Nestled in the calm, turquoise waters of the western Caribbean, lies the peaceful British Overseas Territory known as the Cayman Islands. Consisting of three islands just 480 miles south of Miami, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman remain our little piece of paradise.
Government
The Cayman Islands highest official is the Governor, His Excellency, Mr. Duncan Taylor, CBE, who is the appointed representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. He presides over Cabinet, the ruling body of the country. Mr. Taylor succeeded Mr. Stuart Jack, CVO. The Governor's term is four years. The existing constitution of the Cayman Islands, introduced on August 22, 1972, provides for the government of the Cayman Islands as a British Overseas Territory. It established a governing body called the Cabinet, which consists of three officials and five elected members, the latter being selected from the 15 elected representatives of the Legislative Assembly. To see the 15 elected representatives or to get more information visit the Cayman Islands Government website.
Currency
The Cayman Islands has its own currency, first issued in 1972, whose basic unit is the dollar, issued in notes with denominations of CI$100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1 and coins valued at 25 cents, 10, 5 and 1 cent. The CI dollar has a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar of CI$1.00 equals US$1.25. Or, the US dollar equals CI $.80. There is no need for visitors to exchange their US dollars into local currency. The US dollar is accepted throughout the islands at a rate of CI 80 cents. However, this can be confusing to visitors: for example, a US$20 note becomes CI$16. Banks do NOT give a better rate of exchange! Major credit cards (with the exception of the Discover Card) and traveller's checks are widely accepted. Canadian dollars, Euro dollars and pounds sterling can be exchanged for CI dollars at local banks. In addition, Automatic Teller Machines accepting VISA and MasterCard with Cirrus affiliation are located at Cayman National Bank and other banks and at Owen Roberts International Airport as well as a few other locations such as the grocery stores.
Geography
The total land mass of the three islands is 100 square miles. Grand Cayman occupies 76 square miles; Cayman Brac, 14 square miles and Little Cayman, 10 square miles. Grand Cayman is approximately 22 miles long and 8 miles at its widest point, reaching a maximum elevation of 79.77 feet in North Side.
Cayman Brac is 14 miles long and 2 miles wide and has the most dramatic topography of the trio. Its majestic Bluff rises west to east along the length of the island to 151.75 above Spot Bay. Many mysterious caves are carved throughout this awe-inspiring natural attraction.
Little Cayman, only 10 miles long and a mile wide, is flat, reaching a maximum elevation of 55.75 ft. Its famous Bloody Bay wall Marine Park has been called one of the world's best dive sites. Inland, the 203 - acre Booby Pond Nature Reserve is a RAMSAR site and nesting ground for the Caribbean's largest population of Red Footed Boobies.

The US National Weather Service listed the estimated time of arrival for any wave impact as 2.21 p.m. on Cayman Brac and 2.37 p.m on Grand Cayman.
In a statement at 3.35 p.m., Government Information Services indicated, “Hazard Management advises that there is only a very low risk of a tsunami following this afternoon’s earthquake felt across all three Islands. The possibility of aftershocks remains and members of the public are advised to stay vigilant and stay tuned to official sources of information including the Hazard Management website, FB and Twitter pages.”

Grand Cayman Island, George Town | CruiseOne
Grand Cayman has a reputation for both its booming financial sector and extraordinary beaches.
This destination woos travelers with soft, sandy shores lined with swanky hotels and restaurants. And yet, you’ll also discover a quiet, authentic Caribbean charm here as well. It’s no wonder that the island’s capital of George Town is a mecca for cruise ship visitors.
If you’ve booked a shore excursion, it will depart right from the port downtown. But those exploring on their own can stroll past funky shops and hopping restaurants from the moment they arrive on the island.
You’ll also want to experience the Seven Mile Beach, which is perhaps the best-known attraction in the region. Or you could head to Smith Cove where exceptional snorkelling, cliff diving and swimming awaits. It’s also a popular spot among the locals.
And if there’s one thing you must do before departing from remarkable island, it’s sampling the exquisite seafood as you dine by the sea. This video will give you more ideas for Grand Cayman shore excursions.

Stingray City Grand Cayman Tour | Cayman Islands
We are the number one Stingray City Grand Cayman tour operator in the Cayman Islands. Our 30-foot center console speed boat puts us in a category above the competition. We also never take more than 12 guests per tour, and sometime less. Other companies will take over 60 guests per excursion, but we ensure with small groups that every guest enjoys the experience, being able to interact with our professional and friendly tour guides.
We also don’t just go to Stingray City, we also go to the Barrier Reef (snorkeling), Starfish Point, Rum Point (restaurant and bar) and the mangrove forest, all in one tour. Other tours and excursions will just go to Stingray City and maybe snorkeling, but we go the extra mile so that you can experience all that the Caymans have to offer. Our video shows all the different stops we go to.
The warm waters at the sandbar are ideal for anyone looking to have a fun day out on the water. The Stingrays are very friendly and our guides will show you how to interact with them in a safe and easy way.
Our boat has lots of space so that you won’t be in a crowded setting. The boat is backed up with twin 250hp Suzuki four stroke outboard engines, meaning that we get to the destinations quick, allowing our guests to have more time at each stop. A lot of companies operate from very slow boats, meaning that the majority of the time is spent getting there, instead of actually being there.
In case you are wondering, Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) was killed by a completely different type of ray, and the stingrays we interact with at the sandbar on our tour are very safe. We have never had any issues before with them, and we intend to keep it that way.
We also provide free round-trip transport for our guests, so if you are a cruise ship passenger or over-night hotel/condo guest, we can pick you up and drop you off if you don’t have your own vehicle. Our excursion departs from the Yacht Club which is near the cruise ship port and Seven Mile beach, which is where the majority of overnight hotel and condo guests stay.
Visit our website today at and let us help you make your trip to see the Stingrays a reality!

Today was a travel day that started VERY Early in San Diego and ended in the Caribbean at Grand Cayman. This is the first time we have visited and we were completely blown away by its beauty.
We checked picked up our rental car (Andy's Rental Car) and then drove over to our home base for the next four days at the Caribbean Club a luxury boutique hotel.
The room we were provided was a beachfront villa (about 2700sf) and was simply amazing. We ended the night with a tremendous Italian dinner at the restaurant Luca in the Caribbean Club and got ourselves ready for Day 2!

Travel to Grand Cayman Island with Monica Walton | Jetsetter.com
Looking for up-close encounters with beautiful wildlife? Pristine beaches? Incredible Caribbean cuisine? The biggest isle in the Cayman Islands—just an hour's flight from Miami—has it all. Don’t forget to subscribe!
0:50 Stingray City:
One of Cayman’s quintessential experiences is paying a visit to Stingray City, a collection of shallow sandbars in Grand Cayman’s North Sound home to a surprising number of—you guessed it—stingrays. It may be touristy, but there’s arguably no place easier (or more beautiful) to get up close and personal with these beautiful marine creatures. Five Star Charters gets you there in style, and has snorkeling gear, snacks, and drinks, and even a jet ski on board for excursions to Starfish Point (where you can see and hold live starfish) if you’d like to extend your afternoon of fun.
2:02 Barkers Beach:
Horseback riding on the beach is one of those pinch-me moments every animal lover should experience, and one of the best spots to do it is Barkers Beach. Part of Barkers National Park in West Bay, it's lined with dense mangroves and remains a beloved, uncrowded spot for taking a dip. Book a tour with Pampered Ponies and you’ll be able to take one of their horses out onto its untouched shores at the time of your choosing, be it early morning, at sunset, or under the moonlight. For an added experience, they’ll even de-saddle your horse so you can ride them bareback right into the sea. (Don’t worry—they love it!)
