You can visit the seven bird sanctuaries of the Grand Cayman that includes the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, Colliers Pond, Salina Reserve, and the Majestic Reserve. The two other islands in the group have a 180-acre parrot reserve and the Booby Pond Reserve. Avid bird watchers now have more reason to go to the Grand Caymans.

Reserving Cheap Places to Stay in at the Grand Cayman

The Grand Cayman brings in a lot of visitors not only for their Grand Cayman vacations on the beautiful beaches and pristine waters but also for its banking facilities on the business side. There are several accommodation choices on the island that caters to all types of budget. For those who are staying for an extensive amount of time, there are several cottages, villas and apartments which can be rented out such as the Turtle Nest Inn with its affordable $80 to $120 a night. There are also bed and breakfasts available such as the Shangri-La Bed and Breakfast, Annies Place and the Retreat at Lookout Farm which is about $120 to $180 a night. If you would prefer to stay in a hotel or resort, some hotels that are further from the famous beaches or those with fewer rooms are generally cheaper such as the Rocky Shore Guest House. Like many vacation deals, the earlier you book, the more discounted the price will be even when it comes to more sophisticated accommodations.

Have Fun Shopping in the Grand Cayman

One important activity that should be included in your Grand Cayman vacation itinerary is shopping. The premier shopping area in Grand Cayman is the charming George Town where you can just relax and while away your time going from one shop to the other. The island offers you shopping bonuses and privileges that you cannot find in other places. If you plan to take home some souvenir items, there are many local shops that sell unique handicrafts. There are also high end items like designer brands, clothes in modern and classic designs, watches, leather goods, crystal, jewelry and so much more. What's more, these items are sold at duty free or tax free prices which mainland US sellers would not be able to match. It would really be a treat to yourself or your family to go on a vacation to the Cayman Islands and at the same time do your shopping there.

Luring in the Fishes in the Grand Cayman

Fishing in the Grand Caymans has become so popular that it is unofficially called the islands national sport. Fishing trips are always productive because of the presence the whole year round of special large game fish such as blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, barracuda and dolphin (mahi-mahi). Because the water temperature only varies between 8 to 10 degrees, there is no problem with baitfish as well as the larger game fish such as a 200-lb marlin which you can lure in just 450 yards from the shore. There are also other types of fishing that you can take part in like shore fishing, bottom and reef fishing, light tackle and flyfishing as well as night fishing which are all regulated by the Marine Parks Laws. The annual Cayman Islands International Fishing Tournament, the Rotary Club International Fishing Tournament and the May Braq Jackpot Annual Fishing Club are held in the Grand Caymans. So lure in the fishes when you go on vacation and it is guaranteed to bring in a lot of fun.
