Stewart, the field officer from the Cayman National Trust, was our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to learn from. There weren't many flowers along the trail, but we did see quite a few birds and lizards, even a few frogs. Don't wear new sneakers, as the red soil will dirty them quickly. The walk is not... more

Went on the Mastic trail guided hike today. It's mostly through shaded woodlands over a flat but moderately rough trail. Wear good shoes. Had a great time bird watching, learning about the flora and fauna. Highly recommended for the value. more

My wife and I were in Grand Cayman for a quick two day get away last August and on the last night got engaged. We decided to return for a 8 day honeymoon on June 8th and we had plans for all the things we did not get to do, Hell, Sting Ray City, Dolphin Cove and Horseback riding on... more

The entire walk took about 3 hours... more

We were very impressed with our experiences on the Mastic Trail. The hike helped us appreciate the unique aspects of the islands. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and geology of the area. We were amazed at how many birds and other animals we saw up close and personal. Our trail leader was quick to... more

The Mastic Trail was an incredible hiking experience! We went without a guide and got a little freaked out when we encountered a total of six snakes on this short two mile trail, but it was worth it. I would just recommend going with a guide for anyone out there not comfortable with snakes. To see photographs from the trail... more
