STINGRAY CITY GRAND CAYMAN - "THE GIRLS" # 4

"LILLY" the stingray

Today is Lilly's turn!

We have previously introduced you to some of the stingrays at the Sandbar in Grand Cayman - today we talk to you about Dwayne's favourite girl.

Lilly the stingray puckers up for a kiss
Our excursion guests are amazed at how the stingrays recognise the different boats and  crew members, swarming over to meet their favourites! Dwayne has a soft spot for Lilly (and she for him) - she is such a gentle giant and really puckers up for those kisses.

This young adventure seeker on yesterday's tour was intrepid at first, but Lilly just patiently hung in there until the magic happened - we think they both deserve 7 years good luck!

Lilly is in excellent condition and has very few marks on her - life in the seas can leave a few scars.  However,  Lilly's gentle & sweet nature must affect everything around her - hence the almost flawless complexion!

We adore you Lilly - stay safe and happy!

STINGRAY CITY GRAND CAYMAN - and the luckless office staff!

TODAY SHOULD NOT BE A DESK DAY!

Every day in Grand Cayman is beautiful, but there are some days when this island just makes office staff want to burn their desks in protest at being left in the office....today is one of those days for sure!

Awesome conditions today - azure skies, just a breath of wind.......the Stingray Sandbar is going to be spectacular. The Caribbean waters at the snorkel site should be wonderfully clear. Add to this a number of "no-shows" (which is not nice for us, but great for our guests) means the boat is going to be extra spacious for the tour...awesome luck!

Captain Mario and the crew will be on great form - with smooth waters they have far less worry regarding the safety of our guests, and will get to relax with them which usually translates to great fun all round.

Hope our guests are having the time of their lives.....while us desk-people sulk!

STINGRAY CITY TOURS - AFTERNOON OR MORNING?

Myth versus reality


Stingray City Excursions
Stingray City Grand Cayman

Very often, cruise guests wishing to do excursions to Stingray City Sandbar do not have much choice with regards to the timing of their tour, as they are limited by the time their ship is in port.

However, guests staying at hotels and condominiums on island, are afforded more choice - morning and afternoon tours, and they should choose according to their own itinerary.

During high season (November through March) we are often faced with guests wishing to tour only in the afternoon - they have been informed to make this choice to avoid the "cruise crowds".

The irony is that because of this, we have often found the afternoons to be busier than the mornings

Our tours have 3 stops and are longer than most tours, so we have the flexibility to move on should we see one spot is too crowded, and then to mosey on back when the crowds have left. Captain Mario dislikes crowded spots as much as the guests, so he normally does a pretty good job of avoiding them.

Our advice? Stick to a tour that suits your mood - perhaps you prefer morning activity and afternoon rest, or you prefer to rise late and end the day with a sunset..........do what suits your preferences! And of course, choose a good operator........
