Download Adventure Guide to the Cayman Islands AudioBook Free
For the outsider the Cayman Islands - Cayman Brac, Grand Cayman, and Little Cayman - are almost always equated with watersports and glorious shorelines, plus offshore banking opportunities. That is hardly surprising, because the Cayman Islands do offer world-class scuba diving in crystal-clear waters as well as a tax-free haven. But these three islands have so much more to offer the traveler who's ready to wander off the traditional tourist paths, walk away from the beachside resorts, and explore by themselves. Diverse woodlands and pristine wetlands take up much of the islands' interiors; durable hiking trails meander across the peaks and valleys; and mangrove swamps cushion the shoreline, offering a unique breeding floor for many birds and seafood. These guarded wilderness areas are often left unexplored by lay-in-the-sun-all-day vacationers, who miss a few of the biggest attractions the hawaiian islands offer. Join our team of Caribbean experts in their search to discover "the other Caymans", the islands' little-visited places from the crowds, where you can trek for kilometers without discovering another soul; strip down and sunshine yourself on a private beach; or become a member of an organization and sail offshore as the sun sets. As with all adventure guides, this book presents you to the history, geography, and people of the spot first, which means you have a good qualifications knowledge of the island string. The authors then take you on a tour, going to all the favorite visitor sites and towns and offering valuable tips about shopping, vehicles, restaurants and accommodations. Then it's on with the journeys: On foot, on and below the drinking water, on rims, in the air, and on horseback. Among the many fun activities included are:
