The best options are underwater. These are the others.

Grand Cayman Activities & Attractions

Although watersports are Grand Cayman's primary draw, there are quite a few other things to do while others are under or on the water.

Shopping

Because it is a major cruise ship destination, duty free shopping in George Town gets better all the time. Stores are located in a compact area of just a few blocks near the cruise ship terminal. If you're a stamp collector, visit the post office (in the same area) for one of its first day issues.

Turtle Farm

One of the oldest attractions, the farm near West Bay raises green turtles both for release in the wild and for local restaurants, where turtle steak is highly prized.

Go to Hell

Probably only on Grand Cayman can you tell that to someone and not need to duck a punch. Hell is an unusual formation of volcanic rock, or ironshore, that's said to resemble a hellfire. Why this became an attraction isn't clear since ironshore is found all along the coast and elsewhere in the Caymans. The Hell post office does a banner business sending out postcards with the official Hell postmark. Souvenir T-shirts are also popular.

Horseback Riding

Scenic trail and beach rides are offered by Honeysuckle Trail Riders (345/947-7976) and Pampered Ponies, Ltd. (345/945-2262), both located in West Bay.

Ferry to Rum Point

Lots of shaded beach, picnic tables and hammocks in North Sound. Lunch, dinner and mudslides are other hot attractions. Wave runners, kayaks and sailboats and other water toys if you can't resist the clear water. Reached by taking the ferry from the Hyatt Marina; call 345/949-9098 for ferry reservations.
