......from lying, or standing, or sitting, on the beach. We decided to take the Mastic Trail with Stuart from the National Trust. There are several ways of enjoying this natural attraction, but for me our guide changed it from a hard slog through 'the bush' to a delightful ramble through differing natural environments holding fascinating birds, reptiles, insects and plants....

We are staying for 2 weeks on Grand Cayman and had a windy spell last week. We normally like to visit wildlife areas anyway so decided to check out the mastic trail. We have a 3 and 5 (almost 4 and 6) year old boys. We accessed the mastic trail on two occasions, from either end. The first time was... More

I think a walk on the Mastic Trail would probably be an outstanding experience with a guide. We have been visiting Grand Cayman for 20 years, but had never ventured out to the Mastic Trail. On a whim, my husband and I decided to check it out this year. Our main goal was to bag the peak -- which we... More

This was the BEST walk with a naturalist I have ever been on. Stuart from the National Trust has a lifetime of knowledge and experience to share - WOW! With his extensive background in marine biology, geology, and biology, there were few questions he couldn't answer. This was a gourmet feast for the senses: we saw, we heard, we smelled,... More

We walked the Mastic Trail guided by Stuart Mailer and had a truly incredible experience. This was largely down to the encyclopaedic knowledge and warm personality of our guide. There wasn't anything this man didn't know and his knowledge and enthusiasm made it impossible not to find this a compelling experience. I've been to Grand Cayman a couple of times... More

I really enjoyed the trail. It's very narrow and quiet. My kids were freaked out because it was quiet and they thought it was too secluded but I felt like it was a adventure. We never completed the trail because our kids complained it scared them but honestly it's safe there. If you're a hiker, go for it. More

Went with "Joe Tourist". Without him this would have been a nice casual hike on just any old trail. With him we learned a ton about the trees, animals, and history of the island that we never would have learned on our own. It's not a long or strenuous trail and nice thing to do when not enjoying the water! More

Nice to get off the beach and into the in country. The trail itself isn't much, and you certainly have to be comfortable with rocks and some mud to navigate. Not a lot of wildlife (except one snake) and met a goat herder on the way back to the trail which was an experience in itself. More
