Great trip - Great trip. Very memorable. The crew was friendly and helpful. They were excellent with the sting rays as well. Only complaint was a slow boat compared to the rest limited our time.

Good alternative to cruise excursion - Even though we were visiting Grand Cayman on a cruise, we booked with Acquarius privately as they offered 3 stops (Coral Gardens, Stingrays, and Starfish) for the same price as the cruise excursion, which only stopped at the Stingrays and Starfish. I'm glad we did as snorkelling at the Coral Garden was probably the highlight. We also didn't have to deal with the huge crowds and long lines for the cruise excursions, instead we were met at the port by Brian and taken directly to his boat. There was only one cruise ship docked that day, but the crowds were still pretty intense. Nevertheless we were still able to enjoy a decent amount of time at each stop without being impacted by the crowds too much. We appreciated the changing area and restroom on the Catamaran and there was also water and fruit punch available. All snorkelling gear was provided and it was clean and in good condition.

Had a great time! - The Buccaneer crew made the trip very easy for us. They were responsive to our questions before the date and made a really nice experience while we were on the tour as well. The time spent at each location was perfect (1/2 day experience with 3 parts) and the boat ride was relaxing and fun.

Fabulous experience - Darren the owner took us to the buccaneer boat himself as the coach was full, Jason and spike did a grand job giving plenty of attention to the less able people, very informative during the trip, a credit to the company, I would highly recommend this trip, only downside is finding the departure point where the coaches wait, out of the port turn left with a 5 minute walk, asking questions along the way to ensure you find the correct company, so many tour operators without no clear signage, don’t let this put you off though.

Fantastic day! - The crew were AMAZING! The trip was exactly how it was explained! The snorkeling was fantastic, just amazing!
We loved the stingrays- we fed them, pet them, kissed them- so cool! Then we went to the starfish beach- another really cool adventure. Very safe, the quick bus ride to the boat was perfect! Got back to our ship in plenty if time to do more exploring around the port! We highly recommend!!!!!!

Lack Luster - Beautiful day but somewhat a lack luster tour. Type of boat was switched last minute (the boat advertised was used for a private tour). Snorkel sight had limited fish etc to see. Stingray City was very busy with at least 12 other boats there. One guide on the boat did a nice job of providing some factual info regarding rays and starfish. No music and ran out of bottled water early on. Tour lacked the warm, fun feelings we've experienced on other catamaran tours.

Don’t Trust - Don’t book this tour. Operator is dishonest and when dealing with issues will not help.
As all cruise ships must tender you are at risk of boat schedule. When late there is no number to call and no one to help.
Upon arrival at port we were late 25 mins. We called two numbers and no one responded. 3 hours later the photo person responded sorry and that they would let the captain know to get us refund.
When we asked for a refund on viator the operator gave different times saying our arrival time was 30 mins earlier which is not on any document. They then changed their times in a different message and claimed they were at the port to talk to us which was not true.
Reality is for them it is best you miss the tour as they have a stand at the dock to get more customers. So good news for them we don’t get a refund and they get paid twice.
Don’t waste your time booking in advance or trust this operator.
Enjoy the stingrays with someone else!
