This 3.5-hour boat and bus tour in Grand Cayman includes visits to Coral Gardens, Stingray City Sandbar, and Starfish Point. The tour departs from the Royal Watler Cruise Ship Terminal with free shuttle service from local resorts. It begins with a boat ride to Coral Gardens, where shallow waters of 8 to 10 feet reveal dense coral heads and tropical fish. Occasionally, visitors may spot sea turtles, lobsters, eagle rays, or eels. Snorkeling gear, life vests, and bottled water are provided. Next is a short boat ride under 10 minutes to Stingray City Sandbar, located 4 to 5 miles offshore. Here, guests spend about 35 minutes swimming alongside and feeding southern stingrays in water about 3 feet deep. Squid is supplied to feed the stingrays, and visitors can touch and interact with the animals. The final stop is Starfish Point, a quiet beach about 15 minutes by boat from Stingray City. Visitors have around 20 minutes to handle starfish in the shallow, clear water. The guides instruct on proper handling, and photography is allowed, but starfish must remain in the water. The tour includes bottled water, snorkeling equipment, life vests, and squid for feeding stingrays. Towels, sunscreen, and snacks are not included. Travel time includes a 15-minute bus ride from the cruise terminal or hotel to the boat dock, 30 minutes by boat to the first stop, 45 minutes by boat returning to the dock, and another 15-minute bus ride back.
