Grand Cayman Things to do

Scuba Diving
Attracting divers from around the world, Grand Cayman is acknowledged as having some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean. Crystal clear warm waters contain immensely colourful coral gardens, underwater caves and an incredible variety of fish life. There are many certified, reputable dive operators offering a wide range of courses for all abilities and dive cruises around the Caymans.

Golf

Always a popular and rewarding way to spend an afternoon, golf here is of the highest quality with challenging, well designed courses and extensive clubhouse facilities such as health spas, tennis courts and restaurants.

Water Sports
Indulge your passion for water sports at one of many beach resorts where a wide array of water based pursuits can be practised. Wakeboarding and waterskiing are especially popular here due to calm waters which make it ideal for beginners. Many hotels organise dedicated water sports and beach activity programmes for children.

Nature Walks
Leave the heat and crowds behind and explore on foot through the diverse island interior. A leisurely two mile trek in the Mastic Reserve will take you through woodland terrain, mangrove swamp and dry subtropical forests where parrots, lizards and snakes are found.
