What excursions are a rip off and what ones are worth it?

[beccaewert]

I have a group of 3 couples and I am trying to figure out which excursions would be best suited for our group--- we are all in our late 20's

Don't go to Hell! :eek:

Seriously, there is so nothing there and you will be totally bored silly.

What sort of things do you like to do? If it's beaches, you don't need an excursion at all. Same with shopping.

 

But, what we might recommend will depend on what you enjoy! Give some clues, please!

[beccaewert]

Well I would say more on the adventure side......shopping and beaches don't really interest us.....neither do historic tours

[mrsfuzzmo]

If you've never been....go to Stingray City. Do a tour, (private/local companies are recommended for a smaller more intimate experience) whether it be from the ship or a tour company. It's a blast. They are usually half day tours so there is time for other things.

 

We also like to hang out at Sunset House Resort (Oceanside bar, snorkeling, great food) or Paradise Grill (which is near the tender docks) for some relaxing island food and drinks with some awesome views.

We are doing the stingray city on jet skis. Thought that would be more fun/adventurous than the a boat/catamaran tour. Of course it's a bit pricier, but we think it will be worth it (hope so). The good thing is that they usually don't take too many people....so maybe the group of you will be on your own. You can share jet skis. It only takes 2,5 hrs so you will have some time to do other things as well.

Gosh, I like Grand Cayman ... never said I didn't. I only said that I didn't like going to Hell which is basically gift shop and a place to mail postcards with a "Hell" postmark. The gift shop sells shirts, etc. saying "I've been to Hell".

 

Don't waste time going to Hell when there are so many other good things to do in Grand Cayman.

We're also doing the jet skis to Stingray City and Rum Point Beach. Best excursion I've ever done on any cruise and can't wait to do it again!

I agree.."He'll" is just some rock formations you look at and a gift shop...I'm also not a big fan of the rum cake factory...you can buy them anywhere, including on the ship. Both are just way too bus tour touristy..
