Other Things to Do on Your Grand Cayman Vacation
After you’ve shopped till you drop, there are many attractions and activities you won’t want to miss. Here are a few suggestions for things to do in Grand Cayman that are off the beaten path.
Mastic Trail
You won’t find mountains to climb in Grand Cayman. The island’s highest point is only 79 feet above sea level! But that doesn’t mean our tropical paradise lacks mellow walks that allow you to enjoy the stunning scenery and local birds and wildlife. The historic Mastic Reserve Trail is a lesser-known but worthwhile attraction on the north side of the Island that will lead you through mangroves and old-growth forest on a satisfying four-mile round-trip hike.
USS Kittiwake
Dive or snorkel on the wreck of the USS Kittiwake, a 251-foot-long former submarine support ship. Following almost 50 years of active service in the US Navy, she was sunk in 2011 to serve as an artificial reef and an ocean tribute to seafarers worldwide. The water is clear enough to see the wreck from the surface and is ideal for snorkelers and people diving for the first time. Explore the ship deck by deck or snorkel from above to see 50 species of coral and more than 500 species of fish.
Starfish Point
The crystal-clear water at this beach on the northeast tip of Grand Cayman, also known as Ivory Kai Point, is often full of amazing orange Cushion Starfish that gather here to feed on micro-organisms found on the seabed, depending on the season and tide. Snap photos, but don’t remove starfish from the water or think about keeping one (they’re protected by law, and you will risk a fine or prison time).
Crystal Caves
This geologic wonder, situated in a lush tropical forest in North Side, Grand Cayman, took millions of years to form as seawater erosion created caverns filled with stalagmites, stalactites, crystal-like mineral deposits, and a gorgeous interior lake. The caves are rumored to have been a hideout for pirates, but three of them are now available for daily tours (except Good Friday and Christmas Day).
