Stingray City
No trip to the Cayman Islands is complete without a visit to the famous Stingray City Sandbar, where travelers from around the world find themselves cozying up to dozens of playful southern stingrays. Excursions to the shallow-water group of sandbars provide guests with opportunities to wade in cobalt-blue waters as they feed, take photos and swim with gentle stingrays, nicknamed the “puppy dogs of the sea.” Visitors may enjoy an early morning breakfast aboard a luxury sailing catamaran and be among the first to visit the Stingray City Sandbar; or a sunset cruise with friendly rays provides the perfect ending to an epic bucket-list day in the Cayman Islands.

Visit the Sister Islands
At only 10 miles long and a mile wide, Little Cayman is the least developed and most tranquil of the three Cayman Islands, truly epitomizing the definition of an “island getaway.” Most of Little Cayman remains uninhabited, offering a rare combination of sun-drenched solitude, glistening beaches, and miles of untouched tropical wilderness. Sun-worshippers can bask on empty beaches or take a bike ride and meander around the island. Those who venture to the remote South Hole Sound Lagoon can enjoy a private swim in water that is every shade of blue or row out to tiny, deserted Owen Island to soak up a view of nature in its most pristine form.
Cayman Brac, with its distinct and dramatic limestone cliff or ‘Bluff’, is a nature lover’s paradise, offering natural hiking trails, an abundance of caves to explore and spectacular world-class diving. For those looking to get off the beaten path in search of adventure, a visit to Cayman Brac is a must. Named for its breathtaking 153 ft. bluff, the “Brac” is a rugged and charming 14 square miles and provides adventure seekers and nature lovers with the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Cayman Islands’ most dramatic scenery and exotic flora and fauna.
