Great Britain took formal control of the Cayman Islands, along with Jamaica, under the Treaty of Madrid in 1670. Following several unsuccessful attempts, permanent settlement of the islands began in the 1730s. The Cayman Islands historically have been popular as a tax-exempt destination. Legend has it that Caymanians in 1788 rescued the crews of a Jamaican merchant ship convoy which had struck a reef at Gun Bay and that the Caymanians were rewarded with King George III's promise to never again impose any tax.

The Caymans Islands' splashier side is the real draw. Offering a host of experiences, from petting "tame" Atlantic Southern stingrays to exploring jaw-dropping drop-offs and dive sites, the Caymans are a watery wonderland. Reefs, shipwrecks and Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Wall, considered the Caribbean's most sensational wall dive, create unforgettable dips. Whether driving, zipping by on a scooter, strolling downtown George Town or kicking flippers in warm water, Cayman Islands vacations go at an easy pace
