Highly Recommend - My husband and I had wonderful time! This was our first time taking a 3 hour private tour and we highly recommend. The boat was immaculate and well taken care of. Alex was polite and professional. His love for the island showed in his knowledge about marine life and other aspects of the island.

One of the best parts of our cruise. - We booked this directly without going through the cruise line. There were NO issues. We were met by a driver who took us directly to the Yacht Club. We saw so many stingrays! It was great having the boat/captain to ourselves!

Great Stingray tour. - The captain (Alex) great. He was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He was great with the sting rays and took extra time to make sure the children (3 and 6) had a great time. Owner was great also as he recommended change changing the dates of the charter due to high winds and provided us a new time on his own. This was great and our charter worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Island Splash Watersports and will use them again when I return.

My family and I had an... - My family and I had an awesome time on our private boat exploring the 3 different locations. The stingrays were truly an unforgettable experience, being surrounded by so many. The starfish point has minimal starfish, but the beach area itself was beautiful. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a spectacular part of the Cayman Islands.

Private boat - snorkel and sting ray and starfish - Excellent!!! First, Jason accommodated us last minute! (Thanks, Jason!). Our captain was Travis and he was great! Personable, easy going and friendly! Gave us a tour while heading out to the water. Patiently waited to put us on a great snorkeling spot! Tons of fish, two stint rays and a sea turtle from a distance. Then off to the coral reef which was also good fish spotting. Sting ray sand barrier was incredible. We saw a ton of sting rays. Got to feed them. (Keep your thumb tucked!). Got to hold them. Then off to starfish beach and the food boats! Really an awesome experience! Thanks, Travis and Jason!

A special afternoon! - We booked this excursion independently, and it was one of the most favourite trips of our Cruise. Alex was the perfect host and was friendly and informative throughout the entire afternoon. Because we were in a small group we had plenty of time with the stingrays and the time snorkelling was timed to our requirements. It was such a lovely afternoon that if we come to Grand Cayman in the future we will definitely do it again!
