53 tours in Grand Cayman, from €20 to €359 per person, average rating 4.9 based on 13178 reviews.
Grand Cayman tours are one idea done many ways: a boat into the North Sound to stand with the stingrays on the sandbar, a snorkel at Coral Gardens and a wade at Starfish Point, by shared boat or private charter, and after dark the same sound glows for the bio bay tours. We picked 53 tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a shared Stingray City trip from €20 per person; the most expensive are private charters priced per boat for a half day.
Ships anchor off George Town and tender in, so cruise passengers pick the listings that name the tender pier and a return time; hotel guests on Seven Mile Beach get the same boats from the North Sound marinas with pickup. The sandbar needs calm water and operators move to the west side or reschedule when the wind is up, which happens in winter. A private boat for six often costs little more than six shared seats.
