My wife and I had a chance to visit Stingray city recently on May 25th. We took a Carnival Cruise to Cayman and Ocho Rios. Here is the review.... Our trip to Grand Cayman was fantastic. We bought an excursion ticket, which if we had the brains would not have done, because the same trip was being offered for 20... more

After reading all the reviews I had the choice narrowed down to either Soto's or Moby Dick. There are always a few individuals who can't be pleased, or unforseen circumstances that make the tours less spectacular. That said, I can report that our Soto's Stingray tour was excellent. Randy met us exactly where he was suppose to be in a... more

Moby Dick is excellent value and an easy way to see one of the greatest wildlife adventures in the world. The crew is charming (especilly the Italian, "thank you very nice") and knowledgeable, and were in the water with us the entire time. I highly recommend The Moby Dick more

Although I was completely scared to visit Stingray City, I thought it would be an adventure, and I certainly was right. The water at the sandbar (about 35 mins off shore by boat) was the bluest I have ever seen and there were tons of stingrays. They were very gentle (a little rowdy at feeding time) and loved the attention... more

I'll be honest, I was terrified to go on this excursion (after what happend with Steve Irwin!) I did the excursion through Carnival (Moby Dick Tours) and I am SOOO glad I did!! This was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. Stingrays are very gentle and the guides tell you all about them, as well as letting you... more

If you are in Grand Cayman, you must see Stingray City, and it is definitely better to use a local charter than to go through any of the cruise lines. Local charters take fewer people, and cost considerably less than the cruise lines. We used Dexters Fantasea Tours and were thoroughly impressed. Dexter is a native Caymanian and knows the... more

I didn't visit Stingray City when my wife and I went to Cayman Islands 15 yrs ago and regreted since. Finally we have a chance to visit it this time when my wife and I plus two daughters(12 & 8) took a cruise trip. I read a lot of good feedback about Mooby Dick Tour from Tripadvisor and made our... more

I went with Moby Dick Tours. Mark the owner was fantastic. Very informative and funny. Also much cheaper than booking through the cruise companies. He put everyone at ease about the safety of going in the water with the Stingrays. The experience was amazing, scary but thrilling and I am so glad that I have done it and will not... more

Last week we had a brief stop over during our cruise in grand Cayman island . We had decided to go with Captain Marvins tours even before our vacation because we knew all tours booked on the ship were more costly. We made the contact after looking at various web sites emailed our questions and request for reservations and got... more

If you are able to rent a charter boat or find a tour boat to Stingray City - do not miss out on this experience. Stingray City is a large sandbar in the ocean. Your boat will anchor and you get to swim and wade with the Stingrays. The water is fairly shallow, so you can even just walk through... more
