Had a great experience on this shore excursion! We didn't know it would be through Captain Marvin's, but they did a great job! Office was just across the street when we got off the cruise ship, they had a van that took us to the boat and then to the sting rays. The guides were great. You could tell they... More

We made a reservation the morning of our trip through our hotel and were picked up at our door. The bus driver was very informative on the way to Capt. Marvin's office to take our payment and rendezvous with the other passengers. We boarded at Capt. Marvin's residence where there are some HUGE iguanas wandering free, then headed for Stingray...

I've used various snorkel excursions in both Grand Cayman and other islands. Hands down, no one can beat this place. From beginning to end, it was fabulous. Nice boat. Fantastic crew. Everyone loves what they do and their energy is infectious. We've been home for over a week and we're still talking about it. Stop researching on the internet and... More

Excellent tour... We did a 4 hour tour and the guides took us to 2 spots for snorkeling in the beautiful crystal clear waters and stingray city. We had a comfortable ride in clean boats. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! I am a non- swimmer and Denver, the captain very very patiently took me through snorkeling and... More

I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting the island. Prompt responses, on time and great energy. I did the sting ray city sandbar and snorkel stop. Both experiences were absolutely amazing and we had plenty of time, in fact it seemed our boat was at both stops longer then the other ones. If you are on a... More

We used Captain Marvin's because we had heard only good things and everyone was right! We took their snorkel and Swim with the Stingrays excursion. Wow! what a trip. The stingrays were absolutely amazing - they come right up to you. If you kiss a stingray, you are suppose to have 7 years of good luck! We stopped 2 other... More

We took two trips on Captain Marvin's tour of Stingray City, Coral Gardens and the Reef on two consecutive days. They have a fleet of boats and I think they size the boat to the group. Our first was about 26 people, 1/3 kids in a medium size boat. It had a bathroom and shade and top deck. The day... More

Awesome, awesome and more awesome. From the check in process, to the short (but very entertaining/informative) taxi ride to the docks, to the actual tour itself.....complete satisfaction. The crew was super friendly, the water was beautiful and the sting rays, reef and coral gardens were amazing! Our photographer, Polo, was super friendly and ensured everyone got a photo done. We...

We did the two stop tour with our family. There were 10 of us and they had valet service at our condo. The three guys on the boat were very helpful as we had our 7 month old son with us. They did everything they could to help with our son including helping put him down for a nap when... More
