About this tour
This two-hour Cayman Islands tour takes you to Stingray City and Starfish Point on a morning boat before peak crowds. You'll wade into shallow waters to hand-feed southern stingrays and observe starfish in their natural habitat. The excursion skips snorkeling, making it accessible across ages and fitness levels. Snorkel gear is provided if you want to explore on your own, though it's optional. The package includes water, stingray food, and air-conditioned transport to the dock.

What to expect
You'll board a boat and cruise to shallow, sandy flats where stingrays gather. After a brief orientation, you wade into calm, clear water—typically knee to waist-deep—and the crew hands you food to feed the rays. These animals are accustomed to human interaction and approach readily. You'll also visit Starfish Point to spot starfish resting on the sand. The entire experience is gentle and hands-on rather than athletic. If conditions permit and you're interested, snorkeling gear is there to use, but most visitors simply wade and observe from the surface.
Good to know
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and wear water shoes for comfort. Photos of your stingray encounter are available for purchase (starting at $50). Gratuity is not included. Service animals are welcome. Public transportation to the dock is nearby. Those with cardiovascular concerns should consult a doctor before booking.
