Embrace the Cozy Charm of George Town

As the New Year unfolds, George Town in the Cayman Islands offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, especially when the skies are overcast and the winds are gusty. The weather might not be ideal for sunbathing, but it sets the stage for a different kind of island experience—one that invites you to explore the rich history and vibrant culture of this Caribbean gem.

Start your day with the Eastern District Bus Tour(Grand Cayman Exploration) that kicks off at 9:00 AM. This 3.5-hour journey takes you through the eastern region of Grand Cayman, offering a glimpse into the island’s past and present. Visit the historic Pedro St. James Castle, where you can immerse yourself in the stories of the island’s early settlers. The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is another highlight, where you can wander through lush gardens and perhaps catch a glimpse of the rare blue iguana. As you travel, the tour’s air-conditioned comfort provides a welcome respite from the muggy weather outside.

“Victor was a great guide for the day! We had a wonderful time with him on the tour. He provided a good overview of the island and its history. We would recommend Caytours as a go-to service.” - Reviewed on 2024-05-19

“Excellent - We made a reservation for one of your cars without GPS and we had a blast. In from a cruise ship and had plenty of time to drive the island and sightsee. Stopped at beaches. Only advice is to not bring a lot with you, maybe a towel for the seat and sunscreen, you have no idea how fast you tan. Thank you, good experience.” - Reviewed on 2024-04-03
