I live on Cayman part-time and decided to do the hike with my partner. We booked the hike with Stuart Mailer (National Cayman Trust). The hike itself is rugged so be sure to wear hiking boots or thick sneakers. Bug spray is a must! Bring water, snack bar, and use a restroom before getting to the hike! Expect 3 hours... More

This 2 mile rugged hike cuts from the north end to the south end of the island. There are over 700 dense acres of woodlands, swamps, savannah, and rock formations. The trail is narrow and you are hiking over rocks and tree roots so be sure to pay attention to where you are walking. My husband and 15 year old... More

We are keen walkers and have enjoyed walking in a variety of terrains. The Mastic Trail is fascinating when undertaken with a guide. Stuart (our guide) was very informative and highlighted the amazing variety of birds, flora and fauna. We spotted a snake, numerous parrots,tree frogs, numerous lizards and learned much about the many plants and trees, some of which... More

while it was interesting to walk on the trail through the marshy woodlands, we found it to be hot and repetitive after a while and quit to return to the car. The Botanical gardens are much more interesting. More

My wife and I had occasion to hike the Mastic Trail again in early March of 2012. The weather had been dry, so we were able to walk the full length, and back again. However, we learned a couple of valuable lessons that we wanted to pass along to you. It was a warm day, so we dressed lightly and... More

Hot....take water and bug spray. We went when the weather was ify so it kept people away which we like! It is a great way to see a bit of the island that isn't a beach. It is well maintained and worth the drive out. It would have been nicer if it was a loop but it is no big... More

We really enjoyed our hike on the Mastic trail. Stuart was very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions about the history, plants and animals of the island. He adjusted the pace of the hike for our age groups. We got to see beautiful parrots, banana quints (sp?), lots of birds you'd never see here in the States, all kinds of... More

Thank you Gilbert (Joe Tourist). What a great chance to see the beauty of Cayman, and experience the Mastic Trail, blow holes, authentic cuisine and tons of laughs! If you are looking for a formal tour. . .this is not for you! Gilbert appears rough around the edges, but his knowledge of the island, plant life, out of the way... More

This was a great trip for adults. We had a trip through the Mastic Trail. Joe pointed out so many natural plants and wildlife. After the Mastic Trail we are dinner locally which was delicious. Then off to the highest point on the idland and we waited for sunset. I have been coming to Cayman since 2003 and this was... More
