A memorable experience at Grand Cayman and roughly half the price of the cruise ship excursions - I originally scheduled the 9:00 #4 Tour because our cruise ship was scheduled to start tenders to shore at 8:00, but Captain Marvin's recommended the 10:30 #5 Tour to make sure that we would have ample time to tender to shore and check in at the office. The office, in the Waterfront Centre, was about a one-block walk from the pier. The extra time allowed for a more leisurely exit from the ship and time for browsing in the shops. A very talkative driver named Tim took us from the office to the boat launch in a well-worn shuttle bus. Our boat crew, Captain Delroy (Delray?), Mate Jimbo & Burgher (our official photographer), were very friendly and helpful. Our boat, North Sounder, looked brand new and was spotless. Our first stop was snorkeling at Coral Gardens. This is a nice place for first-time snorkelers, but if you have snorkeled elsewhere, there's not much to see. It still, however, felt good to get in the water and see some tropical fish in a small patch of coral and watch the stingrays glide by. Our next stop was the sandbar at Stingray City where the water was about waist to chest deep. It was fun holding the stingrays, feeding them squid, getting back massages from the stingrays with assistance from Jimbo, and kissing them for seven years of good luck. Burgher took pictures but it was nice to have my smartphone in the waterproof JOTO case. Our last stop was Starfish Beach where we had the opportunity to hold a couple of starfish. We purchased the digital photo package that Burgher was selling and he airdropped the photos to our phones. SUGGESTIONS: If you can, do the 9:00 tour before the stops become so crowded. Don't worry about wearing water shoes as you remove your shoes before getting on the boat. Get a JOTO case so you can use your smart phone to take your own pictures. Don't forget your towel and sunscreen! Don't forget to tip your crew!

Family fun - We booked the Tour #5 during our stop in port. We walked to the office, a short distance from the cruise ship. We were met by our driver, who drove us to meet the boat about 20 minutes away. We boarded the boat and were met by Jordan and Michael, our captains and guides for the trip. They were friendly and informative. Our first stop was Stingray City. The guys were thorough on instructions and made the time enjoyable. Our photographer, Polo was awesome! The pictures are amazing! The next stop was Coral Gardens for snorkeling. Michael was in the water with us, pointing out fish and stingrays. The last stop was starfish point. Another great time. Michael was snorkeling in the water with my son and daughter showing them the big starfish in the grassy parts. Other than some jellyfish, this was a great stop. Once back on the boat, my son was given some ointment for his stings. I would highly recommend booking with Captain Marvin's to anyone. They were easy to work with and provided a safe family experience!

Book now! - Highlight of our trip!!! Such a great way to explore the beautiful waters of the caymans!! Staff were super friendly and professional with each stop. It was a last minute to decision to add on snorkelling to our excursion and I’m so glad we did. You can tell the captains on the ship really enjoy and respect their occupation. Can’t wait to bring our friends and families to the island, but especially to visit this excursion!

Great tour with not too many people! - We had a great time on this tour. It had 3 stops, first for snorkeling, the second was Sting Ray City and the third Starfish Point. We really liked this group tour because it was a lot smaller than the other companies offered. The boat was comfortable and clean and the staff was super friendly. They made sure that everyone had a chance to hold and feed the string rays and starfish.

A memorable day with Captain Marvin - A great trip with Stingray City being the highlight of the day. The crew were welcoming and helpful, a credit to Captain Marvin as was our bus driver who clearly has a few stories to tell!
