My son, husband, and I took private kitesurfing lessons from Kitesurf Cayman on the 2nd week of March 2020. It was a fantastic experience. Jhon (the owner) was very responsive, and coordinated and arranged our lessons before we arrived at Cayman. He is also an excellent instructor. Both Will and Jhon taught my husband who was a very good windsurfer for over 30 years. Now he has become a kiteboarder and was very happy to get IKO certification at the end of our trip. My son took lesson from Aryen and also got IKO certified after two classes. He had taken a couple of classes in Maui last year and he excelled fast this time and kitesurf beautifully. I took lessons from Aryen and Pedro and enjoyed to work with them very much. All of the instructors: Aryen, Will, Pedro, and John (also the owner) are excellent. They are very competent, kind, encouraging, patient, friendly, and passionate about their teaching. When we made progress, they cheered for us as they were taking the lessons. I can't say enough good thing about the whole team. The beach is one of the best kitesurfing beaches: clear, warm, and shallow water with the wind blowed everyday when we were there. We will come back again and bring new kitesurfing students next year :-) Thank you, Jhon, Aryen, Will, and Pedro. We hope to see you again next year.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time out on the boat with Captain Chris! Before we left the dock, Chris talked to us about the various options and what we would like to do as a family. We really liked that it was a personal experience and not a one-trip-fits-all kind of deal. Also, it was a bit windier than usual that day so he tailored our route so that we would still get to be out on the water and have a great experience. We really wanted to snorkel out in the reef so he first took us out to the somewhat deeper water. We saw a larger variety of fish and coral out in the reef than what we had seen snorkeling along the shore. Since it was a bit choppy due to the wind, we next visited the calm shallow waters of Starfish Point to relax a bit and cruised through the protected wildlife sanctuary. Then Chris convinced us to at least go to Stingray City even though we were a bit hesitant to go swimming with stingrays. We are so glad he did as it was an absolutely beautiful area and a one-in-a-lifetime experience! He went out first and let us all take our time to gradually swim over to the area where he was feeding the stingrays. We were impressed on how he was "friends" with the stingrays and had named each one of them. My kids later called him the "stingray whisperer." We also saw fish, sand dollars, and a variety of shells in the sand bar near the stingrays, and the water was the most beautiful aqua color I have ever seen. We really appreciated that Chris respected the sea life and was concerned about the environment, so much that he stopped a couple of times to pick up empty bottles floating in the water. He was very knowledgeable about the island, its history, and the stingrays and other sea animals. Thank you Chris for an extremely enjoyable morning out on the water that we will always remember! We hope to be back for another trip in the future!

My son has completed two rounds of snorkel camp with Cayman Snorkel. It has hands down been an unforgettable experience for him. He was nervous on his first day and now can tell me everything there is to know about snorkeling. Captain Jason may be his new favorite person and snorkeling is our sons favorite activity. I can't recommend snorkel camp and Cayman Snorkel highly enough. It has been an absolute pleasure for our son and our family. I will recommend Cayman Snorkel and captain Jason a million times over! Thank you for this amazing opportunity.

We had a wonderful time with Ike. He picked us up in a small van and took us to the Turtle Center, Hell, and a remote beach for snorkeling. There were just 4 of us so it was easy to ask questions. Ike was proud of his island and very knowledgeable about it. He took us to several scenic lookouts where bigger buses would not have been able to go. He took pictures for us and gave us water. We would recommend this excursion to anyone. Thanks, Ike.
