Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands lies in the calm, turquoise waters of the western Caribbean and consists of three islands just 480 miles south of Miami: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. These islands are often referred to as pieces of paradise and from beach, to forest reserve, to surf park...from historic building, to bird sanctuary, to submarine they offer an incredible array of attractions.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
The main attraction of Cayman Islands is the magical underwater kingdom of coral reefs that ring the islands like a necklace. Blessed with sun-kissed beaches and waters teeming with gold flecked fish, and sunken ships, the Cayman Islands offers some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world.
Sea Turtle Farm
If you are looking at visiting the world’s only sea turtle farm, this is where you’ll find it. Cayman Turtle Farm breeds and releases green sea turtles into the wild. It incorporates fresh and salt water swimming lagoons, predator tanks, aviaries, a nature trail, fresh-water pond and traditional Cayman-style architecture.
Treasure Hunting!
On Cayman Brac visitors can take a self-guided tour through ancient caves: Legend has it that treasures belonging to Blackbeard and fellow buccaneers are buried here.
