All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Located in the lush tropical forest of Old Man Bay on the North Side, the Cayman Crystal Caves are the island's newest and most unique nature attraction. These limestone caves were formed over millions of years and were once used by pirates as hideouts and by locals as shelters from hurricanes. Today, you can explore three distinct caves—the Lake Cave, the Strawberry Cave, and the Open-Ceiling Cave—each filled with breathtaking stalactite and stalagmite formations. The experience begins with a walk through a vibrant tropical forest where you'll learn about indigenous plants and local wildlife before descending into the cool, crystalline underworld. Whether you choose a focused cave walk or a full-day combo including Stingray City, this is an essential experience for any Cayman visitor seeking adventure beyond the beach.

Real experiences from real travelers
The caves were even more impressive than the photos. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology and the history of the pirates hiding there. The Lake Cave is a must-see!
We booked the combo with Stingray City. It was a long day but totally worth it. The caves provide a nice cool break from the afternoon sun. Wear good shoes!
Most people just stay on the beach, but this was the highlight of our trip. The forest walk was beautiful and the stalactite formations were unlike anything I've seen in the Caribbean.
My kids (8 and 11) loved the adventure. The guides made it fun and educational. It's a bit of a drive to the North Side, but the scenery along the way is great.
Very well organized. We were picked up on time from our hotel. The caves are beautiful and the 'Open Ceiling' cave is breathtaking for photos.
Booked the private tour and it was worth every penny. We had the guide all to ourselves and could take as many photos as we wanted without feeling rushed.
The crystal clear water in the cave pools is stunning. It feels like a different world under the island. Booking through the site was seamless.
Even if you aren't a 'nature person,' these caves will impress you. It's a well-oiled machine and very professionally run.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, advanced booking is highly recommended as group sizes are limited and time slots often sell out, especially during cruise ship days.
A standard walking tour of the three caves and the forest takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. However, if you book a tour including transportation, allow 3.5 to 4 hours in total.
Many tour packages we offer include round-trip transportation from Seven Mile Beach and the George Town cruise port. Check the specific tour details before booking.
We recommend comfortable walking shoes with good grip (sneakers are fine), lightweight clothing, and a hat for the forest walk. The caves are cooler than the outside temperature but still humid.
Yes, children of all ages are welcome. Most kids find the 'pirate hideout' history and the unique formations very engaging. However, strollers cannot be used inside the caves.
No, for safety and conservation reasons, all visitors must be accompanied by a certified guide provided by the attraction.
The caves are located on the North Side of Grand Cayman, in the Old Man Bay area, roughly a 45-60 minute drive from Seven Mile Beach.
There are no specific age or weight limits, but participants should be able to walk for about 90 minutes on uneven, sometimes slippery terrain.
Unfortunately, due to the natural limestone formations, stairs, and uneven cave floors, the tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for those with significant mobility issues.
