The Cayman Islands—Close To Home, Far From Expected

Nestled in the calm, turquoise waters of the western Caribbean lie the three gentle islands that comprise the Cayman Islands. Located just a short, one-hour flight south of Miami, the Cayman Islands is easily accessible from just about anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Cayman Airways, the Cayman Islands national flag carrier, offers direct, non-stop service to Grand Cayman from New York, Chicago, Tampa and Miami. All of which makes getting to Cayman a snap and starting your vacation a breeze.

Perhaps the most family-friendly destination in the Caribbean, Cayman offers loads of activities and attractions catering to young and old alike. Snorkel with stingrays, rollick aboard a 17th century pirate ship or simply hike together along one of our many heritage trails. Whatever interests your family, you’ll find it here. This fall, there are even more fun things to do:
