I highly recommend a rental car in Grand Cayman if you feel comfortable doing so and we did. There was a sign on the side of the road saying where the blowhole is and you can park along the roadside and walk down the steps. Depending on the surf you will get a cool photo opportunity. You probably won't spend... More

There is a small sign on the right (as you travel east) marking the steps down to the main blow hole. You have to watch carefully for it. If you have a car and are out exploring the island you will go right past it. There are no other roads to get to the east end. The blow holes can... More

This is an easy stop, and as others have mentioned, a drive by attraction that's on the map. No need to make this a specifically planned outing. However, it's easy to pull over, park, and walk down the few steps to the rocky shore. If the holes are blowing, picture ops are cool. If not, no big deal. My boys... More

The Blow hole on the way out to East End is worth seeing. The condition of the surf will determine if the show is really good. The day we stopped and took pictures the waves were accually too big and would wash over top the hole dampining the show. There is a small sign on the right (as you travel... More

Beautiful scenery! But the holes don't do very much if there aren't any waves to power them. More

For many years we traveled toward the east end especially so our boys could experience the blow holes. In this spot the ocean waves wash against the volcanic rock and under outcroppings and the force of the water from underneath created large plumes of water shooting into the sky and soaking all that were near. It was lots of fun... More

Each day for a week we stopped but saw nothing - just a load of rocks which were a danger to walk on. No blow, not even a spurt, not even a bit of foam! More

This is definitely worth a stop if you're driving around the island. I wouldn't go just for that. Apparently the water only comes up if the waves and wind are working it. Fun photo op. More

If you are driving around the Island ..which I recommend.Do a drive by the Blow Holes..its completely opposite feel/look then the Seven Mile Beach . Our family which includes a 3 yr old & 6 yr old were staying on the Northside of the island so the drive was about ten minutes.But the kids enjoyed it. We picked up nice... More
