Stingray City
Stingray City is in the shallow waters of the northwest corner of Grand Cayman’s North Sound. It is just inside a natural channel that passes through the barrier reef and consists of a string of sandbars crossing the North Sound from Morgan Harbor to Rum Point. Stingray City and a second site near Rum Point Channel called Sandbar were featured on television documentaries and seen as underwater advertising backdrops.

It may be that the stingrays began gathering in the area decades ago when fisherman returned from an excursion, navigated behind a reef into the sound, and cleaned the fish in the calm water of the shallows and sand bar area. The fish guts were thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually congregated to feast on the discarded guts. Soon the stingrays associated the sound of a boat engine with food. As this practice turned into a tradition, divers realized that the stingrays could be fed by hand.
 
The southern stingray, Dasyatis americana, is a stingray of the family Dasyatidae found in tropical and subtropical waters. It has a flat, diamond-shaped body, with a mud brown upper-body and white underbelly. The barb on its tail is venomous and is used for self defense. On Grand Cayman Island the southern stingray swims with divers and snorkelers, and are hand fed on a location called Stingray City.
 
Stingray Sandbar
Stingray Sandbar is the Cayman Islands most popular tourist attraction and is located between Stingray City and Rum Point. Stingray City and a second site near Rum Point Channel, called Sandbar, have hit the big time. Known throughout the world, featured on prestigious television documentaries, and seen as underwater advertising backdrops for everything from automobiles to 9v batteries, Stingray City and Sandbar are no longer quite undiscovered. But for every diver or snorkeler who dares get in that water for their first time this year, with these prehistoric looking creatures lurking just below their toes, the adrenaline still flows and the heart still pumps. It is still a world-class experience. It is a wonderful activity for children and adults alike. You do not need to be a great swimmer to do this activity.

Kaibo Yacht Club
The Kaibo Yacht Club is home of the superb Kaibo Beach Bar and Grill is a North Side gem tucked away on Cayman Kai, and worth the discovery. Coconut palms, fishermen, double loungers and thatched cabanas surround Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill. In the heart of the bar they stack beer with a mountain of ice (600 pounds a day) that would impress any wandering Eskimo. Kaibo always has something going on that is fun to join, whether it be Mardi Gras, Luna del Mar, private dinner in their upstairs dining room or sitting with the locals drinking an ice cold beverage, Kaibo is a fun stop along the way.

Morgan Harbour and Morgans Harbour Restaurant and Marina
Set on the sparkling waters of North Sound, Morgan’s Harbour Seafood Restaurant and Marina offers every diner the freshest of dishes and the most intimate ambience. They insist on using only locally caught fish to easily satisfy any seafood craving you might have and possibly create some new addictions, like the conch ceviche or the fresh caught Blackfin Tuna. The reputation of the Morgans Harbour Sunday Barbecue means that locals often make the trip to this restaurant to enjoy lazy Sunday afternoons over looking the water. Particular menu favourites are the hefty Jerk Burger served with melted brie, or simply the anticipation of deliciously fresh seafood caught by local fisherman that morning.

Rum Point
A paradise beach on the scenic North coast, Rum Point is what Caribbean Island living is all about. For a peaceful trip to the beach or the excitement of the range of water sports, Rum Point is waiting for you. White sand, cafés, water activities, and hammocks make this a perfect destination to retreat from it all. Take a private boat trip across the North Sound. Generally quieter than Seven Mile Beach, Rum Point is the place to come for a little more tranquility. It has an alluring casual and relaxed atmosphere. Climb into one of the hammocks swinging gently in the soft breeze. Maybe pick a shady spot under one of the many casuarina trees. Rum Point is not just a destination for those searching for calm. The welcoming, fun environment gives plenty of opportunities to make use of a great natural water habitat. The beach is protected by an extensive reef, ensuring still, crystal clear waters. Take a dip in the sea, or try some of best snorkeling in the Island, out at the reef. You can rent gear, kayaks, jet skis if you’re feeling energetic, alternatively show off your volleyball skills or go out to sea in the glass bottomed boat. Legend has it that Rum Point was so named when barrels of the spirit were washed up on the beach from the shipwreck of a passing schooner. Relive the legend with a tot of the local rum. Family friendly Rum Point is perfect for picnics; picnic tables are scattered for public use. Consumption of food not bought in the resort is prohibited. However, there is a wide choice on offer. Beach front restaurant, shaded benches as well as free restrooms. The Wreck Bar stands on the site of an old thatched bar. Here bartender Old Judd is said to have invented the world’s first Frozen Mudslide cocktail in the 1950’s.

Snorkeling
Snorkelling is Cayman’s greatest, easiest adventure and an activity everyone can enjoy. If you’ve only fantasized about peeking beneath the sea, there is no safer, gentler and more exciting place to learn this sport than in Cayman’s calm, clear, current-free waters. From toddlers to great-grandparents, snorkelling is ideal for all ages and a great family activity too.  We are ready to teach you safe snorkelling techniques from the basic levels. You’ll practically rub noses with neon fish, float over coral gardens – even stroke a friendly stingray at Stingray City! Cayman Snorkeling provides a quick, easy and very affordable means of exposing almost anyone to Cayman’s spectacular underwater world. Cayman has more snorkel sites than you can experience in one vacation – like Devil’s Grotto, Eden Rock, Cemetary Reef, the Wreck of the Cali, Smith Cove, Tropical Gardens and more. A mask and fins is all you need and included on the Cayman Elusion.

Scuba Diving
Scuba diving in the Cayman Islands is as complex as it is diverse and exhilarating. Grand Cayman is one of the world’s top dive destinations with abundant fish life and corals to be seen on every dive. The dramatic and breathtaking wall dives are unequalled in the world. Dive Cayman’s famous Wall dives on the West Side, South and North Wall, or reef and wreck dives. Enjoy the exhilaration of night diving. Dive sites start in a comfortable 18ft of water with those on the edge of the main wall at 60ft. Those sites situated in 60ft of water allow divers to easily swim to the drop off which goes down to 5,000 ft. On your dives, dramatic swim-throughs and sheer walls, large vase and barrel sponges, sea fans and an incredible variety of coral reef life as well as sea turtles, tarpon, eagle rays, nurse and reef sharks, eels and barracuda are often sighted.

Fishing
In the Cayman Islands, fishing is often called the unofficial “national sport.” Prized gamefish like blue marlin, tuna, wahoo and dolphin (Mahi-mahi) are caught year-round. Thrilling catches take place as close as a quarter mile offshore on all three islands. Popular gamefish such as blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dolphin (dorado) and barracuda are caught year-round. Occasional catches of white marlin and, very rarely, Atlantic sailfish and Atlantic long-billed spearfish are also reported. Our water temperature varies annually only 8 – 10 degrees and the bait fish are here year-round – which means the bigger fish are too. Night fishing can also be arranged.

Island Tour
Maybe you prefer to take in the entire island and join us for a full day tour around Grand Cayman. On your private charter we can fish along the way, or sunbath on the deck, or stop and snorkel at some of the wonderful snorkel sites around the island. We can sneak into our majestic mangroves and travel along hidden channels or stop at a private beach. The choice is yours as you bathe in ultimate luxury onboard the Cayman Elusion.
