Guided tours of a small-batch distillery with a big copper still & samples of rum & vodka.
Slide 1 of 8
We cruised into Grand Cayman for the first time. After taking a taxi tour of the island, a part of our group wanted to stop and try some rum at the Cayman Distillery. We did not have reservations and did not have time to wait for a tour as the ship left relatively early. But for a very small fee, Athena took us on a tasting tour of the rums and spirits that Cayman Spirits produces. Every one of the samples was different and served in an order that allowed us to taste the flavor without merging the nuances. Athena was amazing. She was friendly, conversational, and funny. She made the delicious sampling even better with her candor and personality. We purchased the "build your own sampler" 4 pint box with Coconut Rum, Banana Rum, and 2 of the Dark Rum. The Blackberry liqueur was a favorite, but it did not come in a pint. We decided to walk the path from the distillery to the cruise tender. It is about a mile, but it was an easy trip. While some have said in reviews that the area is "sketchy", we found that it was simply industrial. My wife and I are already planning our trip back to Grand Cayman and will visit again.

When we first arrived the welcoming was warm. The tour was immersive, engaging, and filled With fascinating insights about the rum making process, from sugarcane to cask. Truly enjoyed the humor from our tour guide, she was charming and funny. They had an assortment of delicious rum and coffee! We had the opportunity to taste the vintage rum along with amazing people we met there. Really appreciated the knowledgeable staff and best of all, we got to meet the coolest master distiller ever!

Definitely worth the visit. Misko was an awesome host and quite entertaining and knowledgeable. What was supposed to be an hour experience continued on into the afternoon. Perk of coming off season. Misko was a great steward of their products, a local family business. We arrived on Grand Cayman with a carry on, now leaving with a checked bag…couldn’t pass up some of those rums!

Wow! The best coconut rum and dark rum ive ever had. This distillery makes their rum in small batches and the technique they use for the coconuts amplify the flavor. I used to drink Tortuga but this is my new go to....amazing! The dark rum is like nothing you've probably tasted. It's a sipping rum, smooth, don't taste alcohol, it's made with molasses. They don't sell in the US or ship to the US so get yourself some before you leave the Island! Customs allows 5 bottles per person. 😁 Oh and the long haired gentlemen working there was awesome, very informative and funny.

We were here on Nov. 12 and we had a blast. Fantastic rum, the tasting was fun and we could not leave without a bottle 7 fathoms each. Thank you (bedankt :-) ) for a great experience.

We went as part of our Cayman’s Classic Food Tasting & Cultural Experience. When we arrived, we were taken care of by Athena who was amazing. Knowledgeable, charismatic, and so much fun! She made the experience so great and we got along so well. We spent a couple hours here to taste the rum and see the distillery. Besides Athena’s great personality, the rum was amazing as well.

My wife and I had an incredible time visiting Cayman Spirits Co. Mishko and Evan were outstanding hosts — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. We had the opportunity to sample several different styles of rum and liqueurs, each with its own distinct flavor and story. They also shared some fantastic recommendations for food and cocktail pairings, which we can’t wait to try at home! The tour of the distillery was fascinating, offering a great behind-the-scenes look at how their rum and gin are made. We were also impressed to learn that a portion of their gin sales supports breast cancer research — such a meaningful cause. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip. The drinks, the atmosphere, and especially the people made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend a visit to Cayman Spirits Co.

One of the best distillery tours I have ever been on. Mischa from Croatia the assistant distiller was an awesome host/ guide! He explained all of the flavors and history of there products and lots of history of the island! Best part was lots of tastings! Dark and the coconut were out favorites but not a bad one in the batch. Make your reservation early!!! Wish I gotorr pics but I was to busy tasting!!

Very beautiful town, polite people. The policeman who conducted the traffic was entertaining. The scenery along the coastline was marvelous. We followed a walking tour from gpsmycity, we did not quite complete because it was a little too long.

This port was definitely one of my favorite in my Caribbean cruise. The town is nice and pretty clean, the beach and the water is absolutely beautiful. A great place for snorkeling!

We took an air conditioned shuttle ($6US) each way to the seven mile beach (public beach). Happy tours I think it was called. Sign was pink. Great port and great day.
Laura R — Google review
I didn’t have time to look around the port. I booked the shore excursion that lasts the entire duration of the stay (even the ship’s stay duration). It’s still good to look around if you have time.
TopGamesPlay — Google review
Getting off Celebrity Cruise Apex to see the town, I was disappointed in the Port. I didn’t expect much but I was still disappointed. I’m sure the rest of Grand Cayman is beautiful but the port is just tourist gift shops and restaurants. Everyone was nice but the shop workers kept pushing each store you walked past. Once outside the main port, it doesn’t get much better. The sidewalks are not really wheelchair friendly with heavy traffic going by. The water looks beautiful and you could get to a small sandy beach to walk into the water just outside the port security area. The bottom line is, take an excursion or stay on the ship.
Bill L — Google review
Amazing port of call, we felt safe and there were plenty of venders. If you want to book an excursion simply get off the ship and head to a taxi or a tour group for booking. I would highly recommend stepping off the ship and experiencing what this port has to offer
Brock B — Google review
Decent cruise ship port, nice little town with lots of shops. Don't expect cheap price though. The shoreline has lots good scenery spots, with some swimming / snorkeling area. Huge fishes (tarpon?) swimming around people in crystal clear water, quite amazing
Ning S — Google review
This is smaller than other ports and rightfully so. There's multiple water taxis dropping off and picking up passengers. It's extremely hard to get on the wrong ship when leaving the port since there are multiple signs and they check your ship ID card multiple times. The port has a good number of shops and eateries. There's a designated spot for pre-booked excursions, but there's also folks offering tours and such at the port. If you choose to go off on your own, be prepared to show your cruise ID to get back inside the port... even when leaving the shops. Since a few of the shops have street access, there's security at the store exits to ensure you're on a cruise. So have your ID ready. Lastly, there's a great spot to get a picture of the ship behind you before getting back on the taxi.

Cool place to stop in and have a beer while picking up a sampler six pack. Pints were $5 which was an absolute deal for cold, quality beer. The bartender was friendly and able to direct me to a beer that was perfect for my taste. There was an outdoor seating area which we didn't visit but it looked inviting as well. Loved the overall vibe. Great merchandise/gift options as well.

I don’t want to support just cause it’s local, but I love the atmosphere! The staff is always supporting and willing to explain plus, they are knowledgeable about all the products. Don’t miss out! Love the draft and the service draw you in and keep you for a bit! Awesome guys, keep going!

My go to spot for a nice cold drink with the boys. Good atmosphere inside and they have burger shack food truck so u can order inside and eat while having a cold one. Also the price here is very affordable!
TopDog345 — Google review
Awesome spot - it's pretty small, but the beer is cheap and the variety is quite good. Tons of cool Ts to buy, but a bit pricey. You can buy beer to-go, we even brought some home with us. I definitely recommend this brewery as a stop on Grand Cayman.
Ilya K — Google review
A must visit on the island. A great place to sit and enjoy a beer at a very reasonable price and great staff as well. Strongly suggest buying any take away beer you need from here as cheaper than anywhere else on the island. They also have some beers you can’t get in cans or bottles.
Dave B — Google review
This place is always a favourite local beer spot. If you want to enjoy local beer on Cayman Island, you should try Cayman Island Brewery which is located at 366 Shamrock Road. They have a beer-tasting flight which is highly recommended, as well as Mango tango which is a mango flavour beer. 🍻🍻🍻🍻 If you are hungry you can order food from Yummy Tummy, and they will be delivered the food to the brewery.

Absolutely lovely and a must-see when visiting! A beautiful showcase of the island’s creative spirit, filled with unique and inspiring art. You can really see the incredible talent and skill that went into every piece.

TimeBack exhibit showcased historical photojournalist images from the islands past. The upper floor contained artwork from local artists, there is also a sculpture garden in the back. Admission was free at the time of this review. Overall great experience and a good way to get out of the heat for a couple hours on your trip.

I came across an incredible gallery filled with art and history that many, including locals, may have forgotten. The art was diverse and the scenery was beautiful. They had many unique sculptures and artworks created by worldly artists using different mediums. The gallery offers free entry, but encourages donations. It was my favorite discovery during my vacation.

Had a marvelous visit yesterday at National Gallery, rather small but always on point with many hidden gems. They also focus on education/outreach programmes and research projects. Thanks and kudos to y'all♥️ FYI current exhibitions are, -TimeBack (until Sep 3) -Evolutions (until Nov 1)

Lovely way to spend an hour or two admiring art. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The entire facility and gardens were immaculately kept. It was raining when we visited, so we didn't spend as much time in the garden. What we saw was beautiful with functional and decorative pieces. Great photo ops. No admission fee was charged, but there is a donation box to contribute to the operating expenses.
Katherine M — Google review
A fantastic gallery to visit. Small but a perfect example of the incredible artists we have on the island. A variety of artists show permanent exhibits plus temporary shows as well. Also a little cafe and a beautiful garden with sculptures and a small maze. Not huge but still worth a visit. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Rverityhk1 — Google review
Small but impressive art gallery! Can be done in an hour or so! The lower level has exhibits that are temporary and rotating. The upper level - permanent e exhibits by Cayman Islands artists. Both are impressive. The nicest thing is that the art represents local life and history of the islands through the ages! There is a sad undercurrent of sadness brought on by development and loss of the older ways of life! Would love to recommend this to anyone. Plus it's all free!

I decided to take a leisurely stroll during my visit and came upon this historical site. This is located right outside the port terminal, so it's easy for visitors to get to. I didn't know much about the Cayman Islands, but any amount of history is appreciated. Although it's a smaller historical site, I suggest every person visit.

Quick 15 minute stop to read about the Fort George. It’s in a busy location, but there is parking available and lots of stores and good restaurants. Is busy when cruise ships are in, but otherwise not so busy area
Mian M — Google review
Just some small ruins, an observation tower and a couple cannons. Almost nothing left, due to it being knocked down by developers some decades ago. It's a shame the government of Cayman does not seem to care about preserving what little history they have.

Small island, beautiful and bursting with tourists. A good place to visit and spend time with family and friends.
Agboma . — Google review
Some might view this place in other light but I believe the rustic dirty look works for it. Almost like a fisherman town vibe. Little shops all around. Being a tourist I don’t know much about the area but I just feel it needs slightly more attention from the local govn’t with as much funding as it can. A lot of people want to come see this.

Very interesting history of the fort although not much has been saved. They have the markers and murals to explain the significance of it.
