You'll never be short of things to do in The Cayman Islands. World-class scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing are just the beginning of your Islands' adventure. The Islands' history is rich in exotic detail, as our Museums, Botanic Park and National Trust clearly demonstrate. So whether it's a trip under the sea to feed the stingrays, an excursion to the Boatswain's Beach for a hands-on experience of one of nature's most inspiring miracles, or a journey into the past to revisit the first landing by Christopher Columbus, a feast for the senses-and sensibilities-awaits.

Cayman Turtle Farm is a major tourist attraction, popular with both kids and adults. There are petting and holding tanks for turtles ranging from hatchlings to giants weighing hundreds of pounds. Dedicated to conservtion and research as well as food production, the Cayman Turtle Farm has released thousands of tagged turtles back to the sea.

Christopher Columbus Gardens, located on the majestic Bluff the park was the vision of the Cayman Brac Quincentennial Committee and is the home of the Wall of Honour which lists 500 names of past and present prominent people in the community �who contributes significantly to the development of the Sister Islands over the past 500 years� and a relief of Christopher Columbus. There are also several boardwalks and a gazebo constructed to fit in with the natural surrounding environment. The beautiful flora adds a special touch to this magnificent location.

Cayman Island National Museum overlooks the bay in George Town and is housed in a 150 year-old former court house. You'll find natural and cultural exhibits, including a three-dimensional panorama of the undersea canyons and mountains surrounding the islands, along with a museum shop and café.

Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Garden contains 65 wildly photogenic acres, 40 of them a preserve of native plants and wildlife. In addition to a large lake and heritage and floral color gardens, you can also see rare Grand Cayman blue iguanas. The Garden also houses a visitors center, gift shop and small café.

Grand Cayman Butterfly Farm opened on Feb. 14th 2003. The Butterfly Farm contains large meshed structures filled with lush tropical gardens and colorful butterflies from around the globe. A guided tour takes visitors through the Farm, and if you come in the early morning you may be lucky enough to see newly-emerged butteflies take their first flight.
