Cayman Islands

Whether you're one of the many tourists who arrive in the Cayman Islands on a cruise ship or you fly directly to Grand Cayman, once you take a step onto the sugar sand beaches and look out at the crystal-clear turquoise waters, you'll be hooked. The Cayman Islands (Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman) are one of the most popular Caribbean vacation destinations. Known as the leading tourist scuba diving destination in the world, the islands attract visitors year-round to the beautiful beaches, coral reefs and natural wonders. Even non-divers can swim and snorkel with the stingrays at the Stingray City Sandbar and walk and sun on the famous 7-Mile beach. Beyond the world-class scuba diving and snorkeling, there's also sailing, fishing, boating, submarining, parasailing, swimming, windsurfing, ocean kayaking, and fun with any number of "water toys," such as wave-runners, aqua trikes, banana boats, paddleboats and more. If you tire of surf and sand, you'll find many other diversions, such as the museums, the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, the Stingray Brewery, the Tortuga Rum Cake factory, Boatswain's Beach, the Turtle Farm, Pirates Cave and even a trip to Hell and back. Sightseeing and shopping are a pleasure in George Town and other small villages, with distinct island treasures, great bargains, and no street vendors. When you need to find a little slice of heaven on earth, slip away to the Cayman Islands and you'll find yourself refreshed and renewed.
