Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Nyd en afslappet tur gennem farverige haver, botaniske, sø og natur viser. Spadsere gennem Heritage Garden, nyd tehuset med panoramaudsigt og søområdet, der danner et naturligt sted for Cayman Blue Iguana og yngleplads for en række sjældne vandfugle og dyr, der er hjemmehørende i Caribien. Da hendes kongelige majestætedrønning Elizabeth II åbnede Grand Cayman's Botanic Park i 1994, var kun Woodland Trail færdig. I de efterfølgende år er grunden vokset og udviklet til den fuldt udbyggede verdensklasse facilitet, der opererer i dag. Den QUEEN ELIZABETH II BOTANIC PARK er en unik blanding af naturskønhed, kultur og historie. Nyd den simple elegance af en traditionel Caymanian have med den fantastiske skønhed af et eksotisk blomstermodus. Tilbring en time eller to ... eller en hel dag! Én ting er sikkert, hver af vores besøgende vil forlade med større forståelse for den delikate balance i naturen og den dedikerede pleje i dens bevarelse.
Oplev den unike arv og kultur i Cayman via dette kærligt restaurerede vindue i det 18. århundrede, som kun ligger 20 minutters kørsel fra George Town. På et tidspunkt på Caymanøerne, da de fleste mennesker boede i små, stråtækkede huse, skabte en velhavende englænder, der brugte slavearbejde fra Jamaica, en forbløffende 3-etagers bygning kaldet Pedro St. James. I 1990'erne købte Caymanøernes regering Pedro Pedro og omsorgsfuldt restaurerede Det Store Hus til prakten af dets 18. århundrede arv. I dag kan gæsterne gå gennem det imponerende bygning med sine periodemøbler og autentiske artefakter til at opleve, hvordan livet var så længe siden i Cayman's historie.

Afhentningssteder og tider
George Town har tre skibsterminaler: 1. Hoteller i nærheden af Royal Watler Terminal 2. Nordterminal 3. Sydterminal Bemærk venligst, at cruiseskibe, der forankrer i Grand Cayman, kræver, at gæsterne tager en lille båd, kendt som en tender, for at nå kysten. Det er vigtigt at stå i kø tidligt for udbud, da det kan tage op til 60 minutter at komme ud og nå kysten. Hvis dit skib tenderer til Royal Watler Terminal: Din tur afgår inde i Royal Watler Cruise Terminal. Når du lander, skal du gå ud gennem sikkerheden og fortsætte med at gå lige foran langs kysten. Gå til det sidste telt med en hvid hylde og se efter Caytours skiltet. Den lokale repræsentant vil vente der for at tjekke dig ind. Hvis dit skib tenderer til North Terminal eller South Terminal: Din tur afgår inde i Royal Watler Cruise Terminal, som er ca. 3 til 5 minutters gang fra tender pier. Når du lander, bedes du bede havnesikkerheden om vejledning til Royal Watler Terminal. Når du er der, udgang gennem sikkerhed og fortsætte med at gå lige foran langs vandet. Gå til det sidste telt med en hvid hylde og se efter Caytours skiltet. Den lokale repræsentant vil vente der. I tilfælde af dårligt vejr, og dit skib tenderer til Spotts Dock: Din tur vil afgå direkte fra Spotts Dock. Når du lander, skal du forblive på Spotts Dock og kigge efter den lokale repræsentant, der holder et CAYTOURS skilt for nem identifikation. For at sikre en glat afgang, skal du planlægge at ankomme til den udpegede mødested mindst 15 minutter før den planlagte tur afgang tid. Skal du bo på et hotel eller Airbnb? Vi afhenter fra alle hoteller og overnatningssteder på Seven Mile Beach. Sørg for at informere os om din placering på forhånd, så vi kan foretage ordentlige arrangementer og sikre en rettidig afhentning.

The tour group was very accommodating when the ship's tender arrived at a different port... they met us there. We had to wait an hour for other people, who never showed up. We didn't have enough time at the botanical gardens. The Pedro St James tour was fabulous and our guide was excellent.

We’re happy to hear that our team was able to accommodate the tender change and meet you at the alternate port, and we’re especially glad that you enjoyed the Pedro St. James tour and your guide’s excellent service.

We will review this internally to ensure better management of similar circumstances in the future. Thank you again for choosing to tour with us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time.
We enjoyed the tour immensely. Our guide, Victor shared so much about Cayman. We all appreciated learning about the island, its history. The historian at St. James Castle is a treasure! He has so much to share - I would love to have him to dinner and keep talking! Queen Elizabeth Garden is gorgeous. The traditional house and the Colorful Trail were a highlight. We saw iguanas, parrots, a snake, and many other local birds while walking around. It is very hot - so be prepared. If I were able to do this again, I would pack a light lunch and have it in the gazebo. Overall - the tour was great. We did not feel rushed and were able to enjoy it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Victor helped make your visit memorable with his knowledge and insights about Cayman.

The Botanic Park has beautiful gardens. We also got to see many rare and endangered blue iguanas. Pedro St James was an interesting historic sight. We learned about some of the history and culture of Grand Cayman on this excursion.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are glad you had a good time on your tour. Hopefully we will meet you again soon.
I was worried I wouldn't be able to walk around much because of a recent knee replacement but they totally took care of me. Hall drove us around in a golf cart so I could see everything & made stops along the way so I could get out & see the beautiful flowers up close. We loved our tour.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are glad you had a good time on your tour. Hopefully we will meet you again soon.
An interesting way to learn more about Grand Cayman. Very much enjoyed the botanical gardens. I wished we'd had more time there. It was a long ride from our hotel and so we had only an hour to tour the gardens before having to leave for the tour of Pedro St. James Castle. We learned a lot about the history of the island watching the intro film there. Tour of the house/castle brief and oddly focused on the furniture.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are glad you had a good time on your tour. Hopefully we will meet you again soon.
This was a very lovely tour. We were most fortunate to have Trisha as our tour guide. She was truly a Pedro St. James Castle historian. so animated and excited to give us so much information about the tour we almost lost track of time. I truly recommend this tour and ask for Trisha. She was amazing.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are glad you had a good time on your tour. Hopefully we will meet you again soon.
The Botanical Park is wonderful. Many flowers. Laid out nicely. Not hard to walk through. The gift shop is very nice also. Pedro St. James was a nice historical stop to give you an idea of the history of Grand Cayman. Highly recommend.
