i went there a long time ago (13 years ago). I have been to many islands in the caribbean and cayman islands are wayyy up there. I love it there! I highly recommend going to stingray city. You take a boat out to sea (actually not really...you can see the shore) and you are able to stand and swim with them. They are very trained and see people all the time so it's totally safe. I also recommend going to the turtle farm also because they're just so darn cute!
It's such a beautiful island. Have fun!
@Ames8330: I was there about 10 years ago so things have changed I am sure. I can tell you things we did back then - rented a scooter and toured the Island 20 miles long / 5 miles wide, went to "hell" and mailed post cards (silly I know) took the pirates cave tour, went on a catamirand boat outing , did the pirate's night party boat, took the sub-marine ride, snoorkled a ship wreck, did one day of shopping, and spend massive amount of time at the beach, sand is powder soft. I can't remember any restaurants names but I do recommend that you try the Conch, and the Turtle Steak, both were things I would not normally eat but I loved them both!
I love the Caymens! You will have a blast!
@Gabrielle123: I forgot about the turtle farm. Yes be sure and do that!
Ooh i didnt know they had pirate stuff - I lovvve that kind of stuff! Thanks!
I just did a cruise and one port was grand cayman. By far my favourite port!!!
We did stingray city and dolphin swim which was a lot of fun.
I would looove to do a honeymoon there, the whole island is much more wealthy compared to other caribbean islands. It is British thats why. Driving down we see papa johns, burger king, pizza hut ahha
Hello! My hubby and I got married in Grand Cayman this past May. All of the previous things mentioned are great! Some other things we loved while there: Calypso Cafe (yummy! for lunch or dinner); horse back riding on the beach with Spirit of the West (we actually went swimming with the horses); and Atlantis Submarine (cool night trip).
I love there! We've gone on cruises there twice.

As the locals would say, "go to Hell." Haha! It's not a slam! Seriously, there is an town called "Hell" w/stalagtites everywhere (or is it stalagmites?!). Anyway, it's a cool little area of geological formations & you can actually send "postcards from Hell" at the post office. The people in the Caymans are soo nice -- some of the friendliest we've ever encountered. As everyone else said, make sure to vist the Turtle Farm & Stingray City. You can also rent bicycles to ride up & down 7-mile Beach. Just remember that 7-miles up + 7-miles back = 14 miles in total. (Kind of forgot that on 1 trip & drank a lot of beer before realizing there were still many miles to pedal before reaching home base!)
I lived there for 5 years! (2000-2005)
Definitely see/do:
Cool,but slightly overrated:
Message me if you have any questions! I think you'll find plenty to do! It's a VERY safe island with good people. One tip: BE SURE TO BE EXTRA POLITE! The locals are a little standoffish sometimes (they deal with a lot of uppity tourists all day...can't say I blame them). Say "Good afternoon" and chit chat with them before getting down to business. Don't EVER be in a hurry...it won't help you any! Just treat them like friends and they will be nothing less! There's usually just a minor cultural block in the way at first.
Have a great honeymoon!
Oh, it may call for rain in October...but rest assured..."Rain" means you'll be saying "What's this? Oh crap it's raining! I wonder where we can stand for some shelter...? Maybe over.... Wait....it stopped raining. Carry on!" Every now and then you'll get a good down pour for an hour or two, but nothing too horrible.
Took a cruise one year and GC was one of our stops. We did the jet ski/snorkel and swim with the sting rays. I absolutely loved it!! I really recommend it!! The water there is turquoise and gorgeous!
Definitely do the sting ray swim!!! And snorkelling! But mostly the sting rays, it's an opportunity you won't want to miss.

Has anyone been to Grand Cayman, or is anyone going for their honeymoon? We decided to go here, booked it for a week and I'm so excited! Wondering if anyone has suggestions on what to do there or where to eat, or if anyone has done the Dolphin swim?
