Spring Break ~ Day 5 ~ Grand Cayman

Wednesday morning we got to Grand Cayman about an hour earlier than scheduled, so we had a little extra time to catch a tender (little ferry boat that takes you from the ship to the dock, since there is not an actual port) that took us to Georgetown. We walked through the shops while we waited for the bus that took us to the boat that took us out to Stingray City.

Stingray City was the most incredible experience! It is a big sandbar 7 miles off the coast of Grand Cayman, where tons of stingrays congregate. The water is shallow enough that you can stand and shuffle through the sand, while the stingrays swim all around,and you can also snorkel. The tour guides will hold a ray, so you can pet it, kiss it, and have your photos taken. The rays are so patient and gentle, and it was the best!

After our time was up at Stingray City, we headed over to Rum Point Beach for some beach time and lunch. The beach was beautiful and shady, and the perfect spot of lunch before the boat took us back to catch the bus back to the port.
