Stingray Frequently Asked Questions....

 

Is it dangerous to play with Stingrays? Could I get stung like Steve Irwin?

No...These stingrays are very friendly and have been hand fed by humans for over 35 years. They see large numbers of people on a daily basis..  Even though they are free to come and go they associate human interaction with free food and seem to love being in our arms.  Stingrays are not naturally aggressive.  However if a wild stingray is trapped and threatened,  the defensive action is to use it's barb or stinger located half way down the tail.   We show our stingrays the love they show us and handle them with the respect they deserve. 

How can I make a reservation?

Use our simple online reservation form.

Can I still book even though it's the last minute?

Yes....many people do and often get replies to their reservation while on the ship.

What do I need to tell you when I make a reservation?

The name of your ship or hotel, date and time of arrival and number of people.

Can I still reserve even though I'm not on a cruise ship?

Yes..We also cater to people staying in Grand Cayman. Reserve on line, mentioning the date you would like to book and where you are staying.

I can advise you on dates/time/ availability.  You can also telephone me on island at 925-5542.  Look for our rack cards in the hotels and condos or ask your concierge.

Where do I find out about the tour and prices etc?

What are the pro's and con's of your tour compared to the cruise ship offered tour?

Be sure to check out Cruise Critic or Trip Advisors for independent reviews from satisfied customers who have enjoyed our tours over the last 3 years..

If I go on your tour I'm worried I could miss my last tender.

We are very focused and aware of cruise departure times. No one taking our tour has ever missed their last tender.

Can my Grandfather and infant enjoy your tour?  Are their age limits?

No age limits. 9 weeks to 90 years, we have safely entertained them all. .

Can I still do this tour if I can't swim?

The stingray interaction is in about 3 feet of water.  We have snorkeling vests to permit the non swimmers to enjoy this portion as well.  We just ask that you know and respect your own limitations. It's a good idea to practice in a swimming pool/bath tub prior to arrival.

Will I get seasick on your boat?

No..Moby Dick is very wide and stable and doesn't roll.  We go into the waves on the way out and come back with them.  The North sound is very shallow, 10 feet maximum depth, and doesn't get very rough..

Is it safe to leave my stuff on the boat?

Yes..we are with our own personal group on the boat. People leave their belongings under the seats. No one outside our tour boards the boat
