Stingrays, h**l & Turtle Farm Tours in Grand Cayman?

Question

I am going on the carnival cruise this January

and i went on the website

but i can't book the thing until a week from now.....

so how much does it cost to go there per person in american dollars and it is the Grand Cayman, Stingrays, h**l, & Turtle Farm Tour.

Answer 1

You definitely don't need to do a ship excursion for those activities in Grand Cayman, although I suppose it might be easier.  I haven't done the turtles or h**l, as I'd read they're not really worth the bother. YMMV.

The stingrays are awesome, however.  There are many companies you can book a trip with, including Captain Marvin and Nativeway.  I've done both and preferred the latter, partly because that trip also went to Rum Point [wow!].  You will get a much better experience with these smaller companies than with the cruise excursions - many fewer people, and it will also cost less.  GC is completely safe and easy to do.  The big thing to remember is to BE SURE and get back to the tender port well ahead of time.  The ship won't wait for you if you're late unless you're on one of their excursions.

Go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards", then go to "Ports of Call" for much more info on these excursions and those in your other ports of call.  Great, reliable info from experienced cruisers.

Answer 2

Sorry, I don't remember the cost, but I can tell you it's worth it!  The stingray thing was the best thing I've ever done (and I've traveled a lot!).  They are like dogs, begging for food.  They swim right up your body/chest since they know you have squid for them to eat.  h**l is a neat looking place, and you get to hold the turtles at the turtle farm.  Sorry I'm not technically answering your question, but I wanted to make sure I told you that you should do it no matter the cost!

Answer 3

i would call carnival to ask them about the tours.

i would also go onto cruisecritic.com and find out tour info from there.

best wishes.
