The family week

Cayman might be the easiest family island in the Caribbean: safe, calm watered and packed with animals kids can actually meet. Here is the week, paced properly.

Day 1 and 2: land softly, go shallow

Arrival day is a beach day: the calm shallows at Governors Beach reset small travellers fast. Day two, ease in with Camana Bay splash fountains and the observation tower, then an early waterfront dinner.

Day 3: the animals

The Turtle Centre in the morning, where kids meet green turtles up close, then the ten minute detour to Hell to send a postcard that outlives the trip.

Day 4: the famous one

Stingray City works brilliantly with children: waist deep sandbar, calm water, rays that behave like silk balloons. Book a morning slot and add Starfish Point on the way home.

Day 5 and 6: caves, north side and the glow

Tour the Crystal Caves, ideal for junior explorers, then hammocks and shallow water at Rum Point. If the night is dark and your crew is old enough, the bio bay kayak becomes the story of the year.

Day 7: their pick

Repeat the winner. There is always a winner, and repeating it is the difference between a good trip and a legendary one.
