The tour starts with the throttle’s low rumble and spray misting your face as the open water of Grand Cayman stretches ahead. Jet skis cut through a lacquered North Sound; the shallow sandbars where southern stingrays glide make themselves known as dark shapes that gently turn and rise to meet human hands. The sea dares you to wade, snorkel, and float among starfish-strewn shallows while a guide points out marine life and safe interaction etiquette.
