Crystal Caves, Cave system in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
The Crystal Caves system contains three connected limestone caverns filled with formations of stalactites and stalagmites created through mineral deposits over millions of years.
These underground chambers served as concealment locations for Caribbean pirates during the colonial period, offering protection from authorities and storage for supplies.
Local guides share geological knowledge and traditional stories about the caves, which have been part of Cayman Islands heritage for generations.
Tours through the caves last three and a half hours, including transportation from hotels, and require advance reservations with closed-toe shoes for safety.
The cave system maintains a temperature several degrees lower than the outside tropical climate and houses multiple species of native bats.
