Grand Cayman Island Vacations

Located just 480 miles south of Miami, the three islands that make up the Caymans--Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman--are nestled in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean like treasures waiting to be discovered. Activity options are limitless, from diving to shopping, visiting the famed Stingray City to the town of Hell, or from sitting on the beach sipping a tropical drink to enjoying the vibrant nightlife of the islands.

Grand Cayman, the largest and more visited of the three islands, is full of things to do and sights to see. Grand Cayman Island vacations wouldn't be complete without strapping on a snorkel or scuba gear and heading beneath the waves for a feast for the eyes. With over 200 documented scuba diving sites, water that reaches 80 degrees, and incredible visibility (often exceeding over 100 feet), it's difficult think of more ideal conditions. Visitors enjoy examining reefs covered with coral and sponges, with schools of colorful fish. Stingray City, known throughout the Caribbean as the world's best 12-foot dive, is a must do during vacations in Grand Cayman Island. Southern Stingrays, who are used to human interaction, gather in large numbers and surround both divers and snorkelers, eager to be fed bits of squid that the tour guides bring along. It is truly a one of a kind experience.

For those who prefer to remain above the waves, there is still plenty of waves to enjoy the water of Grand Cayman. Wave runners, paddle boats, and kayaks are available at most Grand Cayman Island all inclusive resort. Waterskiing, windsurfing, catamaran cruises, parasailing, and evening sunset sails are also popular all over the island.

Grand Cayman Island all inclusive vacation packages often are enough to keep travelers full and satisfied with gourmet dining, but those who wish to sample local cuisine can try traditional island dishes such as freshly caught fish, turtle steaks, or conch stew.

George Town offers plenty of duty free shopping, with some of the best deals in the Caribbean being found here. Luxury items such as designer watches, fine jewelry, crystal, china, and even authentic "treasure coins" can be purchased in the shops found in the main town square.
For those who want fun in the sun and a friendly island atmosphere, Grand Cayman all inclusive vacations are the perfect way to experience it all. Families and couples alike will find this gem of an island easy to get to, incredible to explore, and extremely difficult to leave.
