In My Next Life I Want To Come Back As A Tarpon!

Tarpon Feeding Frenzie

My friends the tarpons start out at Rackams they wait all day to receive several snacks from island guests. They know if they hang out  long enough they will get fed! They are very smart fish they wait and watch with those big bug eyes. They are often mistaken as sharks their size is quite intimidating.  
At Rackams you can snorkel off their ladder during the day to enjoy the wreck of the Cali, or swim with the tarpons, stay for an incredible sunset, then watch or participate in the feeding of the tarpon, every night at 7:30. Rackam’s is literally built right on the iron shore, jutting into the sea, so you can’t get any closer to being on the water, and can’t beat the views.
It’s the place where you sit at the bar with a dive master on one side and an accountant on the other, all enjoying the same thing... world famous fish and chips, ice cold beers, signature cocktails.
And yes make friends with the silver tarpons.

But don't stop here keep going down Seven Mile Beach and find the next Tarpon Hang and Honey Hole "The Lobster Pot".

Right under this fabulous new deck they wait patiently for 7:30 PM to arrive. They know Jen's the new manager will slowly walk down the stairs to start their own private happy hour! The upper deck filled with spectators watching as the fish pop out of the water and swish their tails in delight! But they don't stop there they move down to their next favorite Honey Hole "The Wharf"


The kids love the tarpon feedings and spend most of their time watching the fish swim up! The restaurant rings the bell during the fish feedings times which is 7:30 and 9:30 for their mid night snack.This has been there favorite for over 25 years! Talk about spoiled! The Wharf entertains you with the nightly Feeding of the resident Tarpons. These 50 lbs plus fish anxiously wait, swimming by your tables from around 6 pm until their feeding at 7:30PM and 9:30PM.  Watch as they put on a show that will captivate the inner child in you.


Tarpon also love the night divers and cave dwellers under the sea. They quickly train the divers to shine their flash lights to find some good eating. In fact if you do not cooperate they give you a little friendly pop on the wrist! It happened to me. The also love to hang at Devil's Grotto at Eden Rock

Their favorite snack the Silversides show up late Summer and they are a site to behold. These are tiny little fish that like to hang in the caves under the sea and can be found under the large rocks.

2022 Top Five Budget-Friendly Restaurants

  As the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman offers countless fabulous food opportunities! However, these delicious opportunities can create a bit of a financial drain on families or small groups of friends. Sure, cooking in the condo will save some money, but most folks on vacation don’t want to cook every night! Throughout the year, people ask me which restaurants give the best deals. Certainly, a little bit of planning before your trip can help keep the costs down. A family of 5 can, indeed, enjoy restaurant meals at Grand Cayman. This article will give you an overview of restaurants that have been recommended by passengers who like great food and appreciate ways to get the most from their vacation budget.  First, choose either condo life with a full kitchen or a hotel room with a kitchenette. Either will give you some space for storing light meals and snacks. Some passengers bring in a few snacks (think “dry goods”) from home but always check for any r...

To celebrate Women’s Dive Day 2019 Divetech will bring together women hand in hand in an attempt to break their own World Record! In July 2018, 86 women at Divetech in Grand Cayman created a human chain along a 300ft line suspended at 15ft, thus ensuring the ladies were neutrally buoyant protecting the coral on the sea floor. Last year the charitable event raised over $3,000 US for the Cayman Islands Breast Cancer Foundation as well as raising awareness for women in diving globally across all disciplines including recreational, technical and Freediving. This year they are aiming for 100 women and for the event to be bigger and better! They are hoping for a number of the Cayman dive shops to join (bringing our dive community together), a raffle with lots of prizes (to help raise more money for the Breast Cancer Foundation), as well as local conservation organisations joining the event to raises awareness of island ocean issues, such as Lionfish as an invasive species. ...
