Cayman Crystal Caves

Tourists to Grand Cayman can now see a different side of the island by descending deep beneath the earth. In 2016, Christian Sorensen began offering guided tours of caves on his lushly forested property on the north side of Grand Cayman, and they have quickly become a popular attraction. Formed over millennia, the caves are covered in contorted stalactites and stalagmites. Colonies of bats huddle in crevices, and a crystal-clear lake holds rainwater filtered through the rocks. The 90-minute guided tours share interesting information about the plants and animals of the area as well as the geology of the caves.
