We loved Grand Cayman. Went to Jimmy Buffet’s place which had a bikini girl that slid down into a huge martini glass, great food and interesting place. Loved Stingray City, too. When my travel partner first told me she wanted to go into the ocean with animals that had sting in their name, I thought she was crazy. It was my favorite excursion, ever.!! A tugboat takes you out to a sandbar, you climb down into clear blue, waist deep water. The stingrays have learned when the tugboats come, so do their treats. You take treats that look like dog kibble and put them out on your flat hand. These massive stingrays (who have really poor vision) will glide through the water to get their treats. They glide right on top of your shoulders. It was overwhelming at first to see all these huge stingrays making a beeline through the water to come close to you and get their treats. They’re gentle creatures, they only want their treats, not you . Wonderful excursion, highly recommended. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
