Things to do in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands: The Best Cultural Tours

December 31, 2021 Layne Dawes

The farther you go from Grand Cayman's busy docks, the more peace and quiet you'll find. At Stingray City (actually a sandbar), stingrays swim alongside you in the tranquil waters. Closer to town, travelers report finding some of the best massage and spa services anywhere in the Caribbean.

Booked an excursion to Crystal Caves with this company. They asked us to change our original departure time and were late to pick us up at the hotel. The driver gave a brief explanation of the island but was hard to hear over the noise of the van and he didn't seem very enthusiastic. The ride to the Caves was about a half hour and the vehicle was air-conditioned. Driver waited when we went through Caves with a guide. On return, driver seemed like we bothered him when we returned as he was eating and he had to press a button to open the van door. Maybe he was having a bad day. Not very personable when others asked questions about the island and sites. We tipped him although we probably shouldn't have (hopefully his day got better after that) but he drove well and got us there and back safely.

We were visiting for my 30th birthday in April 2019 and decided to do a tour at museum. We did the self tour at Pedro St.James which was very unique. We check out the living quarters of the staff, watched a very interesting movie. Then we came across the rum tasting in the back which was by far the best part of the museum. Moses was amazing he started the rum tasting over for us. The rum is heavenly we bought multiple bottles of each one. Definitely go check out the museum and definitely check out the rum tasting after you’re done you won’t be disappointed.
