Sheffie Posted February 22, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) One time we caught a taxi and had him take us to a spot on Seven Mile Beach. Our favorite thing to do there, though, is to go to Stingray City on an independent excursion. Last time we did one that had a stop to dive for conch, and lunch also. Have you checked out Cayman Islands in the Ports of Call section here on CC? There are LOTS of ideas there.

Rare LHT28 Posted February 22, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Check the Cayman islands forum lots of help there http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=147 You do not say what your interests are :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 22, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Going to the beach is super-easy (buses are cheap and at the port!)... and they drive on the same side as in America, so a rental car wouldn't be difficult.... A guidebook can tell you all the island offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyco Posted February 22, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted February 22, 2011 thanks, for some reason it makes me nervous to "wing it" but going to try, thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted February 22, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2011 You can also "go to" Hell. And get postcards from the Hell post office and send them to friends postmarked from Hell. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted February 22, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2011 ....and they drive on the same side as in America, so a rental car wouldn't be difficult.... They drive on the LEFT side, but most rental vehicles (topless Jeep in my case) are made for driving on the right. :eek: Makes it very interesting when passing another vehicle on the right. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyjane Posted February 23, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2011 When we were in Grand Cayman we had planned to do the stingray tour but the seas were too rough so we couldn't go. When we got on the island there were people there offering tours of the island. A local woman took us to "hell" and gave us a tour of the island. She then dropped us off at 7 mile beach and came back a few hours later to pick us up. It was one of the best day on the cruise. Very unplanned, but fun and relaxing. 7 mile beach is beautiful and the water is very clear and great for swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruuuuznutt Posted November 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'll be there on Dec 10th for my third time. I'd like to just hoof it or take that bus. But just walking around, was wondering what else to see or do? Perhaps of historical significance. Not a big beach person as I live on one. Looking for off the beaten path hidden gems. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Wavey Posted November 26, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Have you read the Ports section on cruise critic for Grand Cayman? It has plenty of suggestions for just hanging around port or finding a few out of the way places to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahInPA Posted November 26, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We've done Grand Cayman twice and both times we rented Mopeds and rode the island, went to Hell and grabbed lunch, and stopped at which ever beach we wanted too. WE also stopped at the dolphin/turtle thing. THe island is so small, you can ride the whole time in a few hours. If you arnt into motorcycles, you could rent a jeep the same way and enjoy your own time. PS we always felt safe riding around the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnchorsAweigh2011 Posted January 5, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would book an excursion to Stingray City. You'll have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
