Stingray City

The Cayman Islands is a little Caribbean island paradise, an hour’s flight from Miami. In 1503, Christopher Columbus was making his fourth and final voyage to the New World when winds blew his ship off-course. It was then that Columbus first happened upon two islands that he would name “Las Tortugas” for the many turtles residing there. This pair would become the Sister Islands of Cayman.

Today, the people here speak a British form of English with its own Caymanian flair. In fact, each district has a different dialect. They also have a rich heritage of rope making, with strands braided from their national tree, the Silver Thatch Palm. And, as you would expect, the customs they hold in the highest regard come from their maritime past, right up to the catboat races they host every year.

Grand Cayman is both posh and high-end, or as laid-back and low key as you like. It is a favorite destination for both adventure lovers and vacationers looking to sit back and relax on pristine white sandy beaches. Here you will also find some of the most incredible underwater views in the world, thanks largely to the unusual clarity of the surrounding waters. This is a diver's paradise with a boasted 365 different dive sites, which means you could dive a different site every day of the year.

Coming to Grand Cayman should begin at the renowned Seven Mile Beach on the west side of the island, an endless stretch of award-winning sand for relaxation and fun. Nearby, North Sound houses the unique "Stingray City," where you can interact with graceful stingrays and leave with a unique memory. Venture to George Town, where luxury meets tradition and modern treats. Explore duty-free shopping and engage with native vendors, unearthing global and local treasures. Visit the eastern district, home to rare Blue Iguanas at Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park. Take a day trip to Hell - this uniquely named attraction located in the district of West Bay on Grand Cayman, is well known for a small patch of black limestone formations that can be seen poking out from its lush surroundings. Hell was created by salt and lime deposits over 24 million years and the legend behind its name still continues to be debated.You can even get your passport stamped "Hell".  End your days by savoring freshly caught fish at nearby restaurants, a culinary delight intertwined with local tales. There are endless possibilities to spend your day, and I would love to help you explore this beautiful little island in the Caribbean.
