We had a friend of a friend that is an island local and they said Captain Marvin's Tours are one of a kind. It was a great tour. The staff were friendly, they are very respectful of the stingrays. They do not lift them out of the water and do crazy things to them like I have heard other stingray... More

This was our second time doing the Stingray City, Snorkeling Cruise with Captain Marvin. His boats are a bit dated but get the job done. He is also half the price of the other tours doing the same thing. The crew is amazing, they are so informative and helpful. While visiting the Stingrays, I saw for the first time, a... More

There are numerous tour operators that take visitors to Stingray City. Captain Marvin's was recommended and they were excellent. Crew members were personable and informative and everything was on a timely schedule.

I originally had tried to book a snorkeling trip through another island excursion but they were booked and referred me to Capt. Marvin's. This was the best trip of our whole week of cruising. We were on a small boat with just 9 of us plus two guides. Both guides very nice and adjusted the stops depending on the crowds.... More

We spent a very enjoyable afternoon on Captain Marvin's 2 stop snorkel and sting ray city trip. Our captain, Denver, was informative, friendly and made everyone feel welcome. He patiently explained how we would interact with the stingrays, how to feed them and how to treat them. I was very glad we had chosen the late day trip as I... More

We read lots of reviews, and chose to go with the team who has been doing this for the longest. It was a great choice. We did the 3 stop, 3 hour tour. Its the perfect amount of time at each stop, trust me. They make sure everyone gets a turn with the stingrays and it didn't feel rushed. If... More

There is an abundance of options when it comes to selecting a tour operator to see the stingrays at Stingray City sandbar. We opted to go with Capt. Marvin's as they came recommended by the manager at the condo we were staying at. Their boats are motor boats so they get you out and back a bit quicker. They also... More
