Best Excursion in Grand Cayman?

[baseballmom94]

We have 2 kids, ages 9 and 13. What is a good excursion in Grand Cayman for kids this age?

 

We were originally planning on the Stingray City tour but are a little afraid of that now -- what is an alternative?

 

Thanks in advance!

Just came back from Grand Cayman. Group of 6 (4 adults two kids 16+9 girls)

They too were REALLY afraid of String Ray trip but went anyway and had a great time. We walked from cruise ship right to Capt. Marvin's. (5 min walk). We signed up there and paid $40.00 instead of cruise ship $60.00. We had two snorkel stops and final StringRay City. IT WAS GREAT. Rays are like puppies and after you get through that initial surprise, it turns out to be a great trip. Capt. Marvin himself, at 90 yrs old, was the skipper of the boat and crew were in the water making sure everyone was ok. Old and young persons all had a great time.

How come you are afraid? I think this would be the best excursion for you. I will be taking DS10 when we go next January.

Well, my husband is an Emergency Physician and after the Steve Irwin incident, he is a bit paranoid even though he is a well-trained scuba diver. I would need a way to talk him into this one.

I know its been discussed before in other threads, but there is a difference between the animal (Giant Manaray i believe) that killed Steve Irwin and the Stingrays in Grand Cayman...If i can find the link i will post it here...should clear up some of your concerns.
