Deion is very knowledgeable about the island and completely catered each stop to us and made the most of our boat trip! Ask him to take you to Kaibo. They have awesome food and drinks. The bartender Charles is great! Deion had amazing recommendations, and we couldn’t recommend him enough. If you want to have the best boat day go with Deion and his team!

One of the best tours ever. Our captain Austin was so helpful and knowledgeable. Great communication before as well. My two and four year old even enjoyed the boat and time in the water.

If you’re looking for the best boat tour in Grand Cayman, ask for Deion! He made our day absolutely unforgettable. He knew all the best spots around the island and somehow always seemed to find places that weren’t overcrowded.
The highlight of the day was Stingray City. Our younger son was pretty nervous about the stingrays, but Deion was amazing with him. He helped him feel completely safe without ever pushing him. Deion took us to a spot where we not only saw beautiful fish but also sea turtles, which was such an unexpected bonus.If you’re deciding on a boat tour, don’t hesitate to book with Deion. His knowledge, relaxed personality, and genuine care for making sure everyone has a great experience made this one of the best excursions we’ve ever done. We would book with him again in a heartbeat!

We had so much fun on this trip! Liam was a wonderful captain! We just wanted to snorkel so he took us to the most beautiful places!

Great customer service and attention to detail. Explained everything in detail,took his time and went above and beyond

This is the ONLY way to do the Biobay. Captain Deion was fantastic! Born and raised local, knows the best spots, had us pumped and engaged the whole time. Skip the kayaks and get in the water with this tour. You’ll be mesmerized. Go with the 9pm booking. We were the ONLY ones there.

Awesome experience! Alex was such a great host, knew the islands well, and took great care of us. Visiting three locations was like having three excursions in one! Stingray City was an amazing experience even for the most tentative people in our group. Highly recommended.
Genevieve_Z, Jun 2026
Great experience! So much better than going on a crowded boat. Awesome guide who really knows the island!

Liam was waiting at the dock when we arrived and he was amazing from start to finish! He was very accommodating and he was very knowledgable about the area, sea-life, and cayman island. You can tell he really enjoys his job and he was a great activity leader! He took pictures for us whenever we asked and he was such a joy to be around! Thanks Liam! 10/10 highly highly recommend!

Thank you to our knowledgeable captain, Deion! He brought us to the best spots and helped avoid the rain and the crowds. We still had some rain, but he was able to take us to different areas to avoid rain the whole trip. His ability to spot turtles was incredible! The boat was clean and safe. Great snorkel equipment. Would recommend!

Swimming in bioluminescence bay was an amazing experience. We went with a private charter because we didn't want to go with a bigger group at night. We are so glad we did! Liam was an excellent captain and was flexible with the timing of our tour. He didn't rush us at all, letting us spend as much time in the water as we wanted. He even took great pictures for us. It really is a magical experience and something we had never done before.
Polina_L, Mar 2026
Such a nice and attentive captain who provided an amazing experience for us without feeling rushed anywhere throughout our trip! Would highly recommend!
Kim_M, Mar 2026
Wonderful experience. The captain was super knowledgeable and took us to an incredible spot to snorkel. We also saw the starfish and then went to stingray city. I’m glad we chose a private experience. It was worth it
Carmen_G, Feb 2026
While there isn’t much prep info given about this trip, the over-all experience was sensational. I recommend getting in touch with the tour guide early on, so you can have clarity about what to expect and what to bring with you.

Captain Ed gave us the most enjoyable experience. We had the best snorkeling - just loads of different kinds of fish. And a memorable experience with Stubbie the stingray!
Gigi_F, Dec 2025
We had an amazing time, it was just our family of 7 and the captain and it was super enjoyable. We saw starfish and stingrays and snorkeled around a reef that was a favorite of our captains. 5 of us had already done stingray city but 2 of us were new, and it was the best experience for them. The captain was super knowledgeable and friendly and we felt very calm and safe in the water with the stingrays. I would do it again, and I preferred the private charter over the group tour with everyone else, it was calmer.

Boat ride out is very rough. Bring a seat cushion if you’ve got back issues.
Captain Ed made it our experience and gave us plenty of time at stops. Enjoyed interacting with the rays.
Haley_E, Nov 2025
Highly recommend this excursion! Mark our guide was amazing and informative. He took us to see stingrays, starfish, and snorkel - away from where all of the cruise ship tours go. 3 hours was a perfect amount of time and the boat comfortably fit six of us. Would definitely book again!
TIFFANY_G, Oct 2025
Our captain was amazing... we were running late due to traffic. The Captain was super understanding and didnt cut into our tour time. He was very knowledgeable about the island. We had an unforgettable time snorkeling, seeing star fish and touching and holding the stingrays. Highly recommend!!
Julie_D, Sep 2025
Excellent experience! The boat captain grew up on the island and was a wealth of knowledge. He snorkeled with us to show us everything we wouldn’t have noticed. He was very patient for my anxiety around the sting rays. Cannot recommend more!
Precious_M, Sep 2025
It was great! Mark was friendly and it was good to be with someone who really cared and knew the stingrays. The stingrays knew him too (especially tattoo). It was an amazing experience. We learned a lot about the island during our trip. The chicken wings at Pirate Grill were delicious and the family was lovely. Definitely worth the money.

An amazing experience…despite a few hiccups on our end! Was the highlight of my family’s trip to the Caribbean. We were on a 7 day Disney cruise and decided to take a chance and book non-Disney excursion for our party of 7. Our cruise ship unfortunately had a medical emergency and was diverted to the keys instead of GC. I was so worried bc our WiFi wasn’t working and we were coming in to GC port delayed. Then our taxi driver got a little lost getting to Aqua Restaurant. Despite all these issues our Ray Dayz captain was waiting for us. Also despite the shortened time our captain made an amazing itinerary keeping in mind the time frame and that our little one can get motion sickness and the waters were choppy that day. We went to see the sea stars and were able to buy amazing chicken from a pirate boat as a lunch since we got in late, then went to a low key spot to see and hold rays. Was truly magical and the 6 and 8 year old haven’t stopped talking about the magical trip!! Love the 24h cancellation policy with Viator, much more forgiving then disneys policy. The boat was clean and had spot for dry storage and a cooler with ice to hold our water bottles. Our captain was a true local with a wealth of knowledge. Definitely recommend!!

We booked a 4 hour private charter with Lazy Dayz Charters and were greeted by Mark, our Captain! He took us to Sting Ray City for a personalized experience that could not have been matched! He knows the Sting Rays so well that he was able to call “Bella” over and she hung out with us for a long time. All of us in the family were all able to kiss her for “good luck” before she took off. I’ve been on the same excursion with a larger charter service but appreciated the personal 1:1 experience that Mark delivered. Mark is a total professional, caymanian born native that knows the island and the water. We felt comfortable as we continued our charter to the coral reef, and Star Fish Point! We got a Mudslide and the amazing chicken wings from the food boat at Star Fish Point. Best wings on the island and the Mudslide was BOMB! We loved our day so much we asked to extend our tour to do the Bioluminescence Bay and he was accommodating for an additional fee! It was the perfect 10/10 night to see the Bioluminescence! We had dinner at Kaibo before we left to Bio Bay! I don’t think we could have had a better experience. A total dream.

Liam was awesome. We had a great time with the stingrays, snorkeling and at starfish beach. He answered a lot of questions has a great personality was great with the kids as well. Everyone in the family from my Father in law, mother in law, wife and 3 children all held a stingray. The experience is a memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you for such a great time.
Carolyn_M, Jul 2025
Our family of six had a wonderful afternoon boating with Mark. He let us guide him as to what we wanted to do and see. We hit the highlights in the Cayman’s-snorkeling at Rum Point Reef, holding starfish at Starfish Point and mingling with the stingrays at Stingray City. Mark educated us on the island and its sea life, and let us feed the stingrays, hold them, and kiss them (for 7 years of good luck!) Mark was a fantastic guide! We would highly recommend this private boating excursion for any group!
Rinaldi_S, Jul 2025
Such an amazing experience! Definitely worth it. Went with our 10 month old and 2 year old and Liam was very accommodating to their (our) needs.
Liam is an amazing guide and took us to see all three locations. He provides all the equipment so you’re able to see the beauty under the ocean.
Just book it, you won’t regret it!
Mark_H, Jul 2025
Liam did a great job. Personal boat and great tour of Sting Ray City and starfish point. Very laid back and on our schedule. He even stopped at dock bar for drinks.
Matt_B, Jul 2025
Mark did an awesome job! The stingrays were so amazing. Clear communication and they answered the phone when you call. Great experience!
Jennifer_H, May 2025
It was just my husband and I and we had a great time. Liam was on time and so pleasant the entire time. I had asked to go to the stingrays, the starfish, turtles and coral gardens and indeed we did it all in a super chill Grand Cayman manor. We never felt rushed or crowded. Liam was knowledgeable and above all we felt very safe the entire time. We brought our own Snorkling masks but only because we chose to, otherwise Liam had all other gear ready for us.
