glorialagos Posted March 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well, we leave in less than two weeks and just heard that our first choice for the stingray excursion is unavailable (Acquarius). We now are looking for option two. Could anyone help? We are a group of 7. None of us really want to snorkel. We want a tour to visit stingrays and starfish. That's all. I have spent plenty of time of tripadvisor and see some possibilities, however they all include snorkeling. We are OK with that if that is our only choice. Any recommendations?

cb at sea Posted March 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just don't snorkel! You can swim about, or stay on the boat....we've done that when the only thing we want to do includes snorkeling, which I detest! So, I do something different while everyone else is doing their snorkeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorialagos Posted March 15, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's looking like our only option. Also, the excursion starts at 8:30. The ship arrives at 8:00 and it is a tender port. I can't imagine being able to make an 8:30 departure time. I hate to pay a cruise ship price for an excursion but just may have to do it on this one.

redxpanda Posted March 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Next week we are doing the Native Way tour with a starfish stop. We selected it because we do want a snorkel stop, but you could opt to stay on the boat or jump in for a swim.

crossfitmama Posted March 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2017 have you considered doing a private charter? https://grandcaymancruiseexcursions.com/excursion/grand-cayman-stingray-city-starfish-beach-snorkeling-outrage-ecotour/ . We did this tour, the Outrage and you can pick what you do. We did stingray city, starfish beach and lunch at Rum Point. We LOVED this trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorialagos Posted March 20, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted March 20, 2017 We found one that we know we'll enjoy. It includes snorkeling but we can decide if we want to snorkel or not. It was difficult to find one with starfish at this late date. I will report back after we return. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorialagos Posted April 3, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We're back!!!! Grand Cayman was our favorite stop! We ended up going with Eco Tours and were so glad we did. We began with snorkeling and we actually all enjoyed it. The stingray experience is a bucket list item for sure - just amazing. Starfish was just OK, there were not a ton around and when a group would find some, they tended to latch on for a very long time. Still, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
