Currency

The official currency for the Caymans is the Cayman dollar, but the U.S. dollar is widely accepted across the island. Credit cards are accepted at most restaurants as well. However, American Express is widely accepted.

Drinking Water

Tap water in Grand Cayman is entirely safe to consume, so there is no need to buy bottled water while you are there. They use a reverse osmosis process to ensure it’s completely safe to drink.

Electricity

The Cayman Islands use the same plug and voltage as those in the United States and Canada; therefore, North Americans will not need to bring a converter on their trip.

It's Illegal To...

Take any coral from the Cayman’s waters. You won’t see any fun souvenirs with coral pieces, either. So, as much as you want to grab some, I would advise against it.

Language

In Grand Cayman, English is the official language, spoken with a distinctive Caymanian accent that reflects the island’s rich cultural heritage. This makes communication easy for visitors, as all signs, menus, and services are provided in English, ensuring a seamless and welcoming experience for travelers from around the globe.

National Dish

The national dish of Grand Cayman is conch stew, a flavorful and hearty meal made from the marine mollusk conch, combined with various spices, tomatoes, and vegetables, slow-cooked to perfection. This beloved dish reflects the island’s deep connection to the sea and its bounty, offering visitors a taste of traditional Caymanian cuisine.

Time Zone

Grand Cayman operates on Eastern Standard Time (EST) without observing Daylight Saving Time, placing it five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5). This fixed time zone ensures that the island remains consistently aligned with the same schedule year-round, making travel planning straightforward for visitors.

When to Visit

The Caymans are located directly in the hurricane belt, so it’s best not to visit during hurricane season. That being said, March thru June are the best months to visit, which makes it a perfect Spring Break destination.
