Grand Cayman- what to do other than Sting Rays

Looking for ideas...we generally like to do some sort of island tour where we see lots of places. Is there anything like this on Grand Cayman?? Is it safe to just do it on our own?

When you get to port there are lots of taxi/jitney drivers offering tours. We took one that stopped at the turtle farm (you can see turtles thru the gift shop window), 7 mile beach, and Hell. I think we spent $15 to $20 per person. Downtown Georgetown is compact and easy to walk around. Library is a lovely art deco building. There also is a small but nice local history museum. Very safe and easy to do on your own.

We had a great time at the turtle farm

Grand Cayman is an extremely SAFE place. Feel comfortable doing whatever you wish on your own. :)

There are tours...plenty of them! GC is a very easy DIY port...great public transportation...cheap, easy...

Google it, or get a guidebook at your library. There is NO need to pay for "excursions" on GC, unless you want some sort of boat trip....like offshore snorkeling or stingrays..

Beaches have watersport rentals, if you want to do wave runners...or banana boats...whatever...

Don't go to HELL unless you just want to send someone a postcard postmarked from there ... saying you've been to HELL. :D

Thank you all for your responses. We may end up.going to the botanical gardens and then beach...maybe turtle farm too

You know those things are in very different locations, right? The botanical gardens is about 30-45 minutes from the port, in the opposite direction as the turtle farm. A trip there will likely mean you have little time for beach or turtles.

It does look a good DIY port. It will be my first time here.

I been to Cozumel and I think it looks the same.

The bus is easy to go anywhere? Have anyone found a good map bus?

I like checking out Atlas obscura for cool things to go see

We really enjoyed the car museum...On the west side of the island.

Why is that?

Why is that?

There really isn't much to it. There is the post office building & a gift shop. Behind those buildings is a petrified coral reef. The reef is interesting to look at. But, not anything that I felt was worth a drive just for that. There just isn't much else to see.
