Description
Description
The Mastic Reserve on the Grand Cayman protects many of the island’s unique birds, animals, plants, in a unique habitat of semi-evergreen forests and wetlands. This half-day hike takes you to discover the fascinating untouched nature of this place in the western Caribbean.
The reserve is traversed by the historic Mastic Trail, an ancient wilderness path that takes you through a great diversity of habitats. Along the trail we can find some of the rarest trees in the island, like ironwood, mahogany, wild orchids, medicinal plants and West Indian cedar, among many other species.
The Mastic Reserve is one of the last remaining subtropical, semi deciduous dry forests in the Caribbean, an habitat that has been the target of intense deforestation in the region. This natural protected area is also home to a wide and unique variety of animals.
The National Trust aims to safeguard the survival of the diversity of native wildlife on the islands, by protecting intact natural areas. Today, 843 acres form the Mastic Reserve, under the management and protection of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands.
Just send us a request if you want to hike along this unique reserve in the Grand Cayman island. Book your trip and join us for a great half-day hike!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
