Grand Cayman (George Town) Cruise Port Guide and Review (2023)

Essential guide to Grand Cayman (George Town) cruise port: tender boats and terminals, shore excursions or on your own by bus, and what's withing walking distance.

By: Editor-in-Chief Update: May 28, 2023

George Town is the capital city of Grand Cayman and the port which all cruise ships visit. For those that have never been in this very popular cruise port, the cruise traveler should know that this is what is called a tender port .

Anchoring, tender boats and terminals

All cruise ships will anchor in the large bay right in front of George Town and double decked local boats will take passengers to one of the 3 piers-terminals right by the city. Regardless of the Pier/Terminal used, as you walk out the exit gates, the cruise traveler will be on the main road - Harbor Drive .

The main docking spot for the tenders is the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal on the northern part of George Town . This a rather large open area with a good number of shops (mainly souvenirs), taxis, tourist info, tour booths and a couple of bars - the Green Parrot is a famous hang out for those returning to the ship and waiting for tender boats.

But it can also happen that you will be tendering to any of the other two piers when there are more than a couple of ships in port, which happens very often. If tendering to either North or South Terminals , the cruise traveler will literally walk off the tender right into Harbor Drive as the terminal buildings are small and do not have much more than waiting areas with passenger controlling gates.

All these piers are within walking distance to the main attractions of George Town - Margaritaville, the Museum, all major Shops, and Restaurants.

To explore Grand Cayman on your own, there are taxis right outside any of the Terminals and a Bus Station within walking distance with services to all main destinations, attractions and most highlights. This is arguably the best way to travel around, deserving an additional word about the public bus service in Grand Cayman.

The public bus is naturally the most affordable way to explore Grand Cayman. Although many a cruise traveler may feel uneasy with public buses in the Caribbean, you shouldn't be as these are very safe , very well kept and a great way to travel around in Grand Cayman.

Central Bus Station in George Town

The Central Bus Station in George Town is known as District Bus Depot and is located by Heroes Square , the main landmark in the town, between the Public Library and the CIBC bank. The Public Bus Depot is no more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) from any of the Terminals, as you can see on the map below.

Buses are small vans but with air condition, clean, inexpensive and everyone is very friendly - in fact, you will find that many visitors to Grand Cayman use the Public Bus services. Buses to the Seven Mile Beach depart every 10 to 15 minutes and cost US$ 2.50 per person each way. Most top attractions are served by these public buses costing US$ 2.50 to Turtle Farm , Hell , Pedro Castle or Pirate Cave ; to the Botanical Gardens ticket is $5.00 and $10.00 to Rum Point .

Shore Excursions or On Your Own

Like on any cruise port, your ship has a number of excursions aka 'Shorex' available to enjoy a day in Grand Cayman. Some are really a great and convenient way to make the best of your time in port.

However, many of the attractions offered on these tours/excursions can easily be explored on your own. This can be a good way to do it in Grand Cayman not only because the island is small, very safe and hospitable to cruise passengers but also because it is so easy to travel around - be it by bus, taxi or car rental.

Segway Tour

In fact, it became so easy for cruise passengers to just walk in or book excursions online that some tour operators do not allow cruise passengers to book tours. Segway , for example, doesn't allow Carnival Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise passengers to book directly online and refers clients to the onboard Shore Excursions Manager. Which begs interesting questions : how on earth will Segway know that you are on a cruise if you don't tell them? What jurisdiction applies if you are 'caught'? Is it a crime? Says who?

Exploring George Town

George Town is such a small place that the cruise visitor will be able to see it all at leisure. The city expands to the East but most attractions are close to the Harbor Drive and the two blocks inland. In the northern part of Harbor Drive, where the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal is located, you will find a few shops and right in front of the exit gate a street - Front Street - that will take you (around 100 yards/meters) right to Heroes Square .

Heroes Square

On this square, with a modern fountain at its center near the already mentioned and convenient Bus Terminal, the visitor will find a few landmarks: the Town Hall, the Library, and the Court House. Along the Front Street, there are a few typical shops found everywhere in the Caribbean like Effy, Tanzanite International, Tortuga Rum Cake and Duty-Free Liquors or Milano Diamonds. But if shopping is your thing, the best shops are on or closer to Harbor Drive.

Fort George

Walking South of the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal (right turn at the exit gate) the cruise traveler will find the ruins of the Fort George and right in front the first of numerous duty-free shopping buildings - Flagship with an array of stores. Don't be surprised to find that the Fort George ruins are comprised of a couple of small remains (cannons) and that you may even pass by without realizing that 'those' are the remains of the landmark most travel guides talk about - feel free to join the Editor in wondering if such travel journalists have ever really been in the places described.

Elmslie Church

One block farther and you will see the Elmslie Memorial United Church on your left - a typical Caribbean small, quaint church, with a roof in the form of a ship’s hull turned upside down. The active Presbyterian church is very well maintained and worth a pick inside.

Margaritaville In George Town, Grand Cayman

Right after, the bright colors of Margaritaville stand out in the Island Plaza Mall. Margaritaville in George Town is a bit smaller than most in the Caribbean but the ambiance is pretty much the same. By contrast, the Island Plaza shopping mall is slightly different than others in the Caribbean as most shops are locally owned and, therefore, you will find different brands and merchandise - Blackbeard's Liquors and Churchill's Cigars are a couple of the Editor's favorites - but also boutiques with typical brands like Pandora, Tag Heuer, or Breitling. At the end of the block, Cardinal Avenue is a continuation of the best shops in George Town - Cartier Boutique, Magnum Jewelers, Kirk, La Perfumerie, Time Zone, among others.

Duty Free Shops

Landmark Building

The next block is dominated by three colonial buildings with the ground floors displaying a string of duty-free shops - Shipwreck Coins Antiques is the one of a kind to have a look at, as is La Casa del Habano if looking for good Cuban cigars. The upper floors of the first building are occupied by Breezes , a Tropical Grill also serving pizza that is popular with crew members.

National Museum

But it is on the next block that the visitor will find the most interesting (but lesser talked about) attraction in George Town - the Cayman Islands National Museum . This small museum is really worth a visit. Housed in a beautiful white colonial house, the museum showcases diverse exhibits of the Cayman Islands history and present reality. The exhibition is small but very well organized and displayed.

Bayshore Mall

On the opposite side of Harbor Drive, by the sea, you will not miss the South Terminal and right across the massive Bayshore Mall . This is the top attraction for those on a shopping spree. Owned and operated by locals, the name Kirk Freeport may not mean much to most passengers cruising the Caribbean who are used to the typical ubiquitous brands promoted onboard all cruise ships.

However, this is a refreshing change with a more diverse selection of brands, good prices and, above all, without the 'buying-pressure' found elsewhere. Besides the Kirk Freeport shops, the cruise traveler will also find on the Bayshore Mall other boutiques (like Swatch ), a luxury Spa (Tips n Toes) and a few places to have a quick bite: Cayman Creperie (French crepes), Häagen-Dazs (ice cream), Lucky Slice (best pizza in town) and Stax (Indian Goan with a Caribbean touch).

South of George Town

South Terminal

Many cruise visitors tend not to explore much farther south of the Bayshore Mall but right in front (next to the South Terminal) you will see the Atlantis Submarines Cayman (and glass bottom Boat) which will redirect you to booking trough your cruise line and on the next corner the inevitable Hard Rock Cafe . A typical and famous Cayman souvenir shop - TooHot - and the famous artist Guy Harvey's gallery are next to each other and right after Hard Rock.

Guy Harvey Gallery

Both are worth a visit and in particular the Harvey's Gallery as this is probably one of the largest and best collections of the artist's work you will see in the Caribbean. On the next block, Guy Harvey also gives the name to an excellent restaurant with wonderful views - entrance on side street (Merrendale Dr). On the same block, the cruise traveler will not miss the Harley Davidson shop, the Blue Iguana Souvenir Outlet and the Church of God Full Gospel Hall.

Craft Market

The Cayman Craft Market is the next attraction (where you may find a local hand-made souvenir) and, hidden inside on a large office building, there is an off the beaten track cafe/bar, South West Collective , know by savvy cruisers for excellent coffee, quick bites, and free Wi-Fi . On the ocean side, with a spectacular location and view, Paradise is both a restaurant (cuisine doesn't match the quality of the location) and shore diving and snorkeling spot. Around 120 yards/meters south of Paradise, you will find Eden Rock Diving Center - one of the best dives in Cayman - and 300 yards/meters farther, another diving center ( Don Foster's Dive ).

If lunch in a spectacular setting with historical charm is on your must do in Grand Cayman, then the Grand Old House - 2 miles (2.8km) south of George Town - is the right place to go. This former plantation house established in 1908 has been transformed into a wonderful restaurant with colonial style indoor rooms and a panoramic waterfront terrace serving local and international flavors and a famous wine list.

North of George Town

Fish Market

North of the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal, Harbor Drive changes the name to North Church Street . At walking distance, there a few nice places to enjoy. The first you will come across is a very talked about fish market. If you read about this in many a review, you may expect a large sort of venue but, in fact, the Fish Market is no more than a couple of tented stalls on a small sandy cove with fishermen cleaning fish - a nice site but not the huge highlight as some like to emphasize. Immediately after, you will not miss the Cayman Cabana restaurant sign - a great place to have lunch or just a drink on the open deck with wonderful ocean views. But the main attraction is really the Sea Trek Experience on the lower deck of the restaurant - here you can safely and comfortably explore the underwater world with a helmet diving system.

Scuba Diving

Restaurant Casanova

Next to Sea Trek (and Cayman Cabana restaurant) there is another restaurant which is very popular among cruise passengers - Casanova , a good Italian as the name implies - and next to this another diving experience at the Divers Down , which offers an array of tours and a dive to the Wreck of Kittiwake , a US Navy submarine rescue vessel sunk as an artificial reef and one of the most request dive sites on Grand Cayman.

Restaurant Rackam's

Rackam's Bar and Grill is just a few meters away and is one of the Editor's favorite stops in George Town. No more than 300 meters/yards north of the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal, Rackam's has wonderful views, great service, typical Caribbean food and free Wi-Fi - naturally, both savvy cruisers and experienced crew members are regular patrons. Nautilus is next to Rackam's and offers underwater tours on a semi-submarine with a spacious air-conditioned observatory but also sailing Catamaran excursions (3 hours) for to the world famous Stingray City .

Restaurant Da Fish Rack

On the next 100 meters (yards) you will find three other popular restaurants with great views and food - Da Fish Shack , Le Vele Restaurant and the Lobster Pot (which also has a diving center on the ground floor). In between, there are a few services and shops that might be of interest for cruise passengers - Cayman Auto Rentals (and scooters), the Cayman Helicopter Tour store and Liquor 4 Less (duty-free store - does a Budweiser 6 pack for $9.99 sound appealing?).

Caymana Bay

Farther north and too much of a stretch to walk - short of 1 mile (1.3km) - you should know that for some time now the Wharf Restaurant is only open for dinner and, next to it, the small and secluded (public) Pageant Beach is nice but not comparable with any other the world famous beaches in Grand Cayman.

Royal Palms Beach

Not too far from George Town, the cruise traveler will find two of the Editor's favorites in Grand Cayman: the Royal Palms Beach Club right on a beautiful spot of the Seven Mile Beach and across the road - Camana Bay an unexpected oasis with great restaurants, shops and very close to the wonderful National Gallery of the Cayman Islands. Both Royal Palms and Camana Bay are at too far to walk from George Town - around to 2 miles (2.9 km) - and it is way more convenient to get on a bus ($2.50 each way per person).

Grand Cayman Cruise Port | 11 Best Things To Do In Grand Cayman

Welcome to the Grand Cayman cruise port guide!

The Cayman Islands are the British Overseas Territory lying south of Cuba, in the western Caribbean Sea. They comprise three islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. Grand Cayman island, the major and largest one, is a world-famous, upscale tourist destination and a popular seaport in the Caribbean. In this Grand Cayman cruise travel guide, read about:

• Grand Cayman cruise port (Grand Cayman cruise terminal, getting around, helpful info)

Grand Cayman Cruise Port

Grand Cayman cruise port is located in George Town, the capital of Grand Cayman nestled in the southwest corner of the island.

Grand Cayman is a tender port which means that the cruise terminal doesn’t have docking facilities. Instead, the cruise ships drop the anchor in the bay in front of George Town and use the large, fast tender boats to bring the passengers ashore.

Georgetown cruise port consists of three cruise piers/terminals: North , South , and the Royal Watler cruise terminal , all located close to each other, within a 5-minute walk from the George Town city center.

The main terminal is the Royal Watler cruise terminal and this is where the passengers get off/get on the tender boats. Once you get off the tender boat, you’ll see the security gates and the port staff who will point you to the exit. Getting around is easy and there is no way you can get lost.

Once you pass the security gates, you’ll find yourself in a large area where you can find free restrooms, souvenir shops, a Tortuga Rum liquor store, several bars, coffee to take away, and numerous tour operator stands.

Alternatively, your cruise ship may dock at the North or South terminals . These are smaller and consist of smaller terminal buildings with security gates and waiting areas. From there, you can directly access Harbour Drive, the main street in George Town, as well as tour buses and taxis.

Getting Around Georgetown Cruise Port

• The tender boat ride takes 10-15 minutes, but the whole process of filling the tender boats and getting on/off takes longer, so always save at least 45 minutes for the tendering operation. The same goes for the way back – you may experience long lines and crowds upon getting back to the ship, so make sure you board your tender boat at least 1 hour before cruise ship departure time.
• The shore excursion meeting location is normally at the Royal Watler terminal area. You’ll see several differently colored tents (red, green, yellow, orange, blue, white, etc.) and under the tents, there are tour operator booths where you check in for your excursion. ( Note: This depends on the cruise line, so always double-check the information on your tour ticket ). Royal Watler cruise terminal is extremely busy when there are several ships in port, and you might have difficulties in finding your meeting place due to the crowds. Therefore, make sure you come on time and follow the instructions on your tickets.
• Tour buses and taxis are parked outside the terminal area. Most of the taxis are small minivans that require several people to operate.
• George Town and the port area are flat and suitable for wheelchair users/people with walking difficulties.
• The island is safe to move around.
• The cheapest option to get around the island is by local bus . Buses are small, the tickets are cheap, and if you see them on the street, you can also wave and they usually stop to pick you up. The Public Transit Bus Depot is the main bus station and is located at Heroes Square, only a few minutes’ walk from the terminal. From there, you can take a bus to Seven Mile Beach, Pedro St. James, Turtle Farm, and other island attractions.
• The Cayman Islands currency is the Caymanian dollar (KYD). 1 USD equals 0.80 KYD. Credit cards and US dollars are widely accepted, so there is no need to change the money to a local currency. ATMs are available downtown.
• Although Grand Cayman’s climate is tropical, hot and humid all year round, the weather is quite unpredictable. The Cayman Islands are one of the Hurricane most affected areas in the Caribbean and tropical storms and strong winds are frequent. 
• Because of the unpredictable weather, snorkeling, sailing, Turtle Farm, Stingray City, and other shore excursions may be canceled last minute due to safety reasons. The tour operators may not know it until the very last moment, so I would advise you to always have an alternative option.
• Owen Roberts International Airport is the main international Grand Cayman airport and is located 4 km/2.5 miles (less than a 10-minute drive) from the Grand Cayman cruise terminal.
• Major cruise lines sailing to the port of George Town Grand Cayman include Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises and Disney Cruise Line.

4. Swim with Dolphins

Grand Cayman boasts several locations where you can interact with these adorable mammals. The most famous one is Dolphin Discovery , located right next to the Turtle Center, a 20-minute drive from the George Town cruise terminal.

The other one is Dolphin Cove Cayman , situated nearby in the West Bay, a 15-minute drive from the cruise port. They both offer various interaction programs where you get to chance to pet, hug, kiss, and dance with the dolphins, and for more daring ones – you can swim with them, and let them pull and push you out of the water!

5. Stingray City

Situated in the middle of the North Sound of Grand Cayman, a 25-minute ride from the Royal Watler Cruise Terminal (19 km/11.8 miles), Stingray City Sandbar is a popular island attraction and a shore excursion offered by both cruise lines and local tour operators.

Nestled within the barrier reefs surrounding the island, the Stingray City consists of a large sandbar where you can swim with various species of fish and its most popular residents – the giant, friendly stingray that you can pet, feed, and play with! The water is shallow, only 2-4 feet, ideal for kids and families who want to spend a fun-filled day interacting with the largest stingrays in the Caribbean!

Some tours may include a snorkeling portion at the barrier reef and a stop at Starfish Point, a laid-back, secluded beach with shallow, crystal-clear water where the colorful starfish can be spotted. Stingray City is usually crowded because it’s one of the major island attractions.

6. USS Kittiwake Shipwreck

Grand Cayman boasts several great locations for snorkeling, including the USS Kittiwake shipwreck, a salvage and rescue vessel that was operational for over 50 years, sunk in 2011, and transformed into an artificial reef and an underwater attraction.

The USS Kittiwake lies in the north portion of Seven Mile Beach, and to get there, you need to take a 15-minute ride up north along Seven Mile Beach, and then board a boat that will get you to the shipwreck.

The USS Kittiwake is the most popular diving location as well. The maximum depth is 65 ft, with the top of the wreck around 15 ft. The wreck was cleared of all hazardous materials and it is completely safe to explore its chambers and the abundant sea life.

The site has a sandy bottom and is packed with thousands of beautiful colorful fish, conchs, some stingrays, and starfish.

Besides the USS Kittiwake shipwreck and artificial reef, there are two other snorkel sites you should check out: Wreck of the Cali, the closest one to the cruise port, and the Smith’s Barcadere, located a 5-minute driving distance south of George Town.

To get to the Wreck of the Cali , all you have to do is turn left upon exiting the terminal, walk along the main street for less than 5 minutes and you’ll spot the fish market. Opposite the market, there is Rackham’s dock, from where you can swim to the wreck that is located 40 yards off the shore. It lies at a depth of 15-20 ft and is easily spotted as the water is quite calm and clear. The distance being long, this snorkeling site is not recommended for first-time snorkelers, but if you don’t mind swimming, this place is perfect.

Smith’s Barcadere is the sandy cove where you can snorkel from the shore. A calm sea, gentle waves, and an intimate atmosphere are what make it perfect for those who want to escape crowded places.

Check out Grand Cayman snorkeling and scuba diving tours

7. White House Colonial Mansion

Located a 25-minute drive (17 km/10.5 miles) east of the George Town port, the White House is an exclusive private mansion offering all-inclusive service to its visitors. The mansion dates from the colonial period and is a perfect beach escape for those who want to enjoy privileged treatment and exclusive service.

You can enjoy the specialties of Grand Cayman’s amazing cuisine and great cocktails at their bar restaurant, or relax on the sunbeds and loungers while taking in the views of the pristine sands and emerald water.

The only thing I didn’t quite like was the beach – it can be accessed only from the short ladder at the end of the bar deck and it has a rocky bottom. If you want to go kayaking or snorkeling, you can do it as well. Make sure you bring your snorkel gear, but if you don’t have one, you can rent it on-site too.

8. Crystal Caves

Set in the lush tropical vegetation, Grand Cayman Crystal Caves are located on the North Side, a 35-minute drive (30 km/18.5 miles) from the George Town cruise terminal.

In the company of a knowledgeable tour guide, you can explore the three breathtaking caves and their impressive geological formations, along with the surrounding tropical forests, home to abundant flora and fauna. The tour of the caves lasts usually up to 1h 30 minutes, and there is also a gift shop where you can get souvenirs and refreshments.

9. Go to Hell

Located a 20-minute driving distance north (11.5 km/7 miles) from the Grand Cayman port, in the West Bay district (close to the Turtle Center and Dolphin Reserve), the Hell is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island.

This bizarre natural attraction covers the football field-size area featuring jagged, black limestone rock formations that are said to be millions of years old. The legend says that back in the past an early British Commissioner was touring the island and upon arriving at this site, he exclaimed “My God, this must be what Hell looks like!”

Another story says that a British Commissioner named Cardinal was visiting the area and came with friends on a bird shooting expedition. In the vicinity of the rocks, he aimed, shot, and missed. His friends muttered “Oh, Hell”, and the place later became known as “Hell”.

There is an elevated platform from where you can take unique photos and observe this natural marvel. The rocks are razor sharp and it’s forbidden to climb them. There are two gift shops where you can purchase souvenirs, as well as a post office from where you can send your postcards from Hell to your loved ones. There is no charge to enter Hell.

Check out the Hell tours and activities

10. Pedro St. James

Located a 20-minute drive (12 km/7.5 miles) from the George Town port, on the southern coast of the island, Pedro St. James is the restored 18th-century plantation home offering history exhibits and tours.

Constructed on a stunning location overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Pedro St. James is the Cayman Islands National Historic Site that belonged to the wealthy Englishman who, back in 1780, created an astonishing 3-story building using slave labor from Jamaica. The building was massive compared to neighboring single-level dwellings and ever since has been called “Castle” due to its imposing size.

Today, it is a history museum where you can explore 18th-century furniture and authentic artifacts, see the Stamp Room and Hurricane Ivan Memorial, or go for the rum tasting. The highlight of the visit is the 20-minute theater show that reveals the fascinating history of Pedro St. James and the Cayman Islands.

If you’re looking for a quick and cheap way to get around Grand Cayman, public buses are probably the best option. The island’s bus system has 11 routes covering major spots like Seven Mile Beach, Hell, and Rum Point.

The buses are small vans that can fit about 15 people. The drivers are friendly and make sure the ride is safe. To catch a bus, the best option is to head to the central bus depot in George Town, which is a 4-minute walk from the cruise terminal.

The bus depot in George Town is located in Heroes Square and is locally known as the District Bus Depot. The bus depot functions as the central hub for color-coded buses that operate across all districts of Grand Cayman. These buses run daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and until 1 a.m. on Fridays.

Things to Do in Grand Cayman on a Cruise Day in Port

Embarking on a cruise adventure to Grand Cayman promises not only scenic ocean views but also a range of exciting activities waiting to be explored. Explore the renowned Seven Mile Beach, the beautiful Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, Stingray City, and the fascinating Cayman Crystal Caves. Whether you seek relaxation in the sun, underwater adventures, or cultural immersion, Grand Cayman offers a range of opportunities to create lasting memories during your brief stay on this Caribbean jewel.

Seven Mile Beach

Regarded as one of the Caribbean’s top beaches, Seven Mile Beach is a must-see if you’re cruising to Grand Cayman. Despite its name, the beach is in fact only 6 miles (10 km) long. It’s around 2.7 miles (4.3 km) from the cruise port in George Town.

Seven Mile Beach is famous for its expansive shoreline, powdery white sand, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Along the shore, you’ll find a wide range of resorts and hotels, including well-known names such as The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott.

While the snorkeling options are limited at this beach, there are a few worth noting. The two most well-known are the Wreck of the Gamma and USS Kittiwake, which are two shipwrecks that have resulted in a beautiful artificial reef.

The three most popular spots on Seven Mile Beach are Governor’s Beach, Cemetery Beach, and Public Beach. As a general rule, the further north you go, the more peaceful and sandy the beach becomes.

For those who want a relaxing day out at the beach, consider visiting Rum Point. It is located an hour away from the cruise terminal in George Town. Found on the northern part of the island, the spot is famous for its white-sand beach and relaxing atmosphere.

At Rum Point, the water is clear, warm, and shallow, making it ideal for swimming. Since there isn’t any coral or marine life, it’s not the best snorkeling spot.

The site itself has a bar, restaurant, and souvenir shop. For those seeking adventure, kayak and jet ski rentals are available, while those looking to unwind can enjoy the comfort of hammocks and beach huts.

Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park

The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is a top spot to explore on the island’s eastern side. The park is the world’s only home to the endangered Grand Cayman blue iguana.

There are various distinct areas within the park, each featuring its own special attractions and themes. These include the Visitor’s Center, Floral Garden, Orchid Boardwalk, Xerophytic Garden, Heritage Garden, Woodland Trail, and the Children’s Garden.

The Visitor’s Center is the main entrance spot to the park, featuring a two story Cayman-architectural building. Inside the building, you will find a gift shop where you can receive a free map of the park.

In the Floral Garden, you can explore a stunning variety of flowers displaying colors ranging from red, orange, yellow, white, blue, purple, and lavender. This section of the park is truly a visual delight.

At the Orchid Boardwalk, you can enjoy the sight of many colorful orchids from around the world, including four endemic to the island. The boardwalk itself is 600 ft (183 m) long. Additionally, you will find a xerophytic garden, a stunning natural habitat where resilient desert plants thrive in arid conditions.

The Heritage Garden offers a fascinating opportunity to explore and discover the plants that have shaped the history of Grand Cayman. Here, you can explore a traditional Caymanian house, providing you with a glimpse into life as it was in the past.

The Woodland Trail forms a 1 mile (1.6 km) loop that leads you to the blue iguana section of the park. Additionally, the Children’s Garden is a great space to keep your kids entertained, featuring a splash park, a pond, and some play structures.

Visit Hell, Grand Cayman

Hell is a popular, uniquely named natural attraction located around 25 minutes drive north of the cruise port. The name ‘Hell’ was chosen due to its resemblance to what people imagined hell to look like.

The site is a small expanse of black, jagged limestone formations that stick out from the ground. The formations are enveloped by a lush forest, resulting in an interesting visual contrast.

Hell is free and open to the public at all times. You can purchase there shirts and magnets with quirky phrases such as ‘I’ve been to Hell and back!’. There’s even a post office, so consider sending a postcard from there to someone you know for a good laugh!

Cayman Islands National Museum

Located in George Town, the Cayman Islands National Museum is the perfect place to visit for those who want to learn about the Cayman Islands’ history, culture, and heritage.

The museum itself is situated in the historic Old Courts Building, which dates back to the 1830s. With over 8,000 unique artifacts, this museum offers a lot to explore.

Mastic Trail

If you’re an avid hiker looking to immerse yourself in the scenic wonders of the Cayman Islands, consider stopping by the Mastic Trail. Located in the North Side of the Grand Cayman island, it’s approximately 16.4 miles (26.4 km) from the port.

The trail spans 2.3 miles (3.7 km) and takes you through both a mangrove wetland and a dry forest that is around 2 million years old.

During the hike, you’ll have the opportunity to observe numerous native plants, including royal palms and silver thatch palms, as well as wildlife like parrots, butterflies, snakes, and crabs.

The Mastic Trail is located within the Mastic Reserve, a dedicated area focused on conserving the largest expanse of uninterrupted forest in Grand Cayman.

If you want more of a guided experience, you may want to explore the trail with a knowledgeable tour guide.

Note that this trail is not recommended for younger children or elderly individuals. Additionally, it’s advisable to bring mosquito spray and appropriate walking shoes.

Cayman Crystal Caves

On the North Side of the island, you’ll find the Cayman Crystal Caves, a must-visit attraction that was only recently opened. The only way to explore this attraction is through a guided tour. The tour takes you on a 1.5 hour walking expedition through three breathtaking caves and the surrounding lush rainforest.

Inside the caves, you’ll find stunning stalagmites and stalactites that have formed over millions of years. Don’t be surprised if you come across some cave-dwelling animals such as bats and frogs as well. The highlight of the visit for many people is the third cave, which features a large lake.

The rainforest that surrounds the area is equally stunning, showcasing a variety of captivating trees, plants, and wildlife like iguanas and parrots. Make sure to bring some bug spray, as the area is abundant with mosquitoes.

Interestingly, these caves served as hideouts and shelters for pirates many centuries ago. It’s even rumored that these caves contain treasures buried by pirates!

Pedro St. James

Pedro St. James is the oldest stone building on the island, originally constructed in 1780 by an Englishman using Jamaican slave labor. At that time, with most people living in small thatch houses, the construction of such a building was viewed as a remarkable feat.

Over time, the building transitioned into the primary residence of the Cayman Islands’ parliament. As it gradually became more run down, the government, recognizing its historical significance, made the decision to acquire and restore it to its original grandeur in 1990.

It has since evolved into one of the most popular attractions on the island, showcasing the island’s rich history. When entering, you’ll be welcomed with a 3D film and a guided tour of the building.

Go Shopping in George Town

George Town offers a wide range of shopping options, particularly appealing to cruise ship passengers in the mood for a shopping spree. The island is also known for its duty-free shopping.

Camana Bay stands out as the go-to shopping hub—a lively waterfront district with a variety of different shops. Additionally, the area features a collection of restaurants and hosts a weekly farmer’s market. The combination of its picturesque surroundings and diverse shopping options ensures a delightful and lasting experience for visitors.

There’s also the Cayman Craft Market, the perfect place for purchasing jewelry, paintings, and handmade goods. Bayshore Mall is another shopping spot that sets itself apart as a high-end destination. The mall offers a variety of luxurious items, such as jewelry and watches, coupled with a diverse selection of restaurants. Some of the jewelry on the island is crafted from caymanite, a unique and locally sourced semi-precious stone known for its unique patterns and vibrant colors.

West Shore Center is another excellent mall that houses a variety of shops, resorts, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants.

National Gallery of the Cayman Islands

Discover Grand Cayman’s vibrant local art scene at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands. The first story features rotating art exhibitions from all across the world, while the second story showcases the local Caymanian and Caribbean art.

The gallery itself is quite small but it has a lot to offer. It’s free of charge and generally quiet, offering a pleasant break from the usual sand and heat. Outside, you’ll also find a garden featuring additional minimalist works.

Tortuga Rum Cake Factory

Rum cake holds a special place as one of the most iconic culinary delights in the Cayman Islands. Originally invented by the founders of the Tortuga Rum Cake Factory, it gained immense popularity on the island over the years.

Due to this increasing demand, a specialized rum cake factory was established in 1987, currently producing over 5,000 cakes daily. The factory is located in the center of George Town, just 1.4 miles (2.2 km) from the cruise port.

You can take a tour of the rum cake factory to see how these iconic cakes are made and even try some samples or purchase cakes.

Stingray City

Stingray City is one of Grand Cayman’s most renowned attractions. This body of water hosts around 90 southern stingrays that started congregating as local fishermen discarded their scraps nearby.

Stingray City consists of two areas: the first is approximately 12 ft (3.6 m) deep, perfect for divers and snorkelers. The second area is a sandbar with a depth of just 3 ft (0.9 m), offering a more intimate, up-close experience for beginners.

Best Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Locations in Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is a paradise for scuba diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. While here for a cruise day in port, don’t miss out on exploring the wonder of the USS Kittiwake and the haunting beauty of the Wreck of The Gamma. These two iconic shipwrecks are waiting to be discovered beneath the island’s coastal waters. You might also want to dive into the vibrant Great Barrier Reef for a breathtaking underwater experience, or head to Starfish Point for an encounter with colorful red and orange starfish.

USS Kittiwake

The USS Kittiwake is a former US Navy submarine rescue vessel that was deliberately sunk to create an artificial reef and dive site. The shipwreck is situated roughly 0.5 miles (0.8 km) out from the northern part of Seven Mile Beach.

The sunken ship’s depth varies from roughly 15 ft (4.5 m) at its shallowest to 65 ft (19.8 m) at its deepest. Seasoned divers have the chance to explore all five decks of the USS Kittiwake.

At this dive site, you’ll find a wide range of animals, such as fire worms, shrimp, eels, stingrays, and even turtles.

Keep in mind that accessing this dive site requires a boat excursion due to the extensive distance and regular ship traffic.

Barrier Reef

If you’re seeking a picturesque snorkeling or scuba diving adventure, exploring the barrier reef is a must. This coral reef stands out as an excellent snorkeling spot in North Sound, Grand Cayman, just a quick 5-minute boat ride from Grand Cayman Island.

North Sound is a small section of sea in the center of Grand Cayman that spans about 5 miles (8 km) wide. The barrier reef extends along the outskirts of North Sound. The main section of the barrier reef is located on the north side of North Sound in Grand Cayman.

The barrier reef offers a diverse marine environment, featuring mesmerizing coral formations and an array of sea creatures, including stingrays, turtles, eels, and vibrant tropical fish.

With an average depth of around 10 feet (3 meters) and some shallower sections measuring just 3 feet (0.9 meters), the barrier reef provides an accessible yet diverse underwater landscape. Take care not to stand on the seabed in the shallower areas to prevent damage to the delicate coral formations.

Starfish Point

If you’re interested in getting a close look at starfish, consider visiting Starfish Point. The site is located in the northern region of Grand Cayman, close to Rum Point.

At Starfish Point, you can explore a shallow body of water where you will find Red Cushion Sea Stars, renowned for their striking red and orange colors.

Snorkeling enthusiasts can encircle the area while gazing at the 10 ft (3 m) drop-off, where there are even more starfish. Note that there is some boat traffic, so be careful when snorkeling around the area.

Please remember that taking starfish out of the water is against the law, and it’s advisable not to handle them.

Smith Cove is an exceptional destination for diving and snorkeling. It is situated approximately 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from the cruise port in George Town. The primary snorkeling location is around 8 ft (2.4 m) deep and around 98 ft (30 m) from the shoreline.

In the main snorkeling area, you’ll find lots of coral and fish such as damselfish, parrotfish, cuttlefish, and even stingrays. The waters are crystal clear and calm. Additionally, the area has free parking, a public restroom, and picnic tables.

Wreck of the Gamma

Situated at the southern tip of Seven Mile Beach, the Wreck of the Gamma is a shipwreck located approximately 20 ft (6 m) from the shoreline near Poinsettia Condos. Submerged during a storm in 1981, the ship has remained in place, transforming into a popular destination for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts.

The ship itself is about 100 ft (30 m) long, offering plenty of room to explore. The surrounding waters are calm and have excellent visibility, creating an ideal setting for snorkeling. Inside the shipwreck, you’ll find colorful coral, lively fish, and a thriving underwater world that has developed over the years.

Cheeseburger Reef

Cheeseburger Reef is another popular snorkeling spot located 120 ft (36 m) from the shore near Burger King. It is recommended to access this reef from the Lobster Pot Dive Center, which is around 0.6 miles (0.8 km) from the cruise port in George Town. Keep in mind that it’s a bit of a swim from the shore to the reef, so it’s best suited for more experienced swimmers.

At the reef, you’ll encounter a diverse array of sea life, including butterflyfish, turtles, and stingrays, amidst various colorful reef formations. The water is around 15 ft (4.5 m) deep. While it may not rival the beauty of the Barrier Reef, Cheeseburger Reef is still worth exploring if you have the time.

Coral Gardens

Coral Gardens is a well-known snorkeling location situated beside the Barrier Reef in the North Sound. The water at Coral Gardens is around 15 ft (4.5 m) deep and approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) from the shore, requiring access by boat.

While snorkeling or diving here, you are sure to find an abundance of lively, vibrant corals. Numerous fish, including the queen triggerfish, grunt, and snapper, can be observed. If luck is on your side, you might even catch a glimpse of a nurse shark or two.

The Best Things To Do In Grand Cayman On A Cruise

W hen going on a Caribbean Cruise, you may find that your ship has a stop at the island of Grand Cayman. This beautiful island, part of the Cayman Islands group of islands, offers gorgeous beaches, fantastic water activities, interesting museums, great marine life, and fascinating history and culture.

I love Grand Cayman so much that I’ve specifically looked for that port of call on the itineraries I’ve booked. It’s a place that I feel I can visit over and over again, with different things to do each time. If your cruise is visiting Grand Cayman for the day, here are the best things to do in Grand Cayman on a cruise.

Disclosure: I have visited Grand Cayman in the past and participated in activities at no cost to me. This post contains affiliate links and a purchase/click through one of these links may result in a commission paid to us at no additional cost to you. All opinions are my own.

Information About Sailing To Grand Cayman

There are three different islands that make up the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman is the largest Caribbean island of these. Cruise ships stop at George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands. It’s a traditional cruise port area with lots of touristy shops, restaurants, and bars.

Grand Cayman is a tender port. This means that the ship will stay in the water and will not be alongside a dock. You’ll take small boats from the cruise ship to one of three cruise ship terminals.

This is really important to understand when you book an excursion. Because of the unique situation of the tender port, you’ll need to time things properly so you get back with plenty of time.

You won’t have as much control of when you disembark, and may wait in a long line at the end of the day to embark. You may prefer to book an excursion on the ship, where they will handle those details for you.

When I sailed to Grand Cayman (on the Disney Fantasy), they had two separate tender ticket distributions – one for those who were just going ashore, and another for those who had official port excursions booked.

Each cruise line may handle this a little bit differently. So, you’ll want to pay attention to any documentation placed in your stateroom or announcements made. That way, you’ll be prepared since this takes a bit more time.

The Grand Cayman cruise port is a popular cruise port. There are plenty of things to do, and it’s a great place to explore for nature lovers and those who enjoy spending time on the best beaches.

Stingray City

Stingray City is, in my opinion, one of the most unique things to do in Grand Cayman. To visit the Stingray City sandbar, you’ll board a boat that goes right to the area.

These boats usually have an employee on board who can help you interact with the stingrays in their natural environment on the sandbar. They bring along food that you can use to attract the attention of the stingrays by feeding them.

Once you arrive at the sandbar, you’ll notice that the water is quite shallow. Most people can easily stand, so it isn’t too scary for timid swimmers. The stingrays are very friendly, although it’s important that you listen to the employees who will tell you how to proceed safely.

When I’ve taken these excursions, we’ve had the opportunity to purchase photos taken by the staff. Either bring a waterproof camera yourself, or some money to pay for the photos. They only took cash on our excursion, but I’d probably bring both cash and a credit card.

Snorkeling on Grand Cayman

During one of my trips to Grand Cayman, our excursion to Stingray City also included some time to snorkel. The Grand Cayman waters offer some fantastic places to snorkel, where you can see colorful fish, turtles, and coral reefs.

Like Stingray City, this is a place where you may want to consider bringing a waterproof camera. You can get some really fantastic, beautiful photos. While most shore excursions will provide snorkel gear to cruise passengers, be sure to check in advance.

Crystal Caves

Crystal Caves is a relatively new excursion offered in Grand Cayman. If you’ve visited caves in other island destinations, like the Crystal Caves in Bermuda, you’ll find that these are similar.

Because of that, I’d probably recommend going on one of the more unique Grand Cayman excursions, unless you really want to see the caves. They are beautiful, but there are so many other great things to do as well.

The excursion includes three different caves. You’ll have to drive to the caves. While you are able to purchase timed admission on your own, you can usually book an excursion which will take care of the all of the details for you.

Cayman Turtle Centre

The Cayman Turtle Centre (formerly known as the Cayman Turtle Farm) is one of my favorite Caribbean attractions. It’s the largest land-based attraction. It offers lots of family-friendly things to do and can be a fantastic place to spend the day. This is a Cayman Islands Government owned and operated facility.

Activities and attractions at the Cayman Turtle Centre include the following:

• Sea Turtle Breeding Area
• Butterfly House
• Cayman Street (which showcases traditional Cayman homes)
• Predatory Reef (where you can see sharks and other predators with an underwater viewing panel)
• Turtle Lagoon (a gentle lagoon area where you can actually swim and snorkel with sea turtles)
• Breaker’s Lagoon and Turtle Twister Waterslide (the largest freshwater pool in the Cayman Islands where you can swim and cool off)
• Turtle Wading Pool

If you are purchasing tickets to the Cayman Turtle Centre, you’ll find two separate options for tickets – the Turtle Safari and the Turtle Adventure. I recommend the Turtle Adventure because it also includes access to the turtle and breaker lagoons. You can visit this destination on your own, or book an excursion through the cruise line.

Regardless of how you book, you’ll want to pack bathing suits and dry clothes for your day. We do recommend booking through the cruise line so that you won’t have to worry about the details.

Swim on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman

Seven Mile Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Grand Cayman, and is absolutely beautiful! It’s one of my favorite beaches ever, with mild waves, white sand, and nice clear blue water. If you just want to enjoy some beach time, an excursion at Seven Mile Beach is a great option.

During our excursion to Grand Cayman, I decided to book a day stay at a hotel we’d already visited on a prior Cayman vacation (the Westin Grand Cayman). Because I was familiar with the island, I felt confident booking on my own.

During our day stay, we had a hotel room and could use the pool and beach throughout the day. It was a great way to get some time on Seven Mile Beach and have the opportunity to shower before returning to the ship.

You’ll also see various Seven Mile Beach excursions offered through the cruise line. That may be a better option if you want the security of being on an official excursion.

Rum Point is a beach area located on the North side of Grand Cayman. It is a bit of a drive, although we’ve been on excursions that included both Rum Point and Stingray City. Rum Point is where the Mudslide drink originated, so you’ll want to try one while you are there.

Since my last visit, Rum Point Beach has had quite a few renovations, expanding some of the food facilities. When I was there, it offered a water sports rental center, a food stand with a bar, changing facilities, and a gift shop. There’s also a restaurant, called Solis Restaurant.

Beach chairs on Rum Point are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Cabanas, day beds, and loungers are available to rent for the day. Coolers or cooler bags are not permitted on the property.

Walk Around the George Town Port

If you don’t have an excursion booked but still want to get off the ship, you can always walk around the port area. Just beyond where you disembark the tender, is the port.

There, you’ll find a variety of different souvenir shops, offering gifts, rum cakes, jewelry, clothing, and more. There are also restaurants, bars, and museums within walking distance. Just remember to keep track of time and leave plenty of leeway to tender back to your cruise ship.

Other Things To Do In Grand Cayman on a Cruise

Depending on your cruise line, you may see some additional excursion options in Grand Cayman. These may include kayaking, a submarine tour, a city tour, glass-bottom boats, scuba diving, cooking classes, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

The shops and restaurants near the port are walkable from the cruise terminal where the tender drops you off. If you need transportation for your own excursion, taxis are readily available. There’s also a public bus.

The best way to book cruise excursions is through your cruise line. By doing that, you won’t have to worry about your tender time, and won’t be responsible for transportation. Book your excursions in advance, because there is typically limited availability and you will see the best excursions sell out.

While US dollars are widely accepted, the official currency of the Cayman Islands is the Cayman Islands dollar (CI$). As a cruise passenger, it’s recommended to just use US dollars instead of exchanging cash.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands, an overseas U.K. territory in the Caribbean Sea. Though overfishing virtually eliminated the native turtle population in the 18th century, today the Cayman Turtle Centre on Grand Cayman teaches visitors about conservation efforts as well as offers the chance to see some species of the reptile up close. Wildlife encounters are popular and plentiful on this island; they include snorkeling with stingrays, swimming with dolphins and spying the brightly colored residents of the aptly named Starfish Point beach. A unique photo opportunity can be found on an excursion to Hell, a rock formation comprising a stretch of jagged black limestone peaks. While the idyllic Seven Mile Beach is the place to be for sunbathing and relaxing strolls, adventurous types can discover the island's scenery on horseback, Jet Skis and helicopter tours as well as submarine and glass-bottom boat rides.
