There isn’t much to Hell, except to say that if you have an interest in geology, it can have a fascination all its own. The quarter-acre limestone formation is black, extremely rugged (you wouldn’t dare attempt to traverse it) and utterly lifeless. It isn't a "must see" destination, but if you are in the area it is worth a brief... more

We recently visited the Grand Cayman and did indeed visit Hell. Not just once but twice. What we found was there was an abundance of life amongst the rocks. Not only lots of iguanas and anolis (they appear to enjoy the sun and rarely moved) were located there but an abundance of bird life. We manage to take pictures of... more

We stopped at Hell (and the gift shop that is painted entirely red) on our way to another excursion from the Disney Magic cruise ship. As Chirstians we were kind of leary what it would be like in the gift shop and the "jokes" to be told. To our surprise the first thing we saw when driving in the parking... more

For a known tourist trap, we loved it. Our guide was amazing, and we all had a good time. So the shop was small...we still brought home souveneirs. Go into it with an open and funloving mind, and you too will enjoy it! more

I was warned that Hell is overrated. It is - so don't plan your day around this destination. There are much better things to do in Grand Cayman - Rum Point, Stingray City, etc. However, if you happen to be going that way, stop in to see the rock formations and gift store. Unfortunately the devil was on a break... more

Grand Cayman was a stop over on a 7 Day cruise in the Western Caribbean. I found the whole experience so enjoyable, but my favorite place was Grand Cayman. The people there were so friendly. We took a bus tour of the entire city of Georgetown. Even the more blighted areas were decent compared to much of what you see... more

My wife and I wasted several hours of a lovely 7 day cruise on Grand Cayman. Talk about a let-down and a disappointment! The island was still ravaged from Hurricaine Ivan (which understandably, those folks can't control). But the big deal that was made out of "Going to Hell" was so overrated that I was walking around in a fog,... more

I just came from Grand Cayman, one of four stops on a cruise this past week. Grand Cayman is mainly for shopping and beach lovers. As far as Hell, well, there wasn't much to it. We almost missed the lava formation (which was all I really wanted to see) it is directly BEHIND the little post office. Once you give... more
