Cayman Islands cruise ports

George Town is a tender call: ships anchor off Grand Cayman and boats land passengers at the central waterfront terminals, from which the Cayman Islands National Museum, shops and a waterfront lunch are a short walk; some calls use the separate Spotts landing instead, so check which your ship is assigned. Taxis wait at the dock, and buses 1 and 2 run from the Edward Street depot to Seven Mile Beach and West Bay. Choose one main outing, whether the beach or a Stingray City boat trip, and leave time for the tender journey at both ends.

Getting into town

A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

How to read these comparisons

We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.

Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.

Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
