Swim with stingrays Cayman
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting up close with majestic marine life, swimming with stingrays in Grand Cayman should be at the top of your bucket list. And no one does it better than Starliner Dream Tours—a locally-owned, family-run charter service that has been offering unforgettable wildlife encounters for over 25 years.
Why Swim with Stingrays in Grand Cayman?
Welcome to Stingray City, one of the world’s most famous shallow-water wildlife experiences. Located on a sandbar in the North Sound, this natural playground is home to dozens of friendly southern stingrays. The clear, waist-deep water makes it safe and accessible for guests of all ages.
With Starliner Dream Tours, the experience is elevated—private, unhurried, and tailored to you.
The Starliner Difference

- âś… Flexible scheduling to avoid cruise ship crowds
- âś… Personalized guidance and marine education from Captain David and crew
- âś… The opportunity to add snorkeling, Starfish Point, or a beach stop to your trip
