Description

This 3-hour and 15-minute evening boat tour is an easygoing way to experience Grand Cayman once the heat of the day fades and the water settles. It’s designed to be simple and unhurried, with time to enjoy each stop rather than rushing from place to place.

You’ll meet at the marina in George Town and head out by boat as the sky starts to change color. The ride along the coast is calm, giving you a chance to get comfortable and hear what the evening has in store. The first stop is Starfish Point, a quiet, shallow area where starfish are often visible in the clear water. You can step onto the beach or stay on the boat, depending on what feels right. Most guests spend this time taking photos, watching the sunset, and enjoying the peaceful setting. Bringing your own snacks or drinks is allowed, so the stop feels relaxed and personal.

After sunset, the boat heads to Bioluminescent Bay. Before anyone enters the water, the guide explains what causes the glow and how best to see it. You’ll be given a snorkel mask and a life vest, and you can swim or snorkel at your own pace. As you move your hands or kick gently, the water lights up around you. It’s a quiet, hands-on experience that’s better when you slow down and take it in.

Once everyone is back on board, the boat cruises back to the marina. The return ride is calm and low-key, wrapping up an evening that focuses on simple moments, natural light, and time spent on the water.
