Grand Cayman excursion reviews, with the sample size printed every time
Seven excursions are listed on this site. One of them has 325 reviews behind its rating. The other six have 17, 4, 4, 4, 2 and 1 — thirty-two reviews between the six of them. I can read 29 written reviews in total, and one product has none at all: two people rated it and neither wrote a word. The scores are below, next to the counts.
Read each score with its review count.
Laid out with the counts attached, in the order the platform publishes them:
| Excursion | Score | Reviews behind it | Written quotes I can read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catamaran cruise, Stingray City and snorkel (shared) | 4.7 | 325 | 10 |
| Stingray City and Cayman reefs snorkel (shared) | 4.9 | 17 | 9 |
| 4-Stop Ultimate Grand Cayman Tour (shared) | 5.0 | 2 | 0 |
| Private Stingray City and snorkelling charter | 5.0 | 4 | 2 |
| Private tour: Stingray City and Starfish visit | 5.0 | 4 | 3 |
| Private tour: Stingray City, snorkel and Starfish Point | 5.0 | 4 | 4 |
| Private luxury boat tour | 5.0 | 1 | 1 |
Every score on this site is printed with its review count. The 4.7 has 325 reviews behind it; the 5.0 scores have between one and four, and three of the four-review products describe the same captain.
Four products carry a 5.0. On a small base a score can shift quickly: one three-star review takes a 5.0 from four reviews down to 4.6, while the 4.7 from 325 would not move.
The top score with no written reviews underneath
The 4-Stop Ultimate Grand Cayman Tour is published at 5.0. That comes from two ratings, and neither rater wrote a review.
There is no separate review page for it. What is worth knowing about it is not the score at all: it is 4.5 hours, up to 24 aboard, and US$99 per person, which is the same price as the 2.5-hour shared trip and twice the time on the water. That comparison is on all seven tours and in what an excursion costs. Its main draw is the length of the day rather than the 5.0.
Where the visible quotes and the published score disagree
Two products, two different situations, and the difference is instructive.
- The catamaran is 4.7 from 325, and all ten quotes I can read are five stars. Ten five-star reviews cannot average 4.7. The other 315 include lower ratings that bring the average to 4.7, so the overall score is the best guide.
- The stingray-and-reefs tour is 4.9 from 17, and I can read nine of the seventeen. Eight are five stars and one is a four, which averages 4.89. That rounds to the published 4.9.
The platform chooses which reviews are shown, so the quotes here are a selection. On a product with 325 reviews that matters less; on a product with four they are most of what there is.
One captain features in eight of the nine private-charter quotes
Across the three private charters that sit at 5.0 from four reviews, I hold nine written reviews. Eight of them name a captain called David. Three separate listings, three separate review pools, one first name. It may be one boat sold three ways, one captain working for three operations, or a coincidence among a small number of charter skippers on the North Sound. The reviews read like the same day out. The working is on the private charter review.

What five-star reviewers tell you
Reading all 29, the clearest pattern is that the star and the sentence answer different questions. People rate the crew, then use the text box to complain about the price of the photographs or the crowding at the sandbar. Two examples, both rated five stars by their own authors:
“The organization was excellent from start to finish. Unfortunately, the prices for the photos were too high.”
“Everything was wonderful! The communication was excellent (because we had to switch days). All three stops were great and an appropriate amount of time. The boat was clean and very newly painted. The only thing.. I would try to go on a day when cruise boats are not in port. Much more crowded but still good !”
“Top Very friendly crew Lack of a little freedom with the rays”
Read the stars for whether people were glad they went. Read the sentences for what the morning is like. Courtney’s is the most useful line in the whole pool for anyone arriving by ship: she is telling you the sandbar is busier on a cruise day, and she is telling you inside a five-star review. What that means for a tender day is on arriving by cruise ship.
Where these reviews came from, and when
Each quote was read off the product’s own page on 16 August 2026. I did not solicit any of them, I have not edited any of them beyond cutting company names, and they are the reviews the platform publishes against these seven products.
Prices, scores and counts are live figures that move. The peg does not: CI$1 is US$1.20, and it has been since 1974. See the CI$ or US$ guide, shared boat or private charter for the group-size sum, and all seven tours for the full list.

Frequently asked questions
Which Grand Cayman excursion has the most reviews?
The shared catamaran cruise with Stingray City and snorkelling: 4.7 from 325 reviews. The next-largest sample on this site is 17, and after that they run 4, 4, 4, 2 and 1.
How many reviews are behind the 5.0 ratings?
Yes, they are real. Four products here are rated 5.0: three from four reviews each, one from a single review. One three-star review would take a 5.0 from four down to 4.6.
Is there a tour with a perfect score and no reviews?
Yes. The 4-Stop Ultimate Grand Cayman Tour is published at 5.0 from two ratings, and neither rater wrote any text. There is no separate review page for it. Its useful facts are its length, 4.5 hours, and its price, US$99 per person.
Are these reviews real, and have they been edited?
They are the reviews published on each product’s own page, quoted word for word with the first name and star rating as published, spelling and complaints included.
How many reviews is enough to trust a rating?
The more the better. On this site the counts are 325, 17, 4, 4, 4, 2 and 1, and every score on every page here is printed with its review count next to it.
