Caribbean Challenge
Visit the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park and the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme. See how many of the 250 or so ‘free roaming’ Blue Iguanas you can spot. The Blue Iguana is the rarest lizard in the world and exists only on the Cayman Islands. They grow up to four feet in length and love to sunbathe, turning a vivid blue in the heat.
Each of the three Cayman Islands is quite different in personality with unique appeal. The three islands have the most affluent lifestyles in the Caribbean, matched with stunning beaches and exciting watersports. Visitors are drawn to Grand Cayman,
the largest island of this British Overseas Territory, by the quality of lifestyle and the friendliness of the Caymanian community as well as the white sand of Seven Mile Beach and miles of unspoilt, empty coastline. Restaurants are abundant and range from simple Caymanian cafes to five star dining. Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are examples of true, wild Caribbean, about as romantic and off the beaten track as it is possible to get.

The islands are a haven for wildlife and birds. Visitors can explore miles of walking trails, a turtle and marine park, and 65 acres of the finest botanical gardens in the Caribbean.
