Island Routes Tours brings its best-of-the-best philosophy and ground breaking industry standards to the Cayman Islands, now expanding its roster to seven destinations that showcase the unique culture and attractions in Antigua, The Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, the Turks & Caicos Islands and now Grand Cayman.

“The Cayman Islands embody the vision of sun, sea and sand in the Caribbean. Its welcoming people and an array of natural attractions make it a destination that fits perfectly within the Island Routes Tours family,” says David L. Shields, General Manager of Island Routes Caribbean Adventure Tours. “Adventurers and fun seekers who made the Cayman Islands the number one TripAdvisor® Travelers’ Choice 2011 in the Caribbean and Mexico have also helped make us the Caribbean’s fastest growing tour company.”

“The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism is pleased to embrace Island Routes Caribbean Adventure Tours as an organization that fully recognizes the beauty and quality of our destination, and one that is able to provide quality assistance to visitors seeking unique Caymanian experiences for luxury travel,” said Acting Director of Tourism, Shomari Scott. “We look forward to a long and fruitful business relationship with Island Routes Tours and we hope visitors to our islands will choose to take advantage of this prestigious company when booking their Cayman Islands’ tours and activities.”

Award-winning Island Routes Tours offers one stop shopping for Caribbean vacation thrills with wide appeal. Adventurers can book every tour with confidence due to the company’s unprecedented customer service standards including a low price guarantee, money back assurance, easy cancellations and unmatched insurance coverage, just to name a few.

All “routes” lead to the water in the Cayman Islands where residents say there are “five shades of blue before you hit the sky,” and Island Routes Tours guests will meet the unique underwater inhabitants that make it such an unforgettable destination. Southern Stingrays welcome visitors to their sand bar effortlessly gliding by snorkelers and ready to be taken in hand for a photo op, while dolphins slide right out of the water to join their guests for their close-up encounter. Kayakers are escorted through the mangroves by upside-down jellyfish and iguanas. Guests stay dry as they delve into Cayman’s reefs on a bus that goes amphibious with a big splash. Others will embrace the crystal blue waters with a horseback swim or a snorkel above spectacular starfish and coral gardens.

They’ll see turtles from six ounces to six hundred pounds, and Tortugas made of butter and rum, marvel at the world famous Seven Mile Beach and learn about the islands rich history on a visit to George Town and Fort George and hear tales of pirates, deserters and slaves. Island Routes Tours guests will also be transported to Hell and back — postage not included – when they visit this unusual town and the spectacular rock formations that inspired its name.
