Southern Bluff Cliffs
Dramatic limestone edges of Cayman Brac where the rugged terrain meets the Caribbean Sea.
Owen Island
A stunning, tiny uninhabited islet sitting within the turquoise waters of Little Cayman's lagoon.
South Hole Sound
A shallow, crystal-clear lagoon protected by a barrier reef, showcasing incredible gradients of blue.
South Coast Reefs
Intricate coral formations visible through the shallow water due to the low flight altitude.
For the most vibrant water colors, fly between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is directly overhead. This side is superior for photography of Owen Island, which is a signature landmark of Little Cayman. Keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff, as the flight duration is only about 10 minutes.
