Must do! - Awesome excursion! The guides were great and the experience was very enjoyable. We didn’t have good weather that day and we still had a great time.

Fantastic Experience - All three stops on this trip were great! There were lots of fish and sting ray to see while we were snorkeling. At the sting ray sandbar, the crew helped us each hold the stingray. They also collected a dozen star fish for us to see and hold at Starfish Point. Overall, we all had a wonderful day.

Must do excursion - This is an amazing experience! Everything is run so smoothly from pick up at your resort to getting on the boat, to each part of the trip. The boat was clean, nice and plenty of seating both in the sun or shaded. There’s water at Faygo soda provided. The stingrays were by far the most outstanding part of the trip. The snorkeling is fantastic and starfish point was a peaceful finale before heading back. Highly recommend!

The best tour in Cayman Islands - Rowan tours is fantastic. Capt Jake and Alex are amazing. Could not be a better tour. Snorkeling , Sting Rays and Starfish. Just enough time for snorkeling and stingrays. Boat had juts the right amount of people. Not crowded and family friendly. Hydration included. Best snorkeling we have ever done. My son had the best time from driving the boat to pulling out conch shells. A family must do. You will not regret it. !

Nice tour and great time - We had a good time for this tour, although the weather was not too favorable for about 20 minutes or so when it rained and felt very cold, which is due to mother nature. The tour had a good itinerary, with three stops including a really nice snorkeling site, the famous stingray site and then final stop at star fish. The tour guide was knowledgeable and was caring about safety of animals as well as passengers. It was a nice tour.

Wonderful experience!! - Wonderful experience, highly recommend!! Our guides were very attentive and knowledgeable. We went snorkeling at carol garden, and saw stingray and starfish at two other stops. We liked swimming with stingrays most, it was so much fun! Besides the fun activities, I wanted to highlight that our guides were very attentive and knowledgeable. We wouldn't have had so much fun swimming with stingrays if they didn't hold the stingray and let us get close by the creature. They also did a great job with the timing, we had an easy time getting back to the port and catch the tender boat before the crowds. I would highly recommend this tour if you visit Cayman Islands and want to get the most out of a short day!

Greta service and great experience! - Great laid back experience. Large boat and only had about 16 people. Jake and Angel were great operators. They were very kind and helpful in all that we done. Definitely a must do while you’re in Grand Cayman.

Great family-friendly must-go trip while visiting Grand Cayman - The captain Jake, alongside with Angel, were an absolute blast. This crew have given us the real a Cayman experience through our boat adventures from the snorkling dive spot, to the Stingray City, and Starfish Beach. They always went above and beyond to accommodate us whether it be photographs along the way, encouraging exciting activity for everyone such as kissing a stingray for 7 years of luck (best believe we did). This is an experience that is comfortable for any-age. To sum it up: Adventure-filled, engaging, and a friendly experience. If you are looking to experience any of the events above I highly recommend experiencing it with this crew!
