Passport Stamp From a Cruise Port
When you debark from the tender that will take you from your ship to the shore, walk around to the Immigration Office, in the building to the far left - above the souvenir shop. It is a government office - just ask for a stamp in your passport, and the nice folks behind the desk will oblige!

Relax
Because that is what Cayman is all about. Enjoy your day.............Go to bed early and enjoy the next day. You'll save alot of money that way. We have been there many times and going again. It is not an inexpensive island, but obviously worth the money................... Again, after Aruba, I must say, just be careful............Been there too, AND we did NOT like the feeling of that island.............

It's all good..............

Convert Your Currency
It became apparent by day 2 of our trip that we needed to convert our U.S. currency over to CI dollars. Few places would give you change in U.S. dollars so you might want to put items on your plastic or just convert your money.

Kissing a Stingray
Seven years good luck for me - Grand Cayman
Seven years good luck for me
by sargentjeff
Send Photo to a Friend
It's seven years good luck to kiss a Stingray, and I could really use that luck. At first the rays seem a bit intimidating, but after being in the water a few minutes around them it's actually pretty cool. The real fun starts when you bring out the squid to feed them. These creatures eat by sucking to food right out of your hand, and it's likely one will suck your arm or hand. Don't worry, they have no teeth. Their mouths feel more like rough sandpaper. When holding one you've got to keep their head under water. Always hold them from the front. Let the ray rest gently on your outstretched arms, while you relax. If you lift their heads out of the water you'll get a stingray shower as they blow water out of their mouths.

Unique experience of Cayman
Kayaking We did some kayaking with a company called Cayman Kayaks. We did a Sunset Tour and their Bioluminescence Tour. Neither my husband nor I have ever kayaked and we found it very easy. Very enjoyable to glide on the Caribbean with an introduction to the Mangroves, stop at sunset for a Rum Punch and watch the sun disappear on the horizon. The tour that takes your breath away and is almost indescribable is the Bioluminescence Tour. You paddle to a cove full of glow-in-the-dark ?water?. You stir up the water and it?s a glowing cloud of light. They do a great job of explaining the phenomenon. It has to be pitch black to get the best effect so the tour only runs for a couple of weeks a month. We lucked out with our timing. . When the fish streak by, they leave a trail of light like fireworks, leaving you speechless. They mentioned that there is only one other place in the world with such concentrated bioluminescence I highly recommend trying something unique like this.

Clean, modern, stable.
Possibly the best standard of living of the islands in the Caribbean. This might be perhaps due to the numerous foreign banks and investments from elsewhere. Nice medium to high quality shopping and touristy restaurants in town. Lots of activities on, in, and under the water. Numerous hotels of moderate to high quality yet still affordable. Popular place to fly into for a long weekend, or stop for the day by cruiseships. Still a British flavor on the island. Great rum, rum cakes, jewelry, perfumes, and usual fare for shopping.

Excellent Beaches, A class Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving is great there,. They have many sights for both beginers and advanced divers, from shallow to the Caman Brac Wall. Stingray city is a must for all even snokellers. They are friendly people and the weather is always great.

The peace and quiet. It really is pure paradise.
