Swim with the stingrays and Rum Point. Two of the best things about Grand Cayman!

I agree re stingrays and Rum Point. [You can also book this on your own through Nativeway.]

 

Those beach excursions are easy to do on your own. Just get a cab and go - or even the public bus. If you want "toys" or chairs/umbrellas, the cab driver would be able to drop you off near establishments that have those [sea Grape Beach, e.g.].

Just returned for a stop at Grand Cayman.

We purchased day passes ($10 each) at the Marriott Resort on Seven Mile Beach - use of their facilities which were excellent.

Parasailing & jet skis were also available through Red Sail.

Took the public bus over - taxi back to the pier.

Definately do the stingrays and snorkle. You can go to the beach another time. Gotta do the stingrays at least once, and the snorkeling is nice too.
