On this tour you will see:
• Stingray City
• "Hell"
• Turtle farm
• Seven Mile Beach
• George Town (shopping time and sightseeing)
This all-encompassing tour begins as you take a boat ride to Stingray City, where you will be able to get out of the boat and stand on the shallow sandbar and interact with the stingrays. You will not believe how gentle and friendly these creatures are!
Once back on land, you will also ride to Hell and back, encountering the most eerie and craggy limestone formations--after seeing this you will understand how it was named as such.
Also included is a stop at the Turtle Farm at Boatswain's Beach (pronounced BO senz), where you will see four species of sea turtle, from hatchlings to full-grown breeding adults, and learn some of the natural history of these incredible animals.
To top off this thorough tour, you will stop at a beautiful and quiet section of Seven Mile Beach for an authentic Cayman-style lunch, which will include fish, chicken, rice, potato salad, mixed vegetables, and iced tea or lemonade.
After the tour, you will return to the capital of George Town, where you will be able to shop, visit one of the many rum cake stores, or wander through the historic Heroes Square area where you will see the Legislative Assembly, original Town Hall, Town Clock, Courts Building, and Library.

GRAND CAYMAN...K Patino |
| I just want to say that it was absolutely great. The tour guides were wonderful, very friendly and informative. We took the Best of Grand Cayman tour, which included lunch on the beach. That experience was great. We had a traditional Cayman lunch(which was very good) and right after I jumped into the ocean. The water was spectacular. I would not change a thing and would recommend it to anyone. We also got to meet the Captain when we came back from the stingray's and snorkeling, that was cool to meet the guy who started it all. |

| We enjoyed our ShoreTrips excursion in Grand Cayman. It was a good combination of water activities and a tour of some of the highlights of the island. The staff on the boat was helpful and explained things clearly. It was obvious that they wanted everyone to have a good time. Our guide for the land portion was knowledgeable and friendly. The turtle farm was especially interesting, and she let our group stay longer because everyone was enjoying it. |

| We truly enjoyed our day trip to the Grand Caymans. We easily found our way from the ship on foot to meet our guide. We were surprised to see my name displayed on a greeting sign with directions to cross the street to meet in a local shop. Our guide was very pleasant and welcoming and took us to each stop as described in the ad. The boat adventure to Sting Ray City was awesome! When we returned to the marina, our guide was there to greet us and take us across the island to a small local cafe for lunch. The meal was great. We had local fish served with island spices and rice and beans. The flavors were fantastic. The homemade lemonade was just like Mom's. Our pictures were awesome and there was a professional photographer there to make sure we had our perfect memories recorded. I would recommend your trip to all ages who can swim. |

| Most excellent excursion!!! When we compared with other people on the ship who had booked their stingray adventure thru the ship there was no comparison. We did far more than them. Our guides were excellent and well informed. Thanks-we will book again thru Shoretrips for next year. |

| We loved our trip to stingray city. The entire day was great. We enjoyed the turtle farm and our visit to hell. The lunch we had at the restaurant on the beach was delicious! I really didn't expect the food to be so good. The tour guides and boat crew very great too. I will recommend this trip to my friends and we're looking forward to some future trips with you as well. Thanks for a great tour. |

| My clients had a wonderful time. It was one of the highlights of their trip. They loved the personal attention, small size of the group. The tour guide was phenomenal. They will definitely do another Shore Trips excursion. |

| We had a great time with the Best of Cayman with Stingray City and Lunch! The tours were great and lunch was delicious! The beach where we ate was also very pretty and the kids loved the waves there. We wish we would have had more time at the beach. |

| Just a quick note to let you know how happy we were with our excursions booked through your service. I had booked a tour on Grand Cayman which included Stingray City and the Turtle Farm. It was a unexpected surprise when my wife and kids got to go on a brief snorkeling trip as well!!! The guides were very good. We also booked the 2-stop snorkeling excursion in Cozumel, but the weather didn’t cooperate. When we returned from our trip we had an email from your company stating that a refund would be processed due to the cancellation of the Cozumel excursion. That’s what I call service! We would certainly plan on using Shore Trips in the future. It was great having smaller groups and more personalized attention. We also bought the DVD from the stingray and snorkeling excursion. It was professionally done and provides a long lasting memory of a great vacation. |

| We went on a chartered trip to Sting Ray City---It was a beautiful trip. There were 9 of us on board, we each had a lot of quality time with the rays. They were beautiful and the interaction with them was unbelievable. The crew educated us and the nature of the rays, where the stinger was, how to tell male and female and made us feel very comfortable. We fed them and feeling the suction power they had was unimaginable. There was a nearby cruise ship tour, which had I am guessing very close to 100 people on it. They were all in the water, I bet they did not get the one on one time that we got on our tour, and I am sure it was a chaotic mess. I am very happy that we chose an off ship excursion company. The guides were very aware of the time we needed to be back and made sure we had enough time to enjoy the whole island. Tour guide took us to the Turtle farm, which was the highlight of the tour for me. I am crazy about turtles and would do anything to save them. There were turtles in there I have never seen. They have a beautiful beach that you can swim with turtles and fish--we were not allowed the time to do this due to the rest of the tour, but If I had to do it over again, I would give this place more time. We held the turtles and didn't realize how incredibly heavy they were--a three year old weighed approx 50-65 lbs. Then our guide took us to a local restaurant with a beautiful outdoor patio with the ocean foot steps away. He told us history of the Island, his close and horrifying experience with Hurricane Ivan, and much more. He was the best tour guide ever. Very personable and welcoming. It felt like being around one of the gang--very comfortable. We ate lunch,went swimming,drank local beer, swam some more. This was an excellent investment in money well spent. We all had and awesome time, and would recommend this trip and tour company hands down. |

| We actually booked four excursions through you and we had a wonderful time. GRAND CAYMAN-we booked the Stingray City Tour Combo which included the turtle farm and Hell, as well as lunch. It was awesome. The other tours that had been booked through the cruise line were huge and our group was about 10 people. During the Stingray City portion, we had three guides including a scuba diver that videotaped us interacting with the stingrays. We were able to feed and hold the stingrays and even kiss them if you wanted to. Then we were taken back to the shore and we were transported to the turtle farm which was really neat. We also were able to hold and pet the baby turtles. We were then picked up and taken to Hell where we were able to send a postcard from the Hell Post Office. Pretty cool. After we left Hell, we were taken to a small café on Seven Mile Beach where we ate a dish of Chicken, Rice and beans. It was delicious. Our guide then picked us up and took us back to do some shopping before having to board the ship. It was awesome. |

| We had a marvelous time in Grand Cayman as well as the shoreTrip we did for Cozumel. We recommended this excursion prior to taking it to another couple on a different cruise. They had a great time and reported back to us, so we would know more when we took our trip to Sting Ray city. The lunch was marvelous, delicious and very quaint. It was extremely affordable and I have told a lot of folks to take this excursion as it is all inclusive. |
