Your day begins with a scenic drive to the island's newest attraction, the Cayman Crystal Caves. Nestled in a lush, tropical region of the island, these caves offer visitors stunning views of centuries-old stalagmites, stalactites, and more. Descend into 3 spectacular caves with an expert guide to learn about these amazing formations, as well as the tropical plant and animal life. You might even see a bat or parrot flying around!

From there you will venture to the viewing point for the Wreck of the Ten Sail, where 9 merchant ships and a Navy frigate collided with the reefs one dark night. Learn about the heroism of the residents who jumped into canoes to help as well as the impact these 18th-century shipwrecks had on the island years later.

Continue along the shore to discover blowholes shooting up seawater geysers into the sunny blue skies before stopping at Grape Tree Caffe in nearby Bodden Town for a traditional seafood meal. At Pedro St. James Castle, the oldest building in the Cayman Islands, you will learn how this plantation settler's manor-turned-meeting point for parliament became known as the birthplace of democracy in Cayman. Conclude your tour with a stop at the Tortuga Rum Cake Factory for a taste of their world-famous cakes during your return trip to port. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to take photos. Book this 5-hour small tour now for a day in north Cayman that is sure to be the highlight of your trip.
