Snorkeling in Grand Cayman: Jetski to Stingray City

Stingrays rest in your hands at Stingray City, where the water is shallow enough to stand.

This 3-hour jetski snorkeling tour in Grand Cayman takes you to three stops: Stingray City, where you swim with Atlantic stingrays in shallow sandbars; Rum Point, a beach with calm turquoise water and snorkeling; and Starfish Point, a secluded beach where starfish rest along the shoreline. The tour includes pickup, a guide, life vest, snorkeling gear and all fees. Children from age 5 are welcome.

The experience

You drive your own jetski between three stops across Grand Cayman's North Sound, starting at Stingray City: a series of shallow sandbars where southern stingrays gather in abundance. The water here runs 3–4 feet deep, so you stand while the stingrays glide past and around you. You can touch them, watch them feed, and snorkel in the same water they inhabit. A guide leads the experience and handles the logistics. You bring only the willingness to get in.

From there you jetski to Rum Point, a laid-back beach with powder-white sand and calm turquoise water built for swimming and snorkeling. The beach has bars and facilities, so you can rest between water time if you want. The final leg takes you to Starfish Point, a quieter, secluded stretch where colorful starfish often rest along the shallow, clear bottom: another snorkeling moment in a different kind of water. The whole arc takes three hours, moving between sites by jetski and spending time in the water at each one.

Pickup is included from your hotel or accommodation, and you'll wear a life vest for the jetski portions. Snorkeling equipment (mask, fins, snorkel) comes with the tour. The guide speaks English and stays with the group throughout. Children from age 5 can join. Infants sit on an adult's lap during the jetski ride. The tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers.

Is this one for you?If you're staying without a car or prefer not to drive yourself to the water, pickup from your hotel means you arrive ready to ride. You operate the jetski between stops rather than sitting as a passenger, so the day is active from the moment you leave the dock.
