Nestled in the calm, turquoise waters of the western Caribbean, Grand Cayman is a popular destination for those seeking fun, adventure, and relaxation under sunny skies.

Grand Cayman is known for its powdery sand beaches and crystal clear water, which allows for first-rate diving and snorkeling. Abundant rainbow-hued marine life can be found throughout the island, and many of the dive sites include shipwrecks and dramatic “wall dives.”
One of the island’s most popular attractions is Stingray City, where adventuresome snorkelers and divers can pet, feed, and swim with 30 to 50 “tame” Atlantic Southern stingrays. Don’t care to get wet? You can still enjoy the underwater life in the safety of a submarine. Both Atlantic Adventures and Nautilus cover the full spectrum of submarine experiences. You can even take a trip to the Cayman Wall at 984 feet.

Another unique outing is a visit to the world’s only green sea turtle farm. The Cayman Turtle farm, where thousands of green sea turtles are hatched and raised, was created to provide a safe habitat for this endangered species.

Additional attractions on the island include the Pedro St. James Historic Site with its restored 19th-century plantation great house and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park and gardens. You may also want to visit the National trust to learn about historic buildings or explore bird sanctuaries, wetland reserves, and nature trails.

When it’s time to relax, there’s no shortage of beautiful beaches from which to choose. Grand Cayman, in fact, boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean—Seven Mile Beach. Set against a backdrop of resorts, beach bars, restaurants, and shops, Seven Mile Beach is known for its array of water sports and its crystal clear waters. For a secluded white-sand beach, head to Rum Point, where palm trees provide shade, and the clear waters teem with colorful fish.

Accommodations on Grand Cayman range from luxury resorts such as the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman and the Westin Casuarina Resort to moderately priced condominiums. Travel Impressions and Pleasant Holidays have attractively-priced packages to Grand Cayman that include roundtrip air from major U.S. gateways, accommodations of your choice, and roundtrip airport/hotel transfers.
