    OVERVIEW

    Interact with southern stingrays on a shallow sandbar and observe an abundance of other marine life by snorkeling a barrier reef off Grand Cayman. A scenic cruise along beautiful Seven Mile Beach will bring you to Stingray City, a collection of sandbars teeming with stingrays. These graceful creatures may look somewhat ominous, but they are docile and shy, often burying most of their flat bodies in the sand. While swimming with the stingrays, you might feed them, run your hands over their sandpaper-like skin or simply allow them to brush by. The stingrays that inhabit this particular sandbar are quite friendly and accustomed to sharing the water with people. After cruising to a nearby reef, you will see many of the other marine creatures that live in the crystal-clear waters. Among the most colorful are queen parrotfish, red-and-white striped squirrelfish and silvery yellow French grunts, whose name refers to the noise they make by grinding their teeth.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Visit a series of shallow sandbars with so many stingrays that it’s called Stingray City.
    • Feed and touch the stingrays or simply watch them from a distance.
    • Snorkel a barrier reef and observe the other marine life that lives off Grand Cayman.


    HELPFUL HINTS
    • Dress in weather-appropriate clothing with a swimsuit underneath.
    • Bring a towel and sunscreen.
    • Wear flat comfortable walking shoes.

    OVERVIEW

    Paddle a kayak along beautiful mangrove-lined Camana Bay and spend free time in the waterfront town of the same name. After a briefing to ensure that you maximize the experience, you will ease into a two-seat kayak and follow the guide into the bay. The mangroves are protected because of their environmental benefits. You will notice that the exposed intertwined roots of the mangroves form a protective cage of sorts above the water, which provides an ideal breeding area for fish and other marine life. Mangroves also stabilize the coastline and filter the water, keeping it crystal-clear. It makes for a wonderfully serene setting. Be sure to look for wildlife, especially birds that find shelter in the thick mangroves. Upon arriving in the town of Camana Bay in the heart of Seven Mile Beach, you will be free to explore on your own. The shopping is excellent in this delightful setting with a New Urbanism design.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Kayak through environmentally protected Camana Bay, which is lined with mangrove forests.
    • Enjoy the serenity of the setting while looking for wildlife that thrives in the mangroves.
    • Explore the town of Camana Bay, which features an appealing New Urbanism design.

    OVERVIEW

    Settle in for a panoramic drive around eastern Grand Cayman with stops at iconic attractions before dining at a characteristic waterfront restaurant. The island is known for its rum cakes, and you will enjoy a tasting that will confirm why they are so popular. The blowholes along the rocky shore are among the more outstanding natural features. It will be quite the sight to watch the incoming waves force ocean water up through vertical shafts along the coast and create epic geysers up to 20 feet high. That same shoreline was once extremely treacherous as you will discover at the Wreck of the Ten Sail memorial. It commemorates the convoy 10 British ships that wrecked on the reefs just offshore in 1794 in a massive maritime disaster. Amazingly, only six people lost their lives. Later, at the beachfront Eastern Star Bar & Fish Fry, you will dine on traditional Cayman cuisine.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • View coastal geysers that spray spectacularly high into the air.

    OVERVIEW

    Sample some of Grand Cayman’s most characteristic rum, beer and cuisine and discover how they are produced using locally sourced ingredients. Rum has long been associated with the Caribbean as it is typically made with sugar or molasses, two products prevalent in the islands. Grand Cayman is no exception as you will discover while touring a rum distillery, after which you will be offered a tasting of the spirit. The island may be even more well-known for its cakes made with barrel-aged spiced rum, which you will enjoy during another sampling. An enlightening tour and tasting at a local brewery will reveal some of the tropical flavors such as mango that are used in the production of beer. Although jerk-style cooking may have originated in Jamaica, it has long been long popular on Grand Cayman. However, the spices can be somewhat different, which you will likely notice at yet another sampling.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Tour a rum distillery, a rum cake factory and a brewery on Grand Cayman.
    • Sample a variety of spirits, beers and the island’s signature rum cake.
    • Enjoy a tasting of jerk-style cuisine that is characteristic of the Cayman Islands.
