A series of shallow sandbars in Grand Cayman's North Sound where southern stingrays, first drawn by fishermen cleaning their catch, now glide around wading visitors. Boat tours let guests stand in waist-deep water as the rays brush past looking for squid handouts. It is one of the world's best-known wild animal encounters, and calm-day trips suit all ages.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
