Grand Cayman 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…

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…

    We got up at around 7am to head to the Cayman Brac International Airport (I'm pretty sure it's only "international" because the small plane makes trip to Cuba occasionally). BJ had told us that they 8:30am flight we were on would be stopping on Little Cayman and then heading on t…

A record of my travels...mainly through pics

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…

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…

Our adventures on a Carribean Cruise that included swimming with dolphins traditional Irish music every night, getting thrown out stores and a massive bar bill.

My trip to the Grand Cayman in February of 2007. We went swimming with giant stingrays, went to a turtle farm/rehab, celebrated their version of Mardi Gras, went on a submarine and lots more.

These are photos from my cruise w/ the Bare Naked Ladies and other bands. It was like a floating music festival! ...i expect to see all of you on it next year.. ;) (The photo of the BNL in the robes is when around 800 of us stood together, dropped our robes & were bare naked at sea! and yes, there is a photo of it.... somewhere)

The Cayman Islands is a bit more upscale in comparison to alot of the other Caribbean Islands. You won't get as many peddlers, and alot more beautiful shopping places. It's a bit safer too. The water is the beautiful Caribbean blue that you'd expect; absolutely gorgeous.

This was my Spring Break trip back in March. My friends and I traveled to Grand Cayman, Belize, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. We met a lot of people along the way.
