Cayman Islands National Museum

The building of the Cayman Islands National Museum dates back to the 1800s and is a focal point of George Town. Every history tour of the island will make a stop here, since the museum is dedicated to the preservation, research and display of all aspects of Caymanian heritage, both cultural and natural. As a bonus, you can buy one-of-a-kind souvenirs at the gift shop of the museum, including a beautiful selection of ornate Caymanite jewellery and gifts. The proceeds go to finance museum maintenance and educational programs.

Hell

About a 25-minute drive north from the cruise ship port in George Town you'll find Hell. Roughly the size of half a football field, this peculiar area is famous for its short, black, ironshore karst formations. The jagged structures make Hell appear rather treacherous. Part of the attraction is the Hell Post Office. Send a postcard to your friends and family!

Stingray City

Stingray City is the most popular tourist attraction of Grand Cayman. Book a tour of 3-5 hours and head out to the sandbars 40 km (25 miles) off the shore of Grand Cayman. Jump in to the shallow water and interact with the gentle Southern Stingrays. A guide will help you get individual attention from the animals, and will teach you how to feed and touch them. Memorable experiences and fantastic photos guaranteed.

Seven Mile Beach

The long crescent of coral-sand Seven Mile Beach is a true gem of Grand Cayman. It was named one of the Ultimate Beaches in the region by Caribbean Travel + Life. While many of the Caribbean's most luxurious properties are located along the shore, the expansive waterfront is completely open to the public. Walk the full length of the beach and take in the natural beauty. On your walk, stop at the numerous restaurants and bars, souvenir stalls or even choose to or snorkel in the peaceful seas around Cemetery Reef.

Fort George Ruins

Fort George was a colonial era fortification that was built in 1790s to protect the harbour. By the 20th century, the fort was no longer in use. Only a tall silk cotton tree growing within the fort was used as a lookout post to spot German submarines that patrolled the Caribbean waters. Today, very little remains of the structure. The ruins belong to the National Trust for the Cayman Islands and are an important remnant of the colonial times.

Cayman Turtle Centre

The Cayman Turtle Centre is a conservation facility and tourist attraction that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors per year. Although the facility was initially used to breed the endangered green sea turtle for commercial purposes and still continues to operate as a farming operation, its importance as a research and conservation facility cannot be overstated.

Kittiwake Shipwreck & Artificial Reef

The historic Ex-USS Kittiwake became a home to sponges, Goliath groupers, urchins and squirrelfish since its sinking in 2011. Over the years, the underwater wreck has blossomed into a beautiful and dynamic artificial reef — the perfect refuge for marine life. Divers of all skill levels, as well as snorkellers, explore the shipwreck with ease, as it is only 17 metres (55 feet) deep.

Cayman Spirits Co. Rum Distillery

Cayman Spirits Co is a small-batch distillery that is famous for its Seven Fathoms Rum — an artisanal amber rum aged in year-old bourbon barrels that are secured and placed 13 metres (42 feet) underwater for 2 years. This ageing process is unique throughout the distilled spirits world. Learn about the Caribbean rum culture, see the big copper still and sample of rum and vodka on a guided tour.
