Creator's Key Takeaways

Felt it was absolutely very well worth it. Since Grand Cayman is a tender port, you'll start off by tendering in from your ship.

Highly, highly recommend this tour. It's great interacting with the stingrays in their natural environment. Uh water there is absolutely beautiful.

We swam with dolphins. We swam with the pigs. This is one of the better experiences all together. Very, very highly recommended.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be very clear about which boat you're getting on when the tour begins to avoid confusion.
Opt for a tour first thing in the morning to avoid the heat and allow time for shopping later.
Do not grab at the tail of the stingrays.
