About Cayman

Are you planning a Caribbean vacation because you have been drawn to the beauty of the Cayman Islands for years?  If you're a snorkeler or scuba diver who has experienced some of the most spectacular underwater marine life and coral formations in the world you'll want to take advantage of the more than 300 dive sites and moorings around the islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

But Grand Cayman offers much more than sun, sand and sea. Some of its unique attractions include the Cayman Turtle Farm, the world's only commercial Turtle Farm; Boatswains Beach - an all-day entertainment and learning center; Pedro St. James Historic Site with a restored 19th century plantation great house and an interactive theatre, the National Museum in George Town, the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park and Gardens and Camana Bay (Grand Cayman's newest town), the wreck of the ex-USS Kittiwake (Grand Cayman's newest wreck dive site).

After dark you may enjoy cultural events and comedy clubs, jazz sessions, steel band concerts and local theatre or sample culinary delights at the many restaurants and pubs around the island.

This requirement is applied to all travel by both air and sea.
