Grand Cayman Stingray City, Barrier Reef & Coral Gardens Snorkel

A morning on Grand Cayman’s North Sound takes you from the shallow waters of Stingray City to two very different snorkeling experiences beneath the Caribbean. Begin at the famous Stingray City sandbar, where the water is typically no deeper than five feet and southern stingrays glide through the clear water in their natural habitat. Then put on your mask and fins and head beneath the surface. Unlike tours that include a single reef stop, this experience gives you time to snorkel at both the Barrier Reef and Coral Gardens, with approximately 30 minutes at each location to explore coral formations, tropical fish, and other marine life. From standing on a shallow Caribbean sandbar to snorkeling two of Grand Cayman’s best-known reef environments, the scenery keeps changing throughout the morning. Whether you’re visiting for the day on a cruise or staying on the island, it’s a great way to experience the North Sound both above and below the water.
