New online guide to responsible tourism in the Cayman Islands
New multimedia insiders guide launched
launched by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism and responsibletravel.com The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism and responsibletravel.com have created a new insiders’ travel guide to the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.
Using tips and advice from local people, the guide is packed with authentic insights celebrating the island’s culture, white sand beaches, pristine sea and fascinating history. Whether you’re interested in places to stay, culture, food, local activities and events, holiday ideas, or just advice on the best beaches to visit, the guide provides all the information with a local twist.
The multimedia guide includes video and podcasts from local people telling their stories – including the story of the blue iguana recovery programme, successfully bringing the species back from extinction.
Some lesser-known facts on the Cayman Islands:
- The Cayman Islands were the only Caribbean islands to be truly ‘discovered’ by Christopher Columbus and his crew in 1503, who named the uninhabited islands ‘Las Tortugas’ because of the huge number of turtles they found.
- Just off Seven Mile Beach in around sixty feet of water lies one of the Caribbean’s newest shipwrecks, a former U.S. submarine rescue ship called Kittiwake, sunk in 2011 to create an artificial reef after seven years of delicate negotiations with the US government.
- Little Cayman has the Caribbean’s deepest reef wall, the largest colony of Red-footed boobies in the Western Hemisphere, 1500 iguanas – and just 150 human residents.
- The majestic Grand Cayman Blue Iguana was the first species to be saved from extinction in the 21st Century; now they roam freely in the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park for visitors to see, and tours of the breeding facility are given daily.
- The Cayman islands has more species than the Galapagos.
- All visitors to Cayman Brac are offered a free nature tour of the island, including the 140 foot limestone bluff with nesting brown boobies and huge bat caves.
