Swim with the Sting Rays and feed them. They are a bit intimidating but once you are in the water you'll be ok. Bring a water camera, this is something you do not want to pass up. If you can try to book your tour with a combo that includes Seven Mile Beach. more

My wife and I were on a western Caribbean cruise in early December and we were in Grand Cayman on December 16 (my birthday). Friends of ours did the stingray tour a few years back and highly recommended it so my wife booked with Stingray Sailing. We were picked up at the port by Chip only to learn that we... more

We visited Grand Cayman by way of Carnival Liberty in Dec 08. While conducting research on-line for activities to do I noted that Stingray City was a very popular activity. However, the research indicated the tours booked on the cruise ships were always very crowded. I found some comments regarding Stingray Sailing operated by Chip Whitney. Further investigation gave me... more

My husband and I just returned from a cruise to the Western Caribbean which included a stop in Grand Cayman. Being able to visit Stingray City and experience the stingrays has been one of my “bucket list” items for a number of years, but I didn’t want to book through the cruise line and be on one of those “cattle... more

I went on the Rays, Reef and Rum Point tour thru Native Way after reading extensive reviews. I was not dissappointed! We boarded the boat right on time and had a very small group of 9 people. The crew brought out a large ice chest with punch and water for everyone. We had a nice boat ride out to Stingray... more

TIme is precious while you are on vacation. We decided to give Dexter's Fantasea Tours a try after reading a review that he gets you to Stingray City sooner than anyone else. When we disembarked from our cruise ship we looked all over for Dexter. He was a no-show. After asking around where he picked up, we were finally taken... more

I recently jet skied to stingray City Sandbar and even though I had gone once already, I found this new experience the most exhilarating yet. When my friend Dalia told me we would be going to Stingray City with Jet Ski, I was excited by the fact that this would be an experience out of the ordinary boat trip. Dalia,... more

My mom (70+) years young, located "stingraysailing.com" before we went on our cruise. We booked this tour and were thrilled that the price was half the cost of the cruise lines brochure price. When we arrived in Grand Cayman, we found the blue "stingray sailing tours" sign held by Chip Whitney. He had a red bandana on his head and... more

My boyfriend and I traveled to Grand Caymans with another couple in January of 2008. I had already researched Stingray City to the nines before we left and was convinced I was going to do it, regardless of the fact that everyone else I was traveling with protested to wanting to go. We arranged a tour with a woman who... more

A couple of weeks ago, my family went on a Carnival cruise of the Western Caribbean. I pre-booked excursions that were not part of Carnival's program. Our tour was with Chip Whitney of Stingraysailing.com. We took his catamaran with 24 other people to Stingray City. He provided us with snorkeling equipment and life jackets that were in good condition, free... more
