Travelers are often attracted to the Cayman Islands by the gorgeous beaches and ideal temperatures. And while most people will be eager to get out on the sand, some may feel that their vacation isn't complete until they have an opportunity to see the island from the seat of a bicycle or moped.
Regardless of whether you favor a relaxing ride through the tropical landscape or an exhilarating trip soaking up the local scenery, rental options on every island are available to accommodate you.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman are all relatively flat, which make biking through the area easy. Either of the smaller islands are great for exploring on two wheels, although traffic can get heavy in George Town, particularly during rush hours, and visitors are discouraged from relying on a bicycle or moped for primary transportation in the more urban areas.
Rates will vary by rental agency and island, but should start around $10(USD) per day for bicycles, and $40(USD) per day for mopeds. Oftentimes companies will be willing to offer a discounted rate for travelers who are interested in keeping the equipment for several days or a week.

Visitors should not forget to check with their hotel or resort, as these places are often yet another option. Frequently they have bikes available for guests, however, it is rare that motor scooters and mopeds are offered. A concierge should also be able to arrange for guided tours if travelers prefer to explore in groups or with an "old pro."
Bikes and mopeds are both excellent ways to see the island's more remote areas, offering vacationers a great chance to enjoy the fresh air and famous scenery. Reasonable rates make two-wheeling adventures available to almost everyone, and excursions through the Cayman countryside are made more pleasant by the independence allowed by bicycles and mopeds.
