We are very sorry that we only had one day to visit this fantastic island. I planed the day to see as much as possible, so we took a taxi for a scenic drive along the seven mile beach, past the Governors Mansion along the cost road to the post office in hell and on to swim with the Dolphins,...

We stopped off in Cayman as part of our cruise and it was easily the best island we visited. There was so much to do, we did Stingray city on jet skis, it should be on everyone’s bucket list. We also went to the Turtle farm before hitting Tiki Beach for some amazing food and rum punches! For anyone planning... More

We visited Grand Cayman for the fourth time this month. The first time we visited we did the island tour and swam with the stingrays. The stingray adventure was a once in a lifetime adventure and one that we will never forget. I wouldn't bring small children or someone that is afraid of the water on this tour. Everyone wears...

If you go to the rum cake factory across from the turtle farm, forget the rum cake and have a "BEEF PATTI" (island snack specialty) and a beer More

A wonderful destination for families. Island is safe and friendly. Weather is wonderfully warm. There are activities available or one can sit and watch the sea. Visited Dolphin Cove, which has an "encounter" programme for those who can't or don't want to swim with the dolphins. Turtle farm is interesting and can be an hour long visit, or with the... More

Cayman in a Nutshell was all that we expected and more. We disembarked the cruise ship and followed the simple directions we had been given in our email after booking online, walking a short distance down from the pier to the meeting place. We were informed that we were the only couple that day doing the entire tour, both land... More

There were 8 of us who went on this tour, from ages 4 to 70. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day! Grand Cayman is a beautiful island, and the tour went just about as smoothly as it possibly could have. We easily found the office across from the dock to meet. They took us to the spot where we caught... More

We wanted a way to see the best of Grand Cayman on our stop. We only had a few hours there so we decided to go with Cayman in a Nutshell. They were wonderful! We followed the directions they emailed to us and they were easy to find. Our guide Dennis bused us in a very nice air conditioned bus... More

We booked the tour after reading so many good reviews about it. It was great! Here is what we got for our money( and it was a lot cheaper than going through the cruise ship!): 1. Stingray City and a snorkel tour. There were only 5 of us on the boat!!! There was water and fruit punch to drink. When... More

This tour provides a good value to people looking for alternatives to more expensive cruise ship tours, especially if you book online for the advance booking price. When we went, heavy winds closed stingray city, so that was really disappointing. However, the crew onboard did a great job adjusting. They took us to the snorkel spot that had stingrays too,...
