Question

Wondering what shore excursions to take in Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios with a 2 year old?

Answer 1

Do you have your heart set on excursions? With a 2yr old it might be great for them to just play in the sandy beaches!

Answer 2

In Grand Cayman you have to go to Stingray City and swim with the Stingrays.  Even if they are too big and scare the 2 year old, you are there for over an hour so you and your spouse can alternate staying on the boat with the baby.  It's a fabulous excursion and so much fun.  One of those truly unique things.

But I wouldnt plan on many shore excursions wiht a 2 yr old.  Many shore excursions last hours and you know the baby will get cranky and need a nap long before it's over.  Best not to ruin the excursion for yourself and everyone else.  If you must do one, pick the shortest one.

Definitely consider just taking a brief tour around the area and playing on the beach like the previous poster said.  It's too young to get anything out of it.  You should be able to enjoy yourself too.

Answer 3

Just go to 7 Mile Beach on Grand Cayman.  It is a great beach and the little kid will have fun playing in the sand.

Sting Ray City is also great but a 2 year old child would not be allowed to even be on the excursion.

At Ocho Rios, once again, just go to the beach.  

Bring a suntan lotion with a high SPF of at least 45.

Answer 4

I would go to Sting Ray City in Grand Cayman but I would highly disregard taking the little kid with you into Jamacia, as it is a horrible place. If you go to Ocho Rios and do the Dunn River Falls excursion which you probably won't unless you leave your kid behind, in order to get out you have to go through a flea market, and one year, I saw this couple wiht a kid about 8 or so and this man from a shop came up and started pulling the kid towards his shop and trying to get the kid inside the shop so the parents would buy something and this couple behind the parents grabbed the kid and were playing a game of tug a war. It all worked out great in the end as the kid was safe and no harm was done except being shook up but I would highly regard from having any parent to experience that.
