Shore Excursions
Grand Cayman, Grander Adventures
Stingray submerge, rum point & mighty mangroves.
Coral Gardens & Stingray Sandbar Interaction
Hop aboard a motor coach for a short ride to a dock where your boat and crew will be waiting. You’ll cruise the North Sound’s beautiful waters to reach your first destination, the Stingray City sandbar where you will interact with the locals — Southern Stingrays. Your journey continues to Coral Gardens where you will snorkel around 8 ft deep waters to experience Grand Cayman's wonderful underwater marine life. After, you will cruise back to the dock and return to the port.
Rum Point & Starfish Point Beach
Start your adventure with a breezy boat ride to Starfish Point, a shallow sandbar where you’ll spot vibrant starfish nestled just below the surface. As you make your way ashore, enjoy a casual-style lunch with local bites served beachside. After lunch, the journey continues to Rum Point — where you’ll be dropped off at a shallow sandbar to hang out in the water and enjoy the scenery. Then, it’s a smooth sail back to port — salty, sun-kissed, and satisfied.
Mangrove Kayak Tour & Camana Bay
Nearby the peaceful shores of Camana Bay is a gorgeous mangrove forest teeming with a host of different species. A network of tangled roots are located below the surface, and on your kayak, you’ll paddle along different trails that have been naturally formed by the mangroves. You may spot parrots, turtles, and the occasional seahorse. After your tour, there will be free time to check out Camana Bay’s shops or the famous Seven Mile Beach before returning to the port.
