A visit to the iconic Stingray City sandbar to interact with friendly southern stingrays is an essential experience. For upscale shopping and dining, the waterfront town of Camana Bay offers a sophisticated, pedestrian-friendly hub.
Grand Cayman is a British Overseas Territory with a high standard of living. Taxis are widely available and reliable, and renting a car is a popular option for exploring the island's quieter districts. The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are accepted everywhere at a fixed exchange rate.
The King Air 360 is an outstanding choice for the 90-minute flight to Grand Cayman. As a state-of-the-art turboprop, it offers a quiet, spacious cabin with jet-like comfort for up to 8 passengers. Its efficiency on this short-haul route makes it a smart and luxurious option for the quick journey from Florida.
The peak season from December to April offers idyllic weather. The island's premier culinary event, the Cayman Cookout, takes place in January and draws world-famous chefs and visitors, requiring booking far in advance.
