What is the general price of a taxi?
Taxis usually run for $6.25 for the first mile and then $2.25 for each addition mile. If there is more than one destination in the route, the driver will also apply waiting time in the total fare. For tours, a taxi will normally cost about $37.50 per hour.

All you need to know about Stingray City Visit our Stingray City page
One of the most popular attractions in the Cayman Islands is the world famous Stingray City and Sandbar. Undoubtedly the most frequented attraction in Grand Cayman, it is currently the only place in the world where humans can interact with wild Southern stingrays in their natural environment.

Stingray City is actually a dive site off the North Sound of Grand Cayman, closely lined by a barrier reef. It is located next to one of the channels that boats have used for decades to come and go between the North Sound and the open sea. Here hosts of stingrays have become tame through millions of tourists feeding them. You can snorkel or scuba different areas of this site through half a dozen water sports operators offering excursions there.

Stingray City has annually been hailed the “best 12-foot dive in the world’, while the nearby Sandbar, which is only waist deep, offers an equally exciting alternative for non divers and families with children. A number of different trips to Stingray City and the Sandbar are available. There are half day and full day snorkel trips to the Sandbar and nearby coral reef, and full diving excursions to Stingray City. You should take with you: towels, and sun block, (masks and snorkels are usually provided on the boat). Food and drinks are usually also included in full day excursions, as well as squid to feed the rays! Don’t forget your disposable waterproof cameras for this experience of a lifetime!

Daily tours and excursions to Stingray City are offered by a group of native Caymanian Captains who have fished, snorkeled and dived in the Cayman waters for several generations. We encourage you contact one of the following water sports operators:

What about groceries?
You are allowed to bring groceries into the Islands. However, we have very well stocked supermarkets, (Foster's Food Fair, Hurley's Supermarket, Kirk's Supermarket), a local farmers' market in Grand Cayman and numerous mini marts and Gas station service marts where you can purchase groceries.


What about hurricanes?
Visit our Weather Page
The Atlantic Hurricane season starts June 1st and ends officially on November 30th. The Cayman Islands is located in the far Western Caribbean, 480 miles south of Miami, 150 miles south of Cuba, 180 miles Northwest of Jamaica and more than 1,000 miles West of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands.

The Caribbean is a large region and most storms have shown a tendency to veer to the Northwest (towards the US Mainland) long before reaching the far Western Caribbean area. Consequently, the Cayman Islands has generally been spared the full wrath of devastating hurricanes. The last occurred in 1932, and the most recent brushes which caused some property damage, were Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, which passed 30 miles south of Grand Cayman, and Hurricane Mitch in 1998 passing about 200 miles to the south.


Will it rain while I am there?
Visit our Weather Page
The year divides into two seasons, the summer or "rainy" season, generally from mid-May through October, moving into the winter or "dry" season, from November to April. March and April are our driest months and May and October are traditionally the highest rainfall months.

This of course, does not mean that it rains constantly during either of those months, but reflects the trend within our region. Being in a tropical zone, it is not unusual to have brief afternoon showers during the summer, and, at certain times, brief morning sprinkles too. Similar to most West Indian Islands, rainfall tends to be higher in the western sections.

What about the heat? Visit our Weather Page
The average temperature in the winter is 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 85 degrees in the summer. Winter or summer, the temperature generally stays within the range of 70 - 90 degrees. The months with the least humidity and lowest temperatures are December through April, February occasionally recording night-time temperatures in the mid 60's, and March probably being the most "temperate" month of the year. We should also point out that most properties offer air-conditioned rooms, and the seasonal trade winds in our region help to make our islands even more enjoyable.

Why is Cayman's diving so good?
There are a lot of reasons. First of all we aren't mountainous and don't have rivers, so we don't have run-off into the oceans, inhibiting reef development. Second, all three Cayman Islands are actually submerged mountains tops so we have incredible walls all around the islands, reaching in some areas 20,000 feet or more in depth! Third, we have always been very conscious of our precious resource and guarded it by establishing Marine Parks, limiting fishing, virtually spear fishing, outlawing anchoring, educating divers and self-policing the behavior of our dive operations.

Where can I play Golf?  Visit our Golfing Page
There are two golf courses in the Cayman Islands, both located on Grand Cayman. The Britannia Golf Course is a unique 18 hole executive with par 3's and 4's. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sunday mornings the course is played Executive format. Otherwise it is played as a very challenging 9 hole regulation course (twice for 18 if you so desire).

The course is usually played with regular golf balls, however the Cayman Ball (that travels half the distance of a normal ball) was specially developed by course designer Jack Nicklaus with the executive course in mind to give golfers the feel of playing a regulation course on an executive layout. Some visitors like to try their hand at this very different experience!

The Links at Safe Haven is a par 71, 18 hole championship layout, measuring 6,525 yards and featuring Caribbean trade winds in a natural setting reminiscent of an old Scottish links. Home to the Caribbean Amateur Championships in 1997, and winner of the 1998 Best Golf Course in the Caribbean Award by Caribbean World magazine, the Links is beautifully landscaped with native plants and trees, offering scenic views of the North Sound. Its North Sound signature hole, a par 3, hole number 11, is a humbling 235 yards from the tips played into strong Caribbean trade winds. Ample practice putting greens, bunkers and an aqua driving range complete this golf experience.

Both the Britannia and the Links are open to the public every day, offering clubhouse facilities, full bar and refreshment cart service. Handicap cards are only required for tournaments.
