Book your small-group glass-bottom kayak adventure in Bodden Town, Cayman Islands

Launch in glass-bottom kayaks from the Cayman Islands Yacht Club and glide through a vast network of mangroves and waterways as your guide introduces you to local plants, wildlife, culture, and history amid the crystal-clear water of Grand Cayman. You’ll enjoy a small-group experience-typically 4–6 participants with one guide per six-so you can ask plenty of questions and get a tailored, interactive tour that highlights the best of Bodden Town and the surrounding Cayman Islands. Safety is central: you’ll receive instruction on kayak use and a personal flotation device to assist if you enter the water. Single and double kayak options are available, though numbers are limited, making early booking recommended for your preferred choice when exploring Grand Cayman waters.

Summary: Excellent tour! Ryan was an excellent guide, very personable. Knowledgeable about the ecosystem and local animals. He took the time to show and explain to us what lays beneath the waves in a beautiful setting in the glass bottomed kayak. We felt safe and entertained the entire tour. Small group is a wonderful perk.
