Inhaltsangabe
To the outsider the Cayman Islands - Cayman Brac, Grand Cayman, and Little Cayman - are almost always equated with watersports and glorious beaches, plus offshore banking opportunities. This is hardly surprising, since 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 willing to wander off the traditional tourist paths, walk away from the beachside resorts, and explore by themselves.
Diverse woodlands and pristine wetlands occupy much of the islands' interiors; rugged hiking trails meander across the peaks and valleys; and mangrove swamps cushion the shoreline, offering a unique breeding ground for many birds and fish. These protected wilderness areas are often left unexplored by lay-in-the-sun-all-day tourists, who miss some of the biggest attractions the islands offer. Join our team of Caribbean experts in their quest to discover "the other Caymans", the islands' little-visited spots away from the crowds, where you can trek for miles without seeing another soul; strip down and sun yourself on a secluded beach; or join a group and sail offshore as the sun sets.
As with all adventure guides, this book introduces you to the history, geography, and people of the region first, so you have a good background knowledge of the island chain. The authors then take you on a tour, visiting all the popular tourist sites and towns and offering valuable tips on shopping, transportation, restaurants and accommodations. Then it's on with the adventures: On foot, on and below the water, on wheels, in the air, and on horseback. Among the many fun activities included are:
- Paragliding
- Sailing
- Catamaran cruises
- Soaring
- Scuba diving
- Trekking
- Hiking
- Waterskiing
- Windsurfing
- Snorkeling
- Driving trips
- Horseback riding
For all of these, the authors give a list of local operators who can set you up and make your experience unforgettable.
