Reef & Wreck Snorkel Tour

  • Reef & Wreck Snorkel Tour
Experience two of Grand Cayman's beautiful snorkeling destinations that are suitable for both experienced snorkelers and beginners.
The excitement begins on a short boat ride to a nearby reef. After your guides provide snorkeling and safety tips and the captain anchors the boat, grab your gear and dive into the crystal blue water. You’ll view coral formations and a variety of tropical fish along the shallow reef below. Only a short distance away is The Cali, a ship (now wreck) that sank in about 20-30 ft of water, and where you’ll snorkel around its ghostly remains. After the second stop you’ll be driven back to the port.

Shore Thing Highlights

  • Take in the sights of George Town on a quick boat ride from the port to two nearby snorkeling sites

  • Just off the coast you'll get to see an abundance of sergeant majors, blue tang, parrot fish, and many others

  • Snorkel above a shipwreck that sank in 20-30ft/6-9m of water — not only will you see the remains, but tarpon and turtles have been spotted here, too

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
