Grand cayman, grand cayman excursions and cruise tours.

Grand Cayman Island, the largest of the three Cayman Islands, is a stretch of a 22-mile tropical paradise surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. It houses George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands, and is best known for its diverse sea life and coral reefs. With so many miles of nature, culture, and adventure, there is something fun for everyone. Consider starting with an island tour from Shore Excursions.

Grand Cayman Ocean Adventures and Island Excursions

There are so many ways to get up close and personal with all of the marine life in Grand Cayman. See the beautiful coral and sea life by reef snorkeling at the Coral Gardens in the North Sound. Take a Stingray City Sandbar tour on one of our Grand Cayman excursions to interact with the giant stingrays swimming along the white sand floor. And take advantage of the many snorkeling spots, scuba diving, starfish beaches, kayaking, and jet skiing activities that the pristine waters of the barrier reef have to offer. Seven Mile Beach in West Bay is another must-visit location on Grand Cayman Island. This award-winning coral-sand beach is rated one of the best beaches in the world. Seven Mile Beach is public property, which means the entire length of the beach is open to the public and can be visited no matter where on the island you're staying. This beach is also one of the most developed areas on the island, so you'll find no shortage of restaurants, beach bars, hotels, and luxury resorts. Other great beaches on Grand Cayman include Rum Point, Starfish Point, and Kaibo Beach. George Town is a popular port-of-call cruise port in the Caribbean and is known for its shopping district, cuisine, activities, and nightlife. It's also home to the only place in Grand Cayman that manufactures liquor; the famous Cayman Spirits Distillery. You can charter a catamaran, go parasailing, take a glass-bottomed boat tour, or even take a submarine tour. If you like fishing, take a half-day or full-day private charter to fish the reef or the deep sea. While in George Town, also be sure to check out the famous Tortuga Rum Cake Factory, where you can sample a wide variety of rum cakes and take some home as souvenirs. For the more adventurous traveler, ditch the snorkel equipment and scuba gear for a spot on a helicopter tour excursion to view Grand Cayman from above. Or explore the cavernous underground wonders of the Cayman Crystal Caves in the tropical forest of the Northside district. You can also go horseback riding on the beach, an experience you'll never forget. And if you enjoy sightseeing, visit the Pedro St. James Castle or Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park. If a scenic route is what you crave, take the short ride to Hell, a small town with dark limestone outcroppings and fantastic local cuisine. Or visit the Turtle Farm, once a source for turtle meat production and now a conservation center for sea turtles. For some outdoor adventure, hike the mangroves and spot some wildlife. We have no shortage of Grand Cayman excursions and exciting tours for each visitor's needs.

When to Visit the Grand Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are warm year-round, with average highs in the 80s (a bathing suit is your Grand Cayman weather essential), but in colder months-January and February-the lows can drop to the high 60s. The most popular travel time in the islands is between October-April, but Grand Cayman is breathtaking no matter the time of year!

Our Grand Cayman cruise excursions offer something for every type of traveler: whether you're on a business trip or summer vacation, whether you prefer adventure or relaxation, whether you're honeymooning or bringing the kids along, you're destined for an unforgettable visit. So check out our Grand Cayman tours and excursions today to experience the beautiful vistas and charming island atmospheres right off of the cruise ship. There is so much to love about this place.

Adventures in the Cayman Islands!

Welcome to the Cayman Islands! If you've heard about the fantastic stingray city excursions in Grand Cayman, then you have Captain Marvin to thank for that. Our captain was a founding father of stingray excursions in Grand Cayman!

Whether it's snorkeling around the coral heads and reefs, swimming with stingrays, or enjoying the wonder of sea stars at Starfish Point and the other-worldly night-time bioluminescence tour, you will discover amazing things in our waters!

If you are looking for the best fishing charters in the Cayman Islands, we have you covered. Our experienced captains will take you deep sea fishing for marlin, tuna, or wahoo. Grand Cayman is also an excellent place for reef fishing (yellowtail and red snapper, grunts, triggerfish, jacks), and our knowledgeable guides know all the best places to go. Come with us to explore all that Grand Cayman has to offer. Adventure calls and we must go!

The Best Excursions and Experiences

Explore our activities

Tour #1: Stingrays and Starfish ( Caves on Fridays & Saturdays only)

Enjoy the combo tour with stingrays and starfish, offered for USD59/person each morning at 7:30 before the crowds! On Fridays and Saturdays, you can add the caves tour (USD99/person for both). You must prepay for these tours as the office isn't open before 7:30 AM.

Tour #2: Stingrays and one snorkel stop to Barrier Reef OR Coral Gardens

Our two-stop stingray/snorkel tour lasts about two hours and 30 minutes, slightly shorter than our three-stop stingray/snorkel tour. The two-stop trip goes to the Stingray City sandbar plus one snorkel stop, either the Barrier Reef or the Coral Gardens. Our captain will decide when he gets out to the stingray/snorkel areas which snorkel stop to use, based on wind, wave, and tide conditions, as well as on the number of people at each of the two areas. We always try to go to the less populated of the two stops.

Tour #3: Beach Lunch, Stingray & Snorkel tour

Capt. Marvin's Beach Lunch Stingray/Snorkel Tour is the best of the best! It includes two snorkel stops (one of which will be a conch dive during conch season, Nov. 1st through April 30th), the Stingray City sandbar for interaction with the stingrays, and a fresh seafood lunch on the beach across the North Sound (near Kaibo/Rumpoint).

Our crew will dive for conch in season and you are welcome to help them. They will even clean up some shells so each family unit who wishes can take one back home with them (supply limited). The rest of the year, you will have extra snorkeling (or Starfish) stop instead of the conch dive.

Tour #4:Stingray City and Two snorkeling stops to Coral Gardens and the Barrier Reef

Our three-stop stingray/snorkel tour lasts three hours, dock to dock. The three-stop stingray/snorkel trip goes to the Stingray City sandbar plus TWO snorkel stops, both the Barrier Reef AND the Coral Gardens.

We strongly recommend that you bring flotation devices for children under age 3, as our snorkel gear is for ages 3 and over. We provide snorkel vests, life vests, masks, snorkels, and fins for everyone ages 4 and over. You are welcome to bring your own gear if you like. We offer complimentary shuttle service from your hotel or condo on Seven Mile Beach.

Tour #5: Stingrays, Starfish and Snorkeling

A new tour is being offered on our brand new motor catamaran.

This tour has been getting really great reviews! With approximately 25 people on average, it's a comfortable and high-end unique visit to some of the most beautiful spots on the planet.

The snorkeling will be at either the Coral Gardens OR the Barrier Reef, with approximately 40 minutes at each stop, allowing you more time to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

Bioluminescence Tour

Start with a cruise over to Starfish Point for sunset and starfish viewing, then get educated on the upside-down jellyfish before going into bio bay to experience this phenomenon (swimming optional) of seeing the bioluminescence, something that only a few places in the world can offer.

Our Fishing Boats

We are fortunate to have a fleet of cabin cruisers for fishing charters. The boats vary in length from 33 feet to 60 feet.

Deep Sea Fishing

Capt. Marvin's Watersports is privileged to have excellent, experienced captains who will help you catch that big marlin, tuna, or wahoo. One of the great advantages of deep sea fishing in Grand Cayman is that our deep water is not far from shore, so you do not have to spend hours of your time just getting to the fishing areas.

We offer both half-day and full-day fishing charters. Our half-day charters are from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM, and again from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM, and our full-day charters are from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM. Upon request, we will also provide a cooler with ice for your beverages and snacks if you would like to bring them along with you.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Grand Cayman and the most beautiful Seven Mile Beach

Three islands form the Cayman Islands: Grand Cayman, and the sister islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. While not quite seven miles long, the beach is still popular for its beautiful white sand and clear blue water teeming with marine life. A barrier reef at the northern edge of the North Sound at Grand Cayman is an excellent spot for a snorkel trip.

For such a small island, it is surprising to know that Cayman is home to over 100 different nationalities. The three islands are situated at the center of the western Caribbean Sea, surrounded by Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, and Central America. As one would expect, seafood is featured at most restaurants. You'll also find spicy dishes from Jamaica, like jerk chicken. The traditional dessert is cassava or "heavy" cake, made with grated cassava and coconut milk. The delicious cake is seasoned with vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Frequently asked questions

Do you pick up at our hotel/condo.

Yes, as most of our business is from the hotels and condos we do offer pick up along the 7 mile beach road.

Do you have group rates?

Yes, we offer group rates starting with groups of ten or more for cash payments and 10% for credit card payments.

Do you provide snorkel gear?

Yes, we provide snorkel gear (mask, snorkel, fins and snorkel vest or life jacket) for everyone ages 4 and up, included in the price of your tour.

Can we have a private boat?

Yes, we would be happy to make your tour a private charter. Please see the rate sheet under 'Private Charters' on our web site.

Do we have to worry about missing our ship?

We will not schedule you for a trip that will not work with your ship's schedule, and we have kept detailed records over the years so we know what time your ship's last tender will be.

Do you pick up at the port?

We are the only provider with an office right across the street from the cruise terminals, so you are guaranteed to find us easily. Your reservation confirmation from us will give you walking directions to our office, and there is a photo of the building (Waterfront Centre) and a map on our web site.

Can we get dropped off at the beach after our trip?

We would be happy to drop you off at Seven Mile Beach after your tour with us. There are always local buses and taxis waiting at Calico Jack's and Tiki Beach, two of the more popular areas on the beach, both with restaurant/bar/restroom facilities. Bus fare back to the cruise terminal is US$2.50/person, and taxi fare is about US$5-7/person, subject to change.

Are there age restrictions?

We have no age restrictions on our tours. We ask that if you are bringing along children under the age of 4, you bring flotation devices for them as we do not provide them for children under age 4.

Are pregnant women able to take the tour?

Yes, however, pregnant women are not allowed to do any of the dolphin tours.

Do I need to know how to swim?

It is recommended that you know how to swim if you intend to do any snorkeling. We have a lifebuoy that you may use to hang on to during the snorkel stops so you can see the fish and coral if you are not comfortable swimming.

How deep is the water?

The water at the Stingray City sandbar is 3-4 feet deep. We anchor the boat nearby in about 5-6 feet of water so we don't run it aground, and you then make your way over to the shallower area where you will stand in the sand while the stingrays swim around you. The snorkel stops are in 8-10 feet of water.

Are there changing rooms at Stingray City?

We recommend that you wear your swimsuit under a cover-up or shorts/t-shirt as the only place to change clothes at Stingray City is in the head on the boat.

Do you offer travel agent discounts?

We offer card-carrying travel agents a discount on our tours. Please let us know when you are making a reservation, and bring your IATA card with you for check-in.

What is the maximum number of people allowed on your tours?

We have several boats ranging from 34-60 feet in length, with capacities from 20-45 people. The average number of people on a tour is 25.

How early can we make a reservation?

You may make your reservation at any time now for a future date; during the busy season (November to May) we urge you to make your reservation at least two weeks in advance as trips tend to fill up.

Do you offer SCUBA diving?

No, we do not do any SCUBA diving but we recommend DiveTech locally (www.divetech.com).

Do you offer fishing trips that you can pay per person rather than chartering the boat?

No, we do not offer shared fishing charters.

Do you have any recommendations for a family with limited snorkeling experience?

We strongly recommend that you know how to swim before taking a snorkeling trip, but our crew are experienced at teaching beginners how to snorkel. Just ask them when you get to the boat.

Do you pay when you book or when you arrive?

If you book online, you will be charged upon completion of your reservation. If you book by phone or in person, you will be charged when you check in with us on the day of your tour. However, we will need a credit card to hold your reservation either way.

What is your cancellation policy?

If your cruise ship cannot stop here on its scheduled day, or arrives too late for you to take our tour, you will not be charged. If you need to cancel your reservation for personal reasons, please do so at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged. If your ship arrives on time and you do not show up for your tour, you will be charged. If the weather is such that our captain cancels our boat trip, you will not be charged, but we do not cancel for rain only.

How long is the tour?

We have two-stop (2.5 to 2.75 hours), three-stop (3 hours) and beach lunch (5 hours) tours. These times are dock-to-dock; add 15-20 minutes for transportation each way.

Where would we book this excursion?

You may book online by filling out the reservation form on our web site, or you may phone our office using one of the phone numbers on our 'Contact' page.

Is there a better time of day to see the stingrays?

The stingrays are hungry morning, noon and night. The ones who have eaten in the morning will go off to their afternoon hangout, and others will take their place throughout the day.

Is there a season for fishing? What's the best month to catch fish?

Fishing is great in Cayman year-round.

How much time do we get to spend at each stop on the stingray/snorkel tour?

The Stingray, Starfish and Snorkeling tour is approximately 40 min per stop giving you a bit more time per stop.

Can we stay on the boat?

Yes, you may stay on the boat at any of the stops.

Do you offer life jackets for kids?

We provide snorkel vests and life jackets for everyone ages 4 and over. If you are bringing children under age 4 with you, please bring a flotation device for them.

How far is the pier from your location?

Our private dock is about a 4-minute drive from our main location on Seven Mile Beach, and it's about a 15-minute drive from our location across from the cruise ship terminals.

Can you accommodate a person in a wheelchair?

Yes, on most of our tours we are able to accommodate a person in a wheelchair provided it is collapsible.

What happens if our ship is late or doesn't stop in Grand Cayman due to the weather, etc.? Will we get a refund?

If your ship arrives too late for your tour with us, or is not able to stop at all, you will not be charged. However, in most cases, we will have been made aware in advance that your ship will be arriving late, and we will do our best to make adjustments to the timing so that you can still take your tour with us. Please check in at our office in the Waterfront Centre as soon as you are able to get off the ship to see what we have been able to arrange for you. If you have booked through a tour agency and have paid them in advance, you will need to deal with them directly to receive a refund.
