My sister and I visited Grand Cayman, because we heard it is a beautiful island with good diving sites. It was off season in July, so the island was a bit deserted, but we did saw some beautiful beaches and did some good diving. Diving is the best thing to do in Grand Cayman. However, the underwater life and the corals were a bit destroyed because of a big hurricane a year earlier. So we were a bit disappointed because the ocean life was slightly destroyed. We did see some crystal clear beaches. Diving in the Grand Cayman Island was quiet a special experience. what to do in Grand Cayman

What to Do in Grand Cayman?
Instead of taking one of the many Grand Cayman excursions, we decided to rent a car and explore the island ourselves. One of the best Grand Cayman activities was a visit to the water park, where we saw lots of turtles and nurse sharks in big tanks.
They were very friendly. You could touch the turtles and pet them. They seemingly enjoyed it too. There were some big iguanas running around in the park too. Diving was nice, I saw some nice corals and fishes, but diving in Egypt or in Mexico was more special. We drove around the island and visited different beaches. Most of the things are pretty expensive and developed in the Cayman Islands. As we know it is an offshore haven, therefore, lots of companies reside here. One of the best things to do in Grand Cayman was a visit to Sting Ray City.
They took us on a boat to a site where lots of sting rays were living and they started feeding the them so they would all come around us. We could touch them and tame them. They were really friendly. The myth was that if you kissed a sting ray, you would get 7 years of good luck. My sister did kiss one. We also found Chester’s Jerk Stand and had some delicious jerk chicken.
On our last night in Grand Cayman, we discovered the city centre of the island. It was a series of pubs and bars around the port. They were painted in different colors. They even had a Hard Rock Café there.
Cayman was a real paradise with its white sand beaches and crystal clear blue water.
