What kind of holiday is Cayman Islands?

Cayman Islands is strongest for beaches and coastal time, diving and watersports, family trips, switching off, and wildlife watching. The main settings are tropical islands and coastal scenery, and the pace is relaxing.

How flexible is it? Cayman Islands can credibly be planned with a very relaxed to active daytime pace, serene to lively evenings and off-beat to popular crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has relaxed days, quiet evenings and a mixed setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.
