Scuba Diving in the Cayman Islands
If you are any of your destination wedding guests are scuba diving enthusiasts, you’re in luck.

The Great Wall is renowned for its colorful coral and exotic fish. It is located off the north coast of Grand Cayman. The Orange Canyon is located off the west coast and is perfect for divers who prefer shallow waters. The nearby Trinity Caves are more appropriate for divers comfortable with deep water diving. The Trinity Caves feature fascinating canyons and overlapping plate coral.
Golfing in the Cayman Islands
There are no golf courses on Little Cayman or Cayman Brac but there are a plethora of options for golfers on Grand Cayman. Golf courses on Grand Cayman sit alongside the famous Seven Mile Beach and boast panoramic views of the Caribbean ocean. The golf courses feature the traditional 9-hole regulation par-70 and the 18-hole executive par-57. The Grand Cayman-Brittania is famed for its Cayman Course on which golfers use a slower-moving ball. The most challenging course on Grand Cayman is Links at Safe Haven. Links has a club house, restaurant, and pro shop on grounds. You can expect to spend upwards of $75 on green fees, including the fee for a mandatory golf cart.
Fishing and Snorkeling in the Cayman Islands
Destination wedding couples and guests who enjoy fishing and snorkeling will be in paradise in the Cayman Islands. The crystal-clear Caribbean waters and fascinating reefs make for world-class snorkeling while fishing enthusiasts are rewarded with deep-sea fish like yellowfin tuna and bonefish. You can opt to charter a boat to go deep-sea fishing or snorkeling. There are many companies in the Cayman Islands that provide chartered boats or you can also inquire at your resort about package tours.
Fishing outfitters on Grand Cayman organize boat charters and take you on fishing excursions everywhere from the reefs of Grand Cayman to the middle of the ocean to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Snorkelers can enjoy the shallow sand bars of the Cayman Islands, which teem with exotic sea life. If destination wedding couples and their guests are not certified scuba divers, snorkeling is an excellent option. The Stingray Sandbar is one of the best places to snorkel on Grand Cayman because you can meet friendly stingrays and feed squid to them.
Shopping
For destination wedding couples or guests that are more interested in buying souvenirs than spending time on the beach, Grand Cayman Island shopping centers are the perfect alternative. You can find duty-free luxury goods and local crafts and jewelry, all without paying added sales tax. You won’t find great deals on items like electronics, china, and perfume like you can at other Caribbean ports but the abundance of local arts and crafts is enough to keep any shopper amused. For destination wedding couples and guests who are interested in buying duty-free luxury goods, the Kirk Freeport Plaza is a good choice. The Heritage Crafts Shop is a good stop for shoppers who want to stock up on local arts and crafts.
There’s no shortage of activities for destination wedding couples and their guests to enjoy in the Cayman Islands. There are a diverse range of interesting activities that both nature-lovers and city-lovers can enjoy.
