cruisingbajan Posted June 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Guys, Just wondering if there are any tours/tour guides out there that would be able to give us a tour that does not involve the usual beach stops. I guess you may be able to tell from my location why I am not that interested in such an excursion. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingbajan Posted June 17, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Mayan ruins or plantation tours ? Ok...that sounds like something I would be interested in. Do they have Mayan ruins in Cayman? Are they plantation there as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebie Posted June 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I don't believe there are any Mayan ruins on Grand Cayman. We took a tour that visited the rum factory, turtle farm and hell. No beach time on that one. We did this once through Carnival at around $40 per person. The next time we visited, we just waited until we got off the ship and picked up this tour from a local operator. The cost was around $20-$25 per person as I remember. The tour through Carnival was a little better organized, but we went to the same places. You could rent a car and drive around and see the sights on the East side of the island-pirate coves, blow holes, etc. Have you looked at Carnival's shore excursions? They have a couple that are not beach oriented. Pedro St James & the Botanical Park, a kayak tour and turtle farm/butterfly conservatory are listed.

Thanks for the heads up. We may also consider picking up a tour when wen we get off the ship. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
