The Caribbean > Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands is 240 miles west of Jamaica, where crystal-clear waters meeting lush limestone cliffs formed from ancient coral reefs. The Cayman Trench, one of the deepest points in the Caribbean Sea, lies just south. While the islands have a colourful history of rum-running during British colonial times, legal rum production began in 1984. A Cayman Airways Captain, inspired by the growing cruise ship trade, kickstarted the modern rum era. Today, new artisanal producers are adding to the mix. Despite their young rum tradition, the Cayman Islands remain famous for their Tortuga rum cake, a popular souvenir and delicious taste of the island’s rum heritage for every visitor.
