Cayman Islands
Located in the western Caribbean Sea, the Cayman Islands are a group of three islands. The islands that make up the Caymans are Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Under British control, they have been inhabited by Europeans since the 1500’s though not settled by Europeans largely until the 1700’s. The Cayman Islands are a British overseas territory, which simply means that although they under the sovereignty of Britain, they are not actually a part of the United Kingdom itself.
Geography of The Cayman Islands from All Inclusive Excursions Travel Clubs
The Cayman Islands are actually peaks on an underwater ridge called the Cayman Trench. What you see are just the tips of an underwater mountain that is over 8,000 feet tall. The highest point of the Cayman Islands is located on one of the smaller, less known islands, Cayman Brac. Called The Bluff, this peak stands 141 feet above the ocean.

All Inclusive Excursions Travel Clubs loves finding great adventures for you to experience throughout the world. The Cayman Islands offer not only the beauty of nature, but also great adventures because of their unique geography. Due to the fact that the islands are just the tops of a larger mountain range below the ocean, you are provided with opportunities not afforded on other islands throughout the world. The sides of the mountain range are steep and almost vertical in areas throughout the Caymans providing visitors a chance to dive off the edge of the islands in many places without fear of injury. As this is unique to the area, the Caymans cater to this experience and provide guides and excursions throughout the islands.
Scuba diving is also very popular in this part of the world. All Inclusive Excursions Travel Clubs invites you to Scuba in the Cayman Islands on your next vacation. Many places that have great scuba diving excursions require that you travel out from your destination by boat to get to the reefs, but in the Caymans, you can dive right in off the islands and are immediately on a stunning coral reef. See all the extraordinary creatures that inhabit the reefs in this crystal clear water. As this area is known for its diving, many resorts and complexes throughout offer rentals, excursions and lessons to help make your stay on the Cayman Islands one of the most spectacular vacations you can imagine.
