Great time! We recently took a family trip to Grand Cayman and were lucky enough to book with Cayman Friendly Tours for two incredible days—one on land and one on the water. From start to finish, Cap’n D went above and beyond to make this experience memorable for our group of 8, as we were all there to celebrate my mother’s birthday.Cap’n D was amazing from the initial inquiry—friendly, responsive, and flexible with planning. I mentioned mobility concerns and was mindful of accessibility options for everyone in our group. He gave us a tour that felt both personal and insightful. From visiting Hell to the stunning Blowholes, duty-free shopping in George Town and we even managed to stop for local cuisine from our home country. Capn D timed everything perfectly and made it all fun and relaxed.We were also able to visit the Botanical Garden and were lucky enough to spot a Blue Iguana! Cap’n D’s knowledge of the history and love for his island added so much to the experience, sharing not just facts but personal stories about growing up on the island and how it's changed over time.The next day we visited Stingray City, Starfish Point, and Coral Gardens for snorkeling. Both days were a true highlight of our trip.We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better two days in Grand Cayman. Cap’n D and Cayman Friendly Tours made it all so special. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting you won’t regret it!

Best tour ever This tour was so much more than I expected. Capt D was wealth of knowledge and very passionate about his heritage. He escorted us through the Botanic Gardens with so much information we would never had known without him.

Excellent Tour of Grand Cayman! A great way to see the island. We were thrilled with our tour of Grand Cayman with Cap’n D today! His knowledge of the island and his desire to share his love of Grand Cayman made this a fabulous experience. We were a party of four doing a private tour. We saw everything we wanted to see, from the Botanic Gardens, Blow Holes, Historic East End and Seven Mile Beach. And lunch on the beach! Communicating with Cayman Friendly Tours was so easy and professional. Cap’n D was able to share history and teach us about present day issues. We feel like we got a feel for the island beyond what a traditional tour would give. We highly recommend using Cayman Friendly Tours!

Treated like royalty by a captain D! Absolutely WONDERFUL overview of Grand Cayman with Captain D! Captain D is the real deal... he loves his Island and sharing the history and hopes for the future of this tropical paradise. This is the way to experience the true spirit of the Caymans. We had four total in our group...we went for a 3 1/2 hour tour with our Dear Friends and were treated like royalty. The pricing for a private tailored tour was extremely affordable! 100% will book with Captain D in the future and recommend to all my friends and family.

Outstanding tour of the Island from a man with huge knowledge and love of the Island! Booked this tour for a group of 6 (but could have been more comfortably up to 10) to see the Island.. ‘Captain D’ was superb. Born on the island and lived here all his life he is full of knowledge and love of the island. The trip was packed with information and he showed us everything. He was super friendly and informative. He was relaxed but organised and knew everything. We wanted to have an understanding of rhe Island (rather than just the inside of a hotel). He did the perfect tour. It was very fairly priced too. Clearly a man with a real ‘calling’ and love for what he does… thank you so much! Highly recommended.

Hospitality at its finest!!! Captain D gave us a tour that covered more than we could have expected! We had 8 people and with his vast knowledge of the island we came away knowing so much that we fell in love with the island and the people! He took us to a local restaurant and we were looked after so beautifully and fed delicious food. We highly recommendCaptain D and his tour company Cayman Friendly Tours.

Favorite part of my cruise Captain D's tour was my favorite part of the cruise. He packed everything we could possibly want to do into the 5 hours we had to tour the island. There were 24 of us and he kept us all running in a timely manner. If you want to get an actual feel of the place take this tour you will not regret it. He has lived on the island his entire life, and was able to answer every question.

Captain D is the BEST look no further! I can’t say enough good about Cayman Friendly Tours and Captain D! He went above and beyond for our group of 24. He allowed us to customize our tour to meet our needs. He picked us up promptly from the Cruise port and did head counts at each of our stops. Captain D is from Grand Cayman and was proud to share the history of his beautiful home with our group. Wonderful memories made!

Cayman Friendly Tours

Our Story

Welcome to Cayman Friendly Tours. The owner, Denward Ebanks (a.k.a. Capt D) was born into the business of accommodating visitors to the beautiful Cayman Islands.

Being the son of world famous Capt Marvin, by the time he was 5 years old, Capt D was already making daily outings with his dad and helping guests to enjoy all the beauty of Grand Cayman.

In his late teens (early 1980’s), Capt D and a small group of young men from that generation domesticated the Stingrays living on a shallow sandbar. They fed them leftover fish scraps from the daily spearfishing expeditions they carried out to feed the guests on their snorkelling trips. This is where the name “Stingray City” was born.

We have unique offerings of private land or sea tours and get this!!! Our guests have the rare opportunity of combining them privately, featuring all of Grand Cayman land and sea high-lights and most importantly off the beaten track experiences and attractions, in naturally authentic, yet upscale and warm hospitable fashion.

At Cayman Friendly Tours, you are truly like family. This is what makes us different from all the rest.
