Grand Journey

Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale is to Miami, what poetry is to prose. Despite the two cities being only 30 miles apart, there is a world of difference between them. With its stunning beaches, thriving arts, and culture scene, and picturesque waterways, Fort Lauderdale offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. Visitors can soak up the sun on the pristine white sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, explore the arty, independent boutiques and restaurants along Las Olas Boulevard, or take a scenic boat tour through the city`s intricate network of canals. The city also boasts a diverse range of attractions, including world-class museums, lush parks, and bustling nightlife.

Nestled along the Caribbean`s azure embrace, George Town beckons with its tropical charm. Crystal clear waters hide vibrant coral reefs, promising psychadelic underwater life for snorklers. Long ribbons of white sandy beaches are flanked by palm trees and promise hours of endless, enviable relaxation. Gran Cayman is Caribbean is truly a Caribbean ideal, pastel buildings dot the waterfront, hosting a fusion of Caribbean delights and international flavors, so find a cafe or bar, order a local rum punch and imbibe in a bit of Cayman culture. But it is not all fun in the sun, George Town is the hub of the island`s thriving financial district, which give this island an edge over its neighbours. George Town weaves a tapestry of sun-soaked days, reggae-infused memories, and the timeless allure of island life.

Depart the pier, traveling by air-conditioned minibus to the Helipad, for a briefing before your flight. Fly out over the North Sound to the Sand Bar/ Stingray City, where you will circle above people playing in the waters with wild Stingrays.&nbsp; Follow the North Reef and view the shallow translucent waters dramatically change to pitch black as they drop off thousands of feet outside the reef. Cross the Island and over USS Kittiwake, a US Navy ship sunk as an artificial reef and dive site, then a low-level flight down the world-famous white sands of 7 Mile Beach.&nbsp; Soar over your cruise ship nestled against the picturesque background of George Town, floating in the crystal clear azure blue Caribbean Sea. Circle back to the Helipad, not forgetting to take pictures of the pilot and the helicopter before boarding the minibus back to the cruise ship terminal.

Take a helicopter ride to see the best of the Cayman from the air, North Sound, Sand Bar, Stingray City, North Reef, USS Kittiwake, 7 Mile Beach, and George Town before circling back to the Helipad.

Where we rely on your consent for processing your personal data, you may withdraw your consent at any time, by contacting us at 

. Please note, however, that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent you gave prior to withdrawal.

You may object to such direct marketing by clicking the unsubscribe link in each such direct marketing message or contacting us at 

While we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal information, this does not necessarily mean in every instance that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it. There may be instances where we process your personal data for our legitimate interests (furthering our business relationship with you) or on the basis of other lawful grounds (i.e., because we have established a relationship with you and need to process your personal data in order to provide you with the information and/or services you have requested), without having obtained your consent. We do not seek your consent in such cases largely so that we can provide you with services in an efficient way (or where in some cases it might not be possible for us to seek your consent because we must process personal data, for example, for the detection of fraud).
