Activities and Attractions

Things to Do Fish, Dive, Eat, and Play Lush underwater worlds for divers, unbeatable fishing grounds for anglers, and unique local flavors for foodies - Grand Cayman could keep anyone busy. But, no one will think less of you if you choose to do nothing at all. Fishing The waters near Far Tortuga, on Grand Cayman's north side, offer some of the Caribbean's best fishing grounds. We can help you charter a boat for your bonefish, deep-sea marlin, or reef fishing trip. Dining There are excellent restaurants just around the corner from Far Tortuga - The Lighthouse, Portofino's, The Kaibo Yacht Club, Morritt's Tortuga Club, Driftwood Village Sports Bar, Over the Edge, and Rum Point. If you'd rather cook in the villa's spacious kitchen, Chisholm's supermarket is a short, 500-foot walk down the road. Where to Play Red Sail Sports Dive Cayman Cayman Kayaks Pirates Week Festival Cayman Turtle Farm Cayman Islands Restaurant Guide Diving Caribbean recreational diving got its start in Cayman. The area's crystal waters reveal coral reefs, brilliantly colored marine life, and even shipwrecks. Ocean Frontiers and Red Sail Sports are world-class, full-service dive operations just minutes from Far Tortuga. Reefs at nearby Rum Point and Tortuga Club are ideal for snorkeling. Parrot's Reef and Smith's Cove south of George Town are popular with divers who flock to see vibrant parrotfish, corals, and sea fans. Sights and Attractions The island's Botanic Park is just a few miles from the villa. Its mile-long hiking trail snakes through 40 acres of native woodlands; the park's Heritage Garden features a restored turn-of-the-century Caymanian farmstead. From Far Tortuga, it's just a 30-minute drive to the sights of Seven Mile Beach and George Town, the island's main town. George Town is home to the National Gallery with works from local and international artists, as well as the National Museum's cultural exhibits. History buffs will want to make stops at the town's colonial-era church, graveyard, and reconstructed great house. Nightlife There are a number of bars and lounges near Far Tortuga. Don't miss the Sunday BBQ at the Driftwood Village Sports Bar, home of Frank's world-famous Mudslides! Enjoy the live entertainment nightly at Morritt's Tortuga Club. At Rum Point, there is a great beach bar, lots of beach activites and a live band on Saturday afternoon. To find out exactly who, when, and where check out the local entertainment listings when you arrive. Try Friday's edition of the local paper, The Caymanian Compass; Key To Cayman; What's Hot; What to Do; and Destination Cayman. Your Corner of Cayman See Grand Cayman's Best Side Far Tortuga is perfectly situated on Grand Cayman's north coast. The villa is within easy walking distance of a grocery store. While several restaurants and two water-sport shops are just a short drive away. It's also close to ferries that quickly shuttle golfers to the beautiful courses near Seven Mile Beach. The Road Less Traveled The island's north coast − North Side, Rum Point, and Cayman Kai − is the road less traveled. The area is largely private homes and a few condos. Unlike congested Seven Mile Beach, the north coast has no hotels, no traffic, and no crowds. But just a 35-minute ferry ride or drive, and you can be in the center of all that action, for a while. Until you're ready to return to the peace and quiet of the north coast.
