 | Grand Cayman Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 10 of 17 |  |
Popular Tourist Traps | Miscellaneous Tourist Traps Tips | All Tips (17) YES, it is a tourist trap, but go there anyway, it's still worth seeing! Hell is built up around the odd jagged black rock formations, which I at first assumed were volcanic. Turns out they are actually ironshore, a type of limestone, and algae is responsible for the black coloration. Oh, and your kids will get a bang out of mailing their postcards from the Hell Post Office, be prepared.
PS Is this where "OldHippy" really lives??? Leave a Comment

I went on a tour hear, that we drove around in a jeep, we went snorkling, went to the rum factory, and saw the island, even where Captian Morgan came in. It was an awesome place, and a great tour! Definately would do again!

Try to stay away from Georgetown when the cruise ships arrive. I have counted as many as 10 on some days. All ships calling at George Town, Grand Cayman have to anchor offshore and ferry their passengers ashore by shuttle boats to either of two dock terminals. Passengers disembark in Georgetown, right in the center of the Grand Cayman shopping district. Cruise ships were not as prevalent as it is today and mass tourism was unknown. Revisiting Cayman after 26 years it was a shock to see about 10 cruise ships parked outside of Georgetown disgorging it passengers into this little town. If each ship had about 3000 passengers then you could not image what this invasion of the mostly bikini clad tourist looked like as they swarmed through town devouring everything in sight.
To each his own but when I see cruise ships with at least 3000 passengers then what comes to my mind- The amount of waste produced during a cruise is staggering. In a one week trip, a typical cruise ship generates approximately 50 tons of garbage, one million gallons of gray water, 210,000 gallons of sewage, and 25,000 gallons of oil contaminated water.15 An individual passenger alone generates 100 gallons of wastewater each week. Admittedly, even these quantities of waste are insignificant given the vast size of our oceans. Cruise ship pollution raises concerns, however, because of the cumulative effect of waste disposal from the world's 223 cruise vessels.16 This concern is particularly well-founded where multiple cruise ships repeatedly pass through the same waters.
Stay at home or just stay on the 7 mile beach. There is enough space for everyone and you can always find a quiet corner. Leave a Comment

Hell is place with some bizarre black coral rock formations. That's about all there is to see. There is also a post office, so you can send a "postcard from hell". Not my cup of tea. I'd rather go diving.
Go to the beach, stay in the water, dive or snorkel. Leave a Comment
