Things to do in Grand Cayman – Ocean Excursions / Boat Operators
OK, so you’re visiting Grand Cayman and you’re looking for something to do. Grand Cayman is best known for it’s surrounding waters, so it makes sense to explore the island from sea. Perhaps a day of boating, sight-seeing and snorkeling, or a romantic sunset cruise is what you’re looking for. Grand Cayman has two unique attractions at sea, found in very few places around the world! Stingray city sandbar is a unique place where you can play with the gentle creatures close-up and personal. If you’re staying overnight you can sit over glowing blue waters of the bioluminescence bay in a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.
There are plenty of sea-faring options available to enjoy Grand Cayman’s gorgeous blue waves, if you know where to look. Let a knowledgeable local boat operator show you around…
