Kayak Tours Kayaking is for everyone - No experience is necessary
Guided snorkeling tours from shore are a fun way to enjoy two different excursions at the same time. Cayman Kayaks provides guided kayak tours from
two locations. At Hammerheads Bar & Grill, within walking distance of the cruise ship terminals and at Kaibo Bar & Grill 25 minutes via transportation.
They are conveniently located where you can get food, water, and near restrooms. You may rent everything you need. Experienced guides will
give you great information along the paddling trip, and a short
briefing about the marine life you will be seeing.
Cayman Kayaks also offers eco-adventure kayaking tours in the pristine waters of the North Sound,the largest reef-fringed lagoon of the Cayman Islands.
Explore the mangroves, bays and beaches of Grand Cayman on a stable and safe sit-on-top kayak. Escape to the remote tropical island atmosphere of
Cayman Kai, a 25 minute drive from the Cruise Ship Terminals. Kayak, swim, enjoy a meal at Kaibo Bar & Grill, or just relax on the great beach.

Fish Market by the Sea Local Fishermen Sell Their Fresh Catch Daily
On a short walk North of the cruise ship terminals, right in the heart of the George Town Harbour area, you'll see the local fishermen cleaning their
morning catch. Snapper, Triggerfish, Mahi Mahi,are just a few of the available fish for sell by the pound. If you are staying on Grand Cayman, this is
a great source of local fresh fish for your dinner. If you are only ashore for the day, it is still a treat to meet the fishermen, and hear their
local accents as they tell you their fishing tales.
