Stingray tour on Caymans?

Can someone recommend a tour company which would provide a good service for a stringray tour on Grand Cayman Island? Was try to search internet, but they have several companies, and you never know what to choose. Thanks!

There are several companies that provide Sting Ray city + snorekling tours. Here's a list of operators:

Captain Marvin's, Soto's, and Red Sail Sports are companies that get recommended a lot.

Here's are customer reviews regarding the trip with various operators. Might help you pick the company best for you.

We used Moby Dick Tours in January. They use a smaller boat so you are not in a crowd with the rays, they do not try to sell you photos and stuff, and are well-priced. Crew are very nice and helpful to your enjoyment of the site. Got them from outstanding reviews on tripadvisor.com

It is an experience but not that special. They feed the sting rays in the area and in turn they stay in that area all the time. At first they have an odfd feel but after a second feel you are comfortable with them. That is really the only attraction other than some snorkeling actually near stimg ray city to do other than to relax on the beach and eat at some decent to good over priced restaurants.

Thank you all! We went with Captain Marvin's company, and it was an interesting experience, however there were gazillion people on the boat, and then obviously all that crowd was after stingrays and then snorkeling in the same place...

I also agree that the island is more for relaxation at the beach and eating out. I mean, it was a great vacation, but not so much to do, the island is small, very flat, no mountains... Though at least less people than in Cancun, at least on Caymans it was a feel of nature and small area.
