highly recommend Captain Bryan's and will absolutely book them again in the future!!

Amazing time and great variety. - What an amazing excursion! Our ship canceled our excursion the night before so we quickly booked this one after reading the reviews. We didn't want to spend too much time in one spot so this was perfect. We would have loved to spend more time snorkeling, but we understand the time contraints. The Buccanneer captain and crew did an amazing job. We highly recommend this excursion and we will definitely be back!

Amazing experience and amazing staff! - This was absolutely everything and more that we wanted to experience. Although the views were amazing the crew was even better. They made us feel super comfortable and made the entire experience great. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent Stingray Experience ! - A fantastic stingray experience! The corals and fish were beautiful. The starfish point was a little disappointing as we had to wait for another group to finish with the five starfish. Then one carried them over to our group to take pictures. I still highly recommend the tour as the stingrays were spectacular!

Choose Captain Bryan’s if you want the best that Grand Cayman has to offer - If you are coming in off a cruise ship then this Captain Bryan’s Tour Service is THE BEST CHOICE for seeing the most that Grand Cayman has to offer! The driver gave us a good history of the island. The ships crew professional and knowledgeable. We had an awesome times at each of the three stops (snorkeling off the Great Barrier Reef, Sting Ray City, and Starfish Point).

Superb experience - Very good excursions with a first stop to see starfish, a second at Stingray city to swim with rays and finally a stop for a dive on the corals with a multitude of fish. Everything was well organized with a very good guide. I highly recommend Captain Bryan,s
