Grand Cayman cruise port

Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is a tender port — ships anchor off George Town and shuttle you ashore by boat — so a well-organised tour helps you make every minute count. The island’s calling card is Stingray City, one of the most unique wildlife experiences in the Caribbean.

Best things to do on your cruise

Stingray City sandbar tour. A shallow sandbar in the middle of the sea where you can stand waist-deep beside dozens of friendly southern stingrays. Boat tours include the ride out and a guide; many add a reef snorkel stop.

Starfish Point and snorkel combo. Pair the stingrays with Starfish Point, a calm beach dotted with red starfish, and a coral snorkel — a relaxed half-day on the water.

Seven Mile Beach. One of the Caribbean’s best stretches of sand, an easy taxi from the tender pier for a classic beach day.

Tips for your port day

  • As a tender port, sea conditions occasionally affect access — book flexible tours.
  • Morning sandbar tours are calmest and least crowded.
  • US dollars are accepted everywhere.
