While on Grand Cayman, there are a seemingly endless list of activities you can get involved in. If you want a break from the sun and sea, check out these popular things to do on an evening.

A town filled with things to keep you busy!

Movie goers have various options: The cinema at Camana Bay has seven screens showing the latest movies and three VIP theatres with leather recliners and a full menu.

In Camana Bay during the summer months, and special seasonal evenings throughout the year, you can catch a family movie on the lawn under the stars on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. The Ritz–Carlton also shows family friendly outdoor movies every evening - order a pizza while you relax together and enjoy the evening under the stars.

Live Music

Across Grand Cayman, you can enjoy the tunes while sipping cocktails or dancing under the moonlight. Nothing compares to the magic of live music, especially when set against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. Check out our weekly listings for live music in Cayman.

Trivia

Fidels bar inside min

There are several bars that host trivia nights. It’s a great opportunity to flex your general knowledge and even win a prize or two. Most popular are quizzes at Salty’s Sports Bar and Fidel Murphy’s.

Be enthralled by the lively splashes of tarpon as they lurk at the edge of George Town’s waterfront. If at The Wharf, feedings are 7pm and 9pm, if dining at Casanova, feedings are at 7pm. Adults and kids will be amazed at this feeding frenzy.

Editor's Note

Under the Music and Dancing (Control) Act, Christmas Day and Good Friday are now the only two remaining days of the year during which premises with music and dancing licences are not allowed to play music or have a singer or live band play. On Sundays, the licensed premises must only play music at a “low background nature” which is not capable of being heard outside the boundaries of the premises in which it is being played.

Tours

With so much going on around the island, there are so many tours you can partake in. There's everything from kayaking and fishing, to night dives and helicopters, and we've listed all of the best bits below.

Tour an unforgettable experience with a natural phenomenon, present in only a handful of locations around the world. There are many companies that offer this tranquil tour for all the family. You can also check out our round-up of bioluminescence tours in Grand Cayman here.
