Things To Do
Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. George Town, its capital, is home to the Cayman Islands National Museum, dedicated to Caymanian heritage. The city is also a major cruise-ship port and site of the ruins of colonial-era Fort George. Beaches and vibrant coral reefs are the island’s hallmarks. Visitors can wade with green sea turtles at Cayman Turtle Farm, and swim with rays at the Stingray City sandbar or with dolphins at Dolphin Discovery. At the island’s centre is the Mastic Reserve and Trail, a footpath through old-growth forest, sheltering a wide variety of native plants and animals.
Cozumel Mexico
Cozumel, a mostly undeveloped Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea, is a popular cruise ship port of call famed for its scuba diving. At Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park, there's diving spots around a section of the Mesoamerican Reef and the Museo Subacuático de Arte’s submerged sculptures. Chankanaab is an eco park surrounding a lagoon with underwater caverns, home to dolphins, manatees and sea turtles. Playa Palancar and the other main beaches for swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling are on the calm, sandy west coast, site of the island’s only town, laid-back San Miguel de Cozumel. Mayan archaeological sites include San Gervasio and El Cedral, a religious complex that may have contained a lighthouse. On the southern tip of the island, crocodiles can be glimpsed in the Parque Punta Sur ecological reserve, especially near the Celarain Lighthouse.
