## Official travel advisory

**Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions.** The U.S. State Department places Cayman Islands at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions. Our live index reads 95.5/100. That advisory was last revised May 21, 2026, 103 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Firearms and ammunition may not be brought into, out of, or through the Cayman Islands, and travelers have faced arrest, criminal charges, and fines over a single bullet, a spent casing, or ammunition incorporated into jewelry and keychains found in luggage or pockets at the airport. Violations of local law, including unintentional ones, can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation. Emergency medical care is not readily reachable at Stingray City, West Bay, other snorkeling sites, and boat parties, where drowning risk rises. Little Cayman lacks a hospital; its clinic operates weekdays during business hours only.
