17 things to do in Grand Cayman when you aren't diving

[Divetech Cayman]

Hello Scubaboard!

A common question we get is "What is there to do in Grand Cayman?" Many of customers are coming to the island with non-diving partners and are looking for things to do that don't involve diving. We took the time to make a list - some of the things you've heard about, along with some you may not have.

Thanks. Saw a couple of new things to do next April when I'm there.

Thanks,I've been to GC 30 + times over the years but was still not aware of all of these to do options.
Very helpful.

We do a lot of the things on your great list with our visitors, and the two favorites seem to be the bio bay (best to do it as a snorkel trip to get the full effect), and the distillery tour (plan to drink a lot of samples!). I like the botanical garden, while my wife likes to take people on the submarine tour (she's not a diver, so it's her chance to get up close to the marine life). If you have any interest in cars (I happen to have a few relatives who either restore old cars or are in car-related businesses), the Cayman Motor Museum can be interesting. And the Cayman Farmers Market/Crafts Market at the cricket grounds can be fun, especially if you are doing your own cooking - and if so, then you also have to buy some fresh fish at the dayboat market in Georgetown, under the tents next to Casanova restaurant.

1-17. Drink and Gamble at a Casino

Do we have a casino now?? It’s a great list Tony. I would add a trip to The Dart Family Park which is a great spot and for those with a little bit of an adventuresome heart, a trip to the batcaves if you are headed out east.

I have stayed at Rum point and can say that crystal caves and the bioluminescent bay are worth it. The place I stayed had a clear canoe. I put it in the back of our suv and took my wife and two girls down the street and launched. At first we didn’t see anything and thought it was a bust. Once our eyes adjusted to the dark we started to see it. My girls spotted it first in my paddle strokes, then the clear canoe gliding created sparks underneath us. It then started to rain and we just paddled around the lagoon in the rain watching the blue.
