WHAT YOU VISIT
- Stingray Sandbar
Perched on the northwest corner of Grand Cayman's North Sound, Stingray City is home to a whole fleet of southern stingrays that congregate near the shore. As you enter the clear waters of their natural habitat, the graceful southern stingrays will glide slowly around you. (Snorkeling equipment, a snorkel vest, supervision, and food for rays are provided.)
- Barrier Reef
Located on the edge of the North Sound, the shallow reef is full of healthy corals and abundant schools of colorful sea creatures, including angel fish, blue tangs, parrotfish and turtles.
- Rum Point Beach
Named for the remnants of rum barrels once washed ashore from floundering ships, this picturesque beach on Grand Cayman's north side offers soft, white sand, swaying palm trees and time to dip your toes in the Caribbean's turquoise waters.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Have your camera ready as southern stingrays welcome you to their sandbar and "ask" for yummy treats.
LUNCH
A buffet lunch serves up island favorites like spicy red conch chowder, seasonal fruit cup topped with yogurt, conch fritters with scotch bonnet tartar sauce, jerk pork sandwich, blackened mahi-mahi sandwich with mango mayonnaise, sweet chili garlic or buffalo style Rum Point chicken wings, among other savory delicacies.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Feel the ocean breeze in your face and sun on your back as you cruise from the Cayman Island Yacht Club across the azure waters of picturesque North Sound to the Stingray Sandbar.
