Cayman Kai is widely recognized as the “quiet side” or “Island-y side” of Grand Cayman. If the hustle and bustle of George Town or the magnitude of the properties on Seven Mile Beach just doesn’t hit the spot for you then the tranquil seclusion of Cayman Kai is just what the doctor ordered. About a 45 minute from the airport – you’ll be in a hammock relaxing with a mudslide in your hand watching the waves roll in…

Things To Do in Cayman Kai

Although it is much quieter than most of the other districts, Cayman Kai offers plenty of thing to do (provided you don’t just want to relax of course). There are stunning secluded beaches and vistas to explore featuring mature palm trees and the squawking of Cayman’s famous green parrots. There are plenty of opportunities for boating, kayaking, upright paddle boarding and of course swimming. The bioluminescent bay is one of the few places you can swim in the world where the water lights up with living organisms creating a surreal light show as you and the wildlife swim through.

Tours are available for this in the evenings and it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Stingray City is also a rare and unique opportunity to interact with ocean life just off the shores of Cayman Kai in the north sound. Stingray City is actually a shallow sandbar where visitors can handle stingrays, feed them and interact with fish and whatever other animals that happen to be passing through. If you’re really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a reef or hammerhead shark cruising up from the depths.

There many tour operators that offer tours several times a day. Another must see are the Cayman Crystal Caves. These are naturally occurring caves that feature tours to view the stalactites and the stalagmites. There is also a small underwater lake in the main cave though this is one of the few places in Cayman that you can’t swim. The caves are about a 10-minute drive from Cayman Kai. Go a wee bit further and you can see the native blue iguanas and various other flora and fauna at the Botanical Park. You can also witness starfish in their natural habitat in Cayman Kai.

Just be mindful that you should never remove them from the water as it harms the animals. You can pick one up gently for a quick photo but you must not let them breach the surface and you should be very gentle when you place them back in on the seafloor. Getting hungry after all of this or just working up an appetite in your hammock? Head on over to the Kaibo Yacht Club where they feature island food and drinks as well as brick oven pizza and a coffee shop.
