Stingrays & Sunsets Grand Cayman Trip
Topping our list is a magical trip to Stingray City, a major bucket list item for visitors to Grand Cayman. This sandbar is one of the few places on earth where you can swim among gentle stingrays, even giving them a light kiss for good luck!
On our Stingrays and Sunsets Tour in Grand Cayman, we cruise into the calm, golden-lit waters of Stingray City during the quieter evening hours, giving families a more intimate and peaceful interaction with the rays. It’s our shortest Stingray City tour, meaning younger kids won’t tire out as quickly. Once you’ve experienced a magical sunset and arrived back in port, you can enjoy an early night in after an exciting close to the day.

Grand Cayman North Sound Eco‑Safari
If you and the kids are feeling adventurous, our Grand Cayman North Sound Eco-Safari is unmissable. This three-stop eco-adventure visits Stingray City, followed by a coral reef for some snorkelling, and concludes at tranquil Starfish Point, where hundreds of starfish lie in the shallows!

Gear up with snorkel equipment provided on board, and dive into the crystal-clear waters for exceptional encounters with the marine world! This trip is perfect for kids who love animals, providing them a safe opportunity to see them in the wild.

USS Kittiwake & Reef Snorkelling Tour
Our USS Kittiwake and Reef Snorkelling tour delivers a double dose of marine wonder. We start by snorkelling above the iconic USS Kittiwake wreck, a shallow, 251-ft submarine rescue ship sunk as an artificial reef. Its highest point is just 15 feet below the surface, making it easily accessible to beginner snorkelers.
We then glide onto a nearby reef teeming with colourful marine life for even more relaxed snorkelling. With equipment included, it’s ideal for introducing kids to underwater exploration without venturing too deep.
Bonus: Grand Cayman Banana Boat Ride
While not a sailing trip, our banana boat ride in Grand Cayman offers an extra burst of family fun! Children ages 5 and up can hop on this inflatable banana raft and hold on tight while being towed by a speedboat off Seven Mile Beach, providing just the right amount of adrenaline and laughter-packed excitement. All riders wear life vests, and our experienced staff ensures a memorable, safe thrill for groups up to 10.
