“Our originally booking was cancelled due to not enough people that was disappointing. Because we had gone to Stingray City and Starfish Point, we specifically booked this one to go to different snorkeling places. Luckily, we were able to go the next day instead. Wow, we loved it more than our first similar tour from another company. There were more (groups) of fish just right next to the boat at the snorkeling places and we saw two sea turtles too. They brought enough of squid to feed the stingrays (and the sea birds) and the stingrays just were just swimming around us. My kids were finally willing to try to…”

“This was sold as a pickup at cruise ship. NOT TRUE. You have to find them. We had bought tickets for an 11:30am departure. When we found the desk (which took some doing) they told us we are departing at noon. We were concerned about getting back in time. At 12:15 we still hadn't left. Passengers from other cruise ships were still gathering. When we got on busses there was barely enough seats. The experience once on board was good but the boat was small. It was a windy day so the seas were rough. When we got to the stingray site there were tons of boats. Many larger than…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 288 reviews · from $95

Board at Cayman Islands Yacht Club at 5:30 pm for a small-group boat trip to Starfish Point and Grand Cayman’s Bioluminescent Bay. Guides such as Pepe, Aaron, and Yassen have helped guests spot sea stars, use snorkel gear, and find the darkest water for the strongest glow. Bring a swimsuit, towel, snacks, and drinks.

“This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The picture and video don’t do it justice. To see the tiny plankton light up as you move past them. I highly recommend using a snorkel mast so you can see what’s happening around you. Slowly moving your hands in front of you looks like you are shooting electricity out your finger tips. Our crew was great- very friendly, very knowledgeable, and happy to shoot pictures and video for us. This boat has a double hull, so we could swim under it for extra darkness to see the glow even better. Would highly recommend this excursion and this crew.”
