Rock formations that resemble pools of burnt out hell-fire attract give this island spot its character and hence, name. Be greeted by the devil-costume wearing shop owner with a friendly, "How the Hell are You?" or "Hell of a nice day, isn't it?" Various trinkets, shirts and caps can be purchased stating "I've been to Hell and Back." Have fun. Leave a Comment Address: Follow Road signs to Hell, Grand Cayman

 | |  |  | Swim with Stingrays at Stingray City | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Trust me, this is a totally safe thing to do. Their name implies pain, but only to those that mean harm. Stingrays in Cayman love to be held, fed, petted, and you will not be dissapointed. Even my wife managed to kiss one after much prodding. We went to GC on a cruise with Carnival and didn't book the excursion on the trip intentionally, as they rip you off. We paid half of what those who booked through the cruiseline did. You will take a short bus ride to the pier to board a boat for the 30 minute ride to the sandbar. Once there you will jump into about 4 feet of water with an experienced guide who will manage to catch a stingray for everyone to touch, hold, and feed. Shortly thereafter we got some squid to feed to the rays. You'd better keep your thumb tucked in, as stingrays have powerful suction. Hoover is still looking for that technology by the way. The rays do in into a little frenzy with all that food, and I received a little hickie from an overzealous girl that sucked on my arm. No big deal, I took it in stride and had a great time. A must do thing in Grand Cayman Leave a Comment Phone: 345-916-7305Directions: You can book an excursion at the pier. Look for ladies holding signs advertising the trip for $35.Website: www.bestvalu-watersports.com Other Contact: sebanks@candw.ky

| | | | Visit (lol) STINGRAY CITY | Tip Rating: | | | | |
This has nothing to do with a regular city tour. You have to take a boat and do some snorkeling if you want to see and touch (feels like rubber!) these magestics animals - quite scary I must say but a marvelous experience I wouldn't have missed! In Grand Cayman, these fascinating and marvelous animals can be easily found, and hand fed in the water, on regular dive and snorkel trips run to Stingray City In mathematics, a 'ray' is a straight line extending away from a singular point, not unlike a ray of sunshine. In marine biology, a 'ray' is type of broad, flattened, cartilaginous fish closely related to the sharks. Southern Stingrays have white underbellies and slate gray, brown, or black upper surfaces. Wingspan can reach six feet (2 m) across on large individuals, however males are noticeably smaller than females. And if you want to know how to feed stingrays check the website below...

off the shore of Grand Caymen is a sandbank where stingrays gather, take a boat out and you can swim with them - its an unforgettable experience. Contrary to what many people think they dont sting, their bodies feel like velvet when they brush against you. They have little fear of us probably because so many people go there to swim and feed them but they dont seem tame and they arent caged, its just a bunch of people and fish swimming together in the warm Carribean. Try to go when the sea isnt too choppy, and dont forget to take an underwater camera Leave a Comment Directions: There are quite a few people offering this trip we paid $20 in February 2003, if you are on Grand Caymen for any length of time at least one person will offer to take you
