Grand Cayman Guided Tours – Pros and Cons
Touring the Cayman Islands for the first time and driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road can be more than a little intimidating for many first time visitors. Many visitors take guided Cayman Islands tours; just as cruise passengers are inclined to take guided Cayman cruise tours. It takes away the anxiety and extra work associated with renting a car, spending time planning and worries about getting lost or any number of reasons — including the convenience of just booking an all inclusive Cayman tour through a tour company or the cruise ship, respectively.

The downsides to pre arranged tours however are many: They are costly, crowded and many tend to frequent sites that are easiest to get to—rather than the most stunning, culturally significant and awe inspiring. Many tour companies receive commissions from the establishments they bring visitors to so they do not always necessarily have the visitors best interests in mind; this is true particularly for cruise booked tours, which generally represent poorest value for the most crowded Cayman Island tours.

Activity Guide is not a Cayman Islands tour company; we are a genuine guide and Cayman’s visitors best interests are our number one priority. We turn away dozens of potential advertisers every month and recommend only the most elite non crowded Cayman Islands sites and attractions that we consider to consistently deliver the most culturally significant, awe inspiring and memorable experiences representing the absolute highest value of all Cayman tours.

Cayman Islands Tour Prices
All of the Cayman tourist attractions, Grand Cayman Tours, Cayman sites and Grand Cayman sightseeing attractions we recommend represent the very best of the best. Most of our land based Cayman attractions are free, with the others charging admission fees that average about the same price as a bottle or two of beer; although admittedly beer is more expensive in the Cayman Islands than in the US—the point being that the average cost of admission to the few places that do charge admission prices is typically under $10. You could easily put together your own Grand Cayman tour with about a dozen stops that would cost you less than $50 in admission fees, with numerous spectacular free Cayman sites along the way. And of course, since you will be visiting only the Cayman Islands attractions you want to see, you could elect to visit only the free Cayman sites and still have a spectacular and memorable day of Cayman sightseeing.

Self Touring, Driving on the "wrong" side
Learning to drive on the left takes the average first time visitor all of about 10 minutes to become accustomed to comfortably; it really is that easy! If you want to prove it to yourself first, you could always select an isolated area somewhere close to home and give it a try. You will be surprised at how effortless it actually is. Both of our recommended car rental establishments offer left or right hand drive vehicles so you can select whichever configuration is easiest for you.

What you really need to ask yourself is this: Is it worth an hour or two of your time to experience the most incredible, beautiful, culturally significant and memorable Cayman Islands sites and attractions at a fraction of the cost of group tours; or, would I rather just book some online tour with a place I don’t know and go see whatever Cayman sites that happen to suit their itinerary with a large crowd of people and strict time limitations?

Grand Cayman Tours for Cruise Passengers
For cruise passengers, the best single piece of advice we can offer is to not succumb to the cruise ships common scare tactics like: "you may never get back to the ship on time" or "you are taking your life in your hands going with someone we do not recommend". The outright laughable part of this is that the Cayman Islands are the safest island in the Caribbean with the most friendly and helpful people you will ever meet, but ironically, usually only if you plan your own Grand Cayman tours. Furthermore, every one of our establishments that accepts cruise passengers has been doing this for over 20 years and knows how important it is to get them back to their ships on time. Fear and intimidation tactics prevent tens of thousands of Grand Cayman cruise ship passenger visitors from experiencing the very best Cayman Islands tours, trips, activities and attractions every month; let their loss be your gain
