Be it on air, on land, at sea and even water, Grand Cayman is teeming to the brim with activities that would sure get you going from day 'til night. Sky The beauty of the whole island can be viewed not only when you're on foot; in fact the exquisite landscape of the whole scene is better viewed when you're up there, seeming to have these imaginary wings that help you appreciate the lovely site as you go on the helicopter rides while touring around. For those who are more into action, there are Parasailing Professionals that gently introduce you to the wonder of the sky and the fresh breeze, and of course you can go ahead if you are already a seasoned parasailer. You can opt of single, double or triple parasails, and there are also discounts available for direct booking. Land A simple excursion is definitely not the right way to describe everything that you can do and see once you go out of the Cayman's sun. There are a variety of activities to choose from and a wide range of places to visit, from a relaxation place for those opting for a calm escape to exciting sports activities in search for real action. An ideal tranquil spot, the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, is located at the center of the island, 30 minutes away from George Town and from the airport. After paying the entrance fee of about US$10, you can stay all day and take your time pondering on your thoughts, enjoying the wonderful scenery and bathing yourself in the hot sunlight. There are also places especially targeted for families; these places are enjoyable both for parents and kids alike as they offer various activities from skating to surfing. The Skate Park is the largest of its kind, 62 200 square feet, made perfectly for adolescent fun. Parents and kids can also bond in Pampered Ponies, a particular horse-riding place offering a different horse-ride experience. Here, you get to ride the horses as they swim in the sea. Honey Suckle Trail Rides also offer a slightly different horse-ride thrill, as they have different rides to suit their customers, like guided trail rides, sunset rides, midnight rides and picnics. Water And, of course, being an island, all visitors of Grand Cayman should not miss the different beach and underwater experiences that are just waiting for them to delve in. Kayaking is one of the newest activities available, and different companies are offering this eco-friendly way of sight-seeing. Cayman Kayaks and Atlantis Adventures offer tours by day and night. Witness nature's glory in broad daylight or find a secluded place to watch a romantic sunset. At night, the water gives an ethereal glow as you paddle because of biolumenescent sea creatures. These kayak tours, aside from being eco-friendly, also reach places that are not reachable by road, thus giving you a wider view of the whole Grand Cayman Island. Snorkeling and scuba diving are also some of the most loved water activities that people often come back to do. Water sports, deep sea fishing and boat rentals are also loved by the tourists. And, of course, this place also goes for the beach bums who just enjoy the wide expanse of the sea in front of them. For a day full of fun and excitement, and more, Grand Cayman Island is definitely the place to be.
