About
Cayman Crystal Caves
is situated in the lush tropical forest of beautiful North Side. Book a

fascinating world. You’ll experience some of the best nature Cayman has
to offer.
All visitors will be escorted through the caves by a
knowledgeable tour guide, discovering the beauty of “Cayman Down Under”
and listening to stories and facts about Cayman’s oldest landmark.
Within the caves, visitors can spy spectacular stalactite and stalagmite
crystal structures formed by nothing more than single drops of water
and the slow passage of time.
Guests will also have the
opportunity to tour the surrounding tropical forest, which is home to a
variety of tropical plants and animal life, including magnificent
strangler balsam trees, air plants and parrots. Don’t forget to keep an
eye out for bats inside the caves, too!

views overlooking a canopy of trees and cave entrances. The Tree House Restaurant & Bar is open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm. The restaurant is also open to guests who are not on the tour.
