Mastic Trail (Grand Cayman)

If you're a nature lover, you should definitely add the Mastic Trail to your list of Cayman Island must-dos. The trail is a 200-year-old gravelly path that winds through a native mangrove swamp and a two million-year-old woodland area, surrounded by some of the island's most colorful and rare plant life. The trail is preserved as a flat, beginning hike by the Cayman Islands National Trust, which also sponsors guided tours.

You'll need at least two or three hours to enjoy the Mastic Trail, either on a guided tour (held Wednesdays and Saturdays) or on your own (Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at a discounted rate). Contact the Cayman Islands National Trust to arrange your visit.
