Cayman is blessed with having over 360 days a year of sunshine, so rainy days are few and far between. The tropical rains are usually warm and brief however, we’ve come up with a few ideas to ensure they don’t put a dampener on your day.

Indoor Activities

Stay dry at any of the following indoor locations that offer plenty of fun entertainment.

Visit Camana Bay and have a mooch around the fantastic shops, maybe even treat yourself to something new! Then catch the latest movie at Camana Bay Cinema and treat yourself to some deliciously warm popcorn.

Explore Cayman’s unique habitats, take a virtual submarine dive down to Cayman's famous wall, view a turtle nesting site, see the wetlands and learn about Cayman’s animal life.
