Buses in Grand Cayman

[Kopy]

Does anyone have experience with taking public buses from the cruise ship to West Bay and Hell? How long does it take to reach Hell, and how reliable are the buses? Where do we catch them in both directions? Cost? How often do they come? Thanks for any information

You should post this in the Grand Cayman appropriate port of call forum, if they don't move it there.

buses are easy to use just flag them down. they look like taxi vans though.

The buses run regularly...no worries! The stop just about everywhere there is someone waiting!

 

I don't know about your specific routes..but the bus is the way to get around GC!

Hi - we've been on the Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Cozumel cruise several times. We've taken a "tour" out to Hell and the Turtle Farm and the Rum Cake factory - that was a waste of money. The sites are fun, but the tour was way overpriced. The Turtle Farm used to be a little place, really inexpensive, non professional. Now it's a really well developed attraction where you can see all sizes of turtles, pick them up, pet them, learn all about them. If you buy your tickets online ahead of time you can save money. The Rum Cake factory was/is a disappointment. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't a gift shop with a couple windows showing a bakery. The samples were plentiful and fantastic, so it's worth a stop. Hell is interesting, also worth a stop.

All three stops are out on the end of the island. The yellow marked buses go to all three places. You can stop at Funeral Beach on the way back to the ship to experience pristine white sand and glass clear water.

They are reliable, run regularly and are inexpensive. Happy Cruising
