Climb aboard on the Ultimate Stingray City Eco Tour Adventure in Grand Cayman!  Our 33ft Inflatable rib can take you anywhere your group or family wants to go!  This is truly the ATV of the sea!

Our Custom Eco-Tours can take you to all the popular and unique destinations with the flexibility, comfort and speed offered by no other vessel currently servicing the Cayman waters!

The boat is ideal for families or groups who would like to enjoy a day away from the cruise ship crowds and see the true natural beauty of the Cayman Islands both above and below the water. 

Our Signature 1/2 day Private tour, 3 hours, will take you to the Stingray City Sandbar where you can experience the stingrays and interact with them in shallow water. Snorkeling gear and food for the rays is included. Following this stop we will head to Starfish Beach where you can lounge in the calm shallow waters or hunt for starfish and shells for great photo opportunities.  The Star Fish may not be taken, but may be held for fantastic photos  Upon your return to shore you will be taken through pristine hidden Mangrove channels in the center of the Island for an unprecedented tour of our ecosystem.  The Mangrove eco-system of Grand Cayman will give you the chance to admire exotic birds, wild Iguanas and during mating season massive Sea Turtles!  An informative narration of all your exotic surroundings will be provided by your personal Guide throughout the tour.

You may also opt for the 5.5 hour Full Day Private Stingray City Adventure where you will have the vessel all to yourselves for 5.5 hours!!!  Visit the Stingray City Sandbar, Starfish Beach, snorkel the Barrier Reef, a beach break at Kaibo Beach Club where you may opt for lunch, drinks and some R&R.  Lunch is not included in the price but you will be given the opportunity to enjoy a true local favorite beach restaurant.  The Mangrove Eco-Tour is of course also given on the Full Day tour completing your excellent day in Grand Cayman!

The Choice is yours: The above tour itineraries can be altered to your taste, if you prefer more snorkeling and less beach we can do it!  More beach and less snorkeling?  You got it!  Would you prefer Rum Point Beach over the Kaibo Beach Club?  Why not!  The excursion is private and can mend to your every desire in order to provide the ultimate customer satisfaction and flexibility. 

What exactly is a Zodiac?  A Zodiac is truly a generic name for this type of vessel.  Zodiac is "a brand name" (and a very fine brand at that!) and pretty much the same as one asking for "a coke" in everyday jargon.  Zodiacs, or otherwise known as "RIBS" (Rigid Inflatable Boats) in England, are inflatable vessels with fiberglass hulls.  This type of vessel, first invented by the US Navy, provides a smooth ride over any type of wave height.  Because the North Sound is generally a very calm protected area and a Rib which can travel at max speed over 25ft waves (sometimes even bigger seas, this vessel is used by search and rescue teams World Wide due to it's incredible capabilities!) provides a super fast, extra smooth ride over this super calm area in Grand Cayman.  Powered by Twin  250 Horsepower Mercury Racing Engines and an incredibly shallow draft passengers can be brought right on top of the Stingray City Sandbar in as little as 2.5ft of water!  Traveling where no other vessel can travel at incredible speeds (clocked at over 55 MPH!!!) this vessel truly adds excitement to your voyage! 

All Zodiacs (Ribs) are different:  Because all Ribs are custom built not many are alike.  Some are custom built for Whale Watching, some custom built for the Coast Guard for search and rescue, while some are built for passenger's comfort and space, this being the case with our Rib.  With a long illustrious history this particular Rib was used for the French Americas Cup in 1995 as a tendering vessel, used for the filming of The Pirates of the Caribbean (That's right, Johnny Depp actually sat on this boat!) as well as used for the Maxi Racing Yachts 80ft sailing vessels.  Did we also mention this boat is very, very fast?

So, hold on to your hats during the speedy segments of this tour, (From shore to Stingray City in under 10 minutes anyone?)  bring your camera for incredible photo opportunities, perfect for children of all ages due to the vessel's setup, this is the excursion you will never forget!

What is up with all the kids??  The pictures above were taken during the Tour tryout, Mikey brought his son (while mom was home with their newborn twins) Neil and Lynda brought along their kids while myself and my wife Tracy had our 2 children.  As with all excursions tryouts kids of all ages are taken on excursions in order to assure compatibility for families, safety for children as well as a tour rating from kids.  This particular tour received a two thumbs up from all children who had a blast cruising at Mach 5, as well as enthralled with the stingrays, mangroves and the Iguanas.  The beach stop was also an exciting event for all, finding 5 starfish within seconds made the hunt too easy!

This tour is perfect for families as well as a group of adults, of course the boat's speed is adjusted according to the passenger's makeup and age, but I have to say that the children would not stop screaming "FASTER!!!!" on the way back from this fantastic excursion.
