Bradt Travel Guides

Renowned for some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world, each of the three Cayman Islands also retains its own distinct personality. This new Bradt guide will help the visitor to choose the perfect destination island, whether they are looking for top-class restaurants, a taste of Cayman Island culture and natural history or simply to get away from it all. Details of the broad range of activities from golf and fishing to cycling, horseriding and climbing are included; and, for the less energetic, here are the best palm-fringed beaches, a background on the island's swashbuckling history and where to find those relaxing Caribbean bars.
Rugged, volcanic and very remote, the three tiny islands of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha dot the South Atlantic like so many bits of flotsam. As Napoleon's place of exile following the Battle of Waterloo, St Helena has gained a notoriety that assures its place in the travel lexicon. This fully revised edition includes information on St Helena's new airport, which makes it possible for the first time for visitors to explore the island's natural and historic attractions without a five-day sea voyage to get here. Hiking, fishing, snorkelling and diving are included, plus details of marine wildlife, from whale sharks and dolphins to groupers and soldier fish. Expert author Tricia Hayne also provides a section on '24 hours in Cape Town', offering a brief overview of what to see and do with a day between voyages.
