natalie2727 Posted July 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I am getting ready to book one of Captain Marvin's Stingray City and snorkeling tours (thanks to all of you here who recommended it). I am not sure whether to book the full-day tour (9:30-2:30) that provides lunch at the Kaibo Yacht Club, or the half-day tour (10-1) and get our own lunch elsewhere. Has anyone had experience with the full day tour, and would you recommend the lunch? It costs $65 vs. $40 for the half-day tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl&vesta Posted July 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2007 We were there in June with a waverunner excursion. I've copied in my post from another thread The hot foot was a little pricey although I can't remember exactly what they had or how much it was. We went next door and bought a can of pringles. At the Kaibo Yacht Club Beach Bar, I had a bananaberry daquari for $6.25 and my husband had a screwdriver for $5.25. I'm looking at our receipt right now and the register did the $ conversion. It says Liquor Sales: 11.50/ Total paid US $ 20/ Cash $16.00/change due $4.50 which was paid in Cayman $. We used $3.20 of the change and bought a can of Pringles at the little shop next door. Basically, we ended up paying $20 US for 2 drinks and a can of pringles and were left with $1.30 Caymanian as change(souvenier) http://www.eandbcaymans.com/Cayman%20Kai.htm This link will take you to a Cayman's page. If you scroll about half way down there's a heading Kaibo Yacht Club and the picture right below it is the beach bar. The actual place to order drinks, etc, is right under where the white sign is hanging on the lower level. It is all open with tables, etc underneath or out on the sand. My DH says he could have spent 1/2 day there. I'm not sure doing what...it is just a place to sit and watch. There may have been some "action" around the property but we didn't venture away from the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalie2727 Posted July 11, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Vesta, thanks for the good info! I think we'll probably take the early 2 1/2 hour tour and go to the beach in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted July 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Vesta, thanks for the good info! I think we'll probably take the early 2 1/2 hour tour and go to the beach in the afternoon. Just a quick note...you're going to find the food prices expensive everywhere on the island. An extra $25 for the extra time plus lunch is actually a pretty good deal. You're going to spend $15+ a person CAYMAN for lunch in any of the sitdown restaurants, at least. You might want to read some of the food and restaurant threads in this forum for more prices and menu discussions, and then make your decision about whether the extra $25 is worth it or not.

drakes2 Posted October 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Our family of 7 is booked on Carnival Visa in February with a stop in GC. We want to take Captain Marvin's 2 stop snorkel trip with lunch at Kaibo Yacht club but pricey at $75 pp. Does anyone know what the lunch consists of and is the fish local. Twin 15 year old boys are fussy eaters and do not like seafood. Thinking we may just end up doing the 3 stop snorkel trip. Any advice would be most appreciated.

bookbabe Posted October 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I've eaten at Kaibo a lot. The food is generally pretty good. No idea what's on the set menu offered via Captain Marvins, but here's their regular lunch menu. I'm sure your teens would like the burgers. http://kaibo.ky/kaibomobile/beach_menu.php Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It's true...GC is one of the most expensive countries...nothing is cheap or a "bargain"...just be forewarned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just reading Captain Marvin's website and there's a notation that you can substitute BBQ chicken if you're not a fan of fish. Perhaps your boys would prefer that.

Mgetta1 Posted November 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Our group of 4 have booked the stingray tour with lunch at Kaibo. In season (Nov-Mar) besides lunch you also have an additional stop where they dive for Conch and you can help. The conch is served marinated with lunch and families can take a cleaned Conch shell home. Sounded kind of interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
