Cayman Islands Vacation Activities

Grand Cayman Island is a world-renowned diving vacation destination. Its clear, warm waters are home to excellent diving and snorkeling sites. The Cayman Trench drops to a depth of 23,000 feet and visibility can range from 125 to 200 feet.

Dive sites around the island include:

  • Coral reefs
  • Shipwrecks
  • North Wall – sheer drop off, canyon ways, chimneys
  • West Wall – swim-throughs, canyon ways, tunnels and pinnacles
  • South Wall – deepest side, corals, pinnacles, swim-throughs
  • Stingray City - the World's Best 12 Foot Dive

Stingray City, on the island’s North Sound, is a unique Cayman Island vacation water experience – a feeding ground for stingrays. Because it’s in 12 feet of water it is great for both diving and snorkeling. The stingrays are very tame and they love the shallow sandy bottom in this area and in the nearby Sandbar site at the entrance to Rum Point Channel.

Other activities for your vacation in the Cayman Islands include:

  • Sport fishing
  • Windsurfing, sailing and water skiing
  • Golfing and tennis
  • Nature Viewing and Bird Watching
