Cayman Islands Travel Blogs

Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and contains the capital George Town. Towns on the island are referred to as "districts".   The island is a high-lying reef of "iron shore" (limestone fringes with numerous marine fossils), with the highest elevation a couple of feet a…

    Our last day on Cayman Brac was one of the best. We all got up at a semi-reasonable time, and while our attempt at swimming in the water back behind our house were thwarted by the waves that were still large enough to make us fear getting knocked off our feet and into some wonder…

I was up and on deck in the early morning darkenss to watch us glide into George Town, Grand Cayman. The ship anchored offshore and lights could be seen along the shoreline. Tenders convey passeners from the cruise ships to the dock. After breakfast, we assembled in the gangway to bo…

Pulling into Grand Cayman was quite suprising.  It was unlike any Carribean island I had visited in the past.  Gone were the lush hillsides and ever present were the stores, restaurants, banks and shipping piers.  This is not at all what I expected but I go into everything wi…

I had been to Grand Cayman in the past but was scared of things bigger than me in the ocean, so I thought when I moved to the Island I would ease myself into going to Stingray City, but starting off snorkling, then diving, then Stingray City, but it happened in the opposite order!  My fir…

i arrived in the Cayman Islands to perfectly turquoise water and hot sunny weather. This is my first place on a big backpack, roughing it trip, but i am staying in my own room, right on the waters edge at my friend Ellen's place, and eating too well. so nice - may never be able to leave.... …

There was only one stop before Roatan, where we'd be disembarking, and that was Grand Cayman.  I had lived in Cayman 10 years before, so I was kind of interested to see it again.  It hadn't been one of my favourite places that I've been: too flat and overdeveloped for my taste, and t…

Grand Cayman was the least favorite of the four ports we visited.  Last year when we went I had a great experience swimming with stingrays and this time I wanted to see more of the island.  It's not a terrible place, don't get me wrong.  In fact, it's beautiful.  It's just the t…

A record of my travels...mainly through pics

 We passed by Cayman very early in the morning, I could see five cruise ships in Grand Cayman, three in Georgetown and two in another bay. They were from Carnival, Celebrity, and Princess. The Celebrity one passed us while going to its place in the Caymans. It was very interesting see him appr…

I figured since I was coming to Grand Cayman and everyone talks about the beauty of the Seven Mile Beach area, I should at least stay one night.  Hotels were more expensive and obviously much more crowded.  The beach was definitely beautiful but so much harder to appreciate when it's pack…

I'm frustrated that there's no option for just generally cruising.  If there is, I missed it and someone please let me know because the majority of my travels involve cruising.  SO, the write up will be under one of our ports, Grand Cayman. Anyway, the entire trip was from November 20 - …
