View from the Brac’s caves
To miss out on our lovely Sister Islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman would
be such a shame as they offer a complete change of pace from the bustle of their big sister Grand Cayman. A place where the locals go to vacation, the Sister Islands have some of the most gorgeous beaches, brilliant dive sites, natural beauty and old world charm that make them the perfect location in which to enjoy some serious downtime.
Cayman Brac’s Whistling Ducks
CAyMAN BRAC –
A NATuRE LOvER’S DREAM
Cayman Brac is a tiny island that runs about 12 miles in length and is about 1.2 miles wide. Much loved for its stunning scenery that takes the form of a craggy 140 foot limestone cliff known as The Bluff, (which gave the island its name, as ‘Brac’ is Gaelic for bluff), the island
is a particular draw for nature lovers keen to explore the Bluff’s honeycomb of caves, as well as climbers who want the challenge of climbing this highest

point of the Cayman Islands. The Brac welcomes nature tourists, with hiking trails, boardwalks, interpretive signs
and ecology panels and historic sites, informing visitors so they can appreciate the diverse and exotic local flora and fauna.
Bird watching is a popular pastime on Cayman Brac because around
200 species live there. Try and spot frigatebirds and brown boobies, as well as the endangered Cayman Brac parrot. Wetland ponds are home to herons and
the rare West Indian whistling duck. Visit the National Trust Parrot Reserve and Nature Trail for true biodiversity set in 281.6 acres of ancient forest.
The Brac offers beautiful clear, warm waters that are perfect for scuba diving and rich with lively underwater fauna and flora. To add to the diving excitement here, two decades ago a 330 ft. Russian frigate was scuttled on the Brac’s north shore and now, the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts, as it is known, is one of the most exciting dives in the Cayman Islands.
