Fort Lauderdale to the Cayman Islands from $292

🌍 About the Cayman Islands

The thing to do in Grand Cayman is Stingray City — not a city but a shallow sandbar in the North Sound where wild southern stingrays gather, and you stand waist-deep while they glide past your legs. Seven Mile Beach gets the postcards, but that sandbar is the real memory. The national dish is turtle stew, still eaten here and now sourced from a sustainable farm; if that's a step too far, order conch fritters instead. Best weather is the dry season, November to April, with January–February clearest and warmest — but that's also when hotels and fares cost the most, peaking around the Cayman Cookout food festival. The cheap months are hurricane season (June–November); September is quietest and cheapest, with real bargains, though you're gambling on rain and the odd storm passing nearby.
