Top Things to do in George Town
10 Tours in George Town That You Shouldn't Miss
Georgetown is the capital of the Cayman Islands and one of the most popular cruise ship destinations in the Caribbean, thanks to its year-round tropical weather, white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Don't miss Stingray City and diving and snorkeling near the coral reef. Georgetown offers plenty of duty-free shopping, restaurants and cafes. If you can pull yourself away from the beach, try an excursion to one of the West Indies' few remaining tropical rain forests.

Booked an excursion to Crystal Caves with this company. They asked us to change our original departure time and were late to pick us up at the hotel. The driver gave a brief explanation of the island but was hard to hear over the noise of the van and he didn't seem very enthusiastic. The ride to the Caves was about a half hour and the vehicle was air-conditioned. Driver waited when we went through Caves with a guide. On return, driver seemed like we bothered him when we returned as he was eating and he had to press a button to open the van door. Maybe he was having a bad day. Not very personable when others asked questions about the island and sites. We tipped him although we probably shouldn't have (hopefully his day got better after that) but he drove well and got us there and back safely.

We were in Grand Cayman during a week that the island was experiencing unusually strong winds and rough water and unfortunately we had to cancel our reservation with Cobalt Custom Charters as the weather did not improve enough for us to go. However, I still felt I should write a review to highlight the exceptional customer service and communication we received from the company. They kept us informed every day of the weather and tried each day to reschedule our trip. They were so apologetic about having to cancel and they issued a full refund. We will definitely book with them next time we're in Grand Cayman!

My husband and I did this on our honeymoon. It was SUCH a cool experience. We went on a day when there were no cruises, so it was not as busy as some people have mentioned.

The crew and staff at Captain Marvin's was amazing! We had the best time of our lives and I'm not exaggerating. The boat was fabulous- the captain allowed a few of us to ride up top with him which was incredible. The crew made sure we all had a personal experience with the stingrays (or as much as everyone wanted). The snorkel stop was excellent- we even ended up having a female stingray swim with us during our snorkeling. We hope to book with them again for next year. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Captain Marvin's!

The owners and crew made visiting Stingray City one of the best experiences of my life. I wanted to swim with the stingrays on my birthday and had booked a spot with a different company days before, but the night before the trip, that boat wasn't full enough and it was canceled. Fortunately I was able to get a spot with Rowan Water Sports at the very last minute and got to snorkel while the stingrays circled around being fed, held a giant stingray and took some amazing photos. Robert and the staff was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company and thank them for making my birthday so special!
