What Makes These Tours Eco-Friendly?
Starliner Dream Tours is committed to sustainable marine tourism by following best practices that protect Cayman’s fragile ecosystem. Here’s how they do it:
Low-Impact Touring
- Small private groups only — no mass tourism means fewer disturbances to wildlife and reefs.
- Slow cruising speeds in shallow areas to reduce wake erosion and seabed disruption.
- Anchor-free zones — they use mooring buoys when available to avoid damaging coral reefs.
Eco-Conscious Crew
- Captains and crew are trained in marine life awareness and conservation, often educating guests on responsible behavior in natural habitats.
- Encouragement of “Look, don’t touch” practices—especially at spots like Starfish Point and Stingray City.
Sustainable Gear & Supplies
- Use of reef-safe sunscreen on board and guidance for guests to do the same.
- Reusable drinkware and limited plastic use.
- Proper disposal and recycling of all onboard waste.
