This quick orientation tour will give you a great taste of Cayman with a visit to the famous Turtle Farm and a visit to Hell and back. Setting out from downtown, your tour will take you to the most popular sites on the island's west end.
A stop will be made at the Turtle Farm which was originally built as a farm to keep up with the demand for turtle meat and other products, It has since become a conservation center focused on reducing the dependency on the wild population of sea turtles. The facility is used as a scientific and research center and also is a breeding facility so that more turtles can be released into the sea. Here you will see hundreds of turtles at every stage of development on display in various size tanks, as well as a breeding beach next to a large lagoon where the breeding turtles lay their eggs.
Hell, in the district of West Bay, is an outcropping of jagged dark limestone, which looks like someone's imagined vision of its namesake. You will visit the rock formation and walk past the red hell-themed post office. If you need to purchase a postcard, ask your guide to stop.
During your tour, photo stops will be made in front of the stately Governor's house and also in front of the traditional, tin-roofed Old Homestead, a traditional island style house which is one of the most photographed sites on the island. You will also make a quick stop at Seven Mile Beach, which is world renowned for its beauty, and is considered one of the Caribbean's best beaches.
