Grand Cayman cruise port guide
When Columbus made his landfall in the Caymans in 1503, he found tortoises and sea turtles in such profusion that he promptly named the islands Las Tortugas. But the name that stuck for the islands was the Carib word "Caimanas." Fitting, since the caiman is a New World crocodilian and the islands were long the lair of pirates, buccaneers, and assorted freebooters. Despite their past, the Caymans are a Caribbean demi-paradise of white-sand beaches, coral gardens, and offshore waters harboring spectacular shipwrecks. Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman also boast the highest standard of living in the entire Caribbean. This union of natural beauty and cosmopolitan style makes Grand Cayman a spectacular port of call for today's adventurers. Note: Grand Cayman is an anchorage port. Passengers transfer to shore via ship's tender. In certain sea conditions, an alternate pier is used to transfer passengers ashore. This may cause tour durations to vary.
About Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands and home to George Town, a popular cruise destination famous for Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City, and offshore banking.
Stingray City at the nearby Stingray Sandbar is the island's most famous excursion — visitors snorkel in waist-deep water alongside southern stingrays that have been habituated to human contact. Seven Mile Beach on the west coast is considered one of the finest beaches in the world. The Cayman Turtle Farm in West Bay raises green sea turtles for release to the wild and visitor interaction. The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park in the North Side features the endangered blue iguana (Cyclura lewisi). For history, Pedro St. James Castle is the oldest building in the Cayman Islands.
