Cayman Island Tastes — Rum, Beer, & Cake

  • Shore Thing Image Coming Soon
Enjoy locally crafted rum, beer, and the island’s famous rum cake.
On a motor coach, you’ll drive to different destinations to taste the Cayman’s top flavors. Its famed rum cake will be available at the Tortuga Rum Cake Center, followed by a tasting of the main ingredient (rum) at the Seven Fathoms distillery. Here you'll witness traditional West Indian techniques still used to make their premium blends, before going to a local cafe bar for a drink of rum punch. There will also be a stop at the Caybrew Brewery, before being driven back to the port.
