Itinerario
Goditi una piacevole passeggiata attraverso giardini colorati, esposizioni botaniche, sul lago e sulla natura. Passeggia attraverso Heritage Garden, goditi la Tea House con le sue viste panoramiche e la zona del lago che forma un habitat naturale per l'Iguana blu di Cayman e terreno fertile per una varietà di uccelli acquatici rari e animali nativi dei Caraibi. Quando la Regina Elisabetta II Elisabetta II inaugurò Grand Cayman's Botanic Park nel 1994, fu completata solo la Woodland Trail. Negli anni successivi, i terreni sono cresciuti e si sono sviluppati fino a diventare la struttura di livello mondiale che opera attualmente. LA REGINA ELIZABETH II IL PARCO BOTANICO È UN UNICO AMATO DI BELLEZZA NATURALE, CULTURA E STORIA. Goditi la semplice eleganza di un tradizionale giardino caymaniano con la sorprendente bellezza di un'esposizione floreale esotica. Trascorri un'ora o due ... o un giorno intero! Una cosa è certa, ognuno dei nostri visitatori partirà con un maggiore apprezzamento per il delicato equilibrio della natura e la cura dedicata nella sua conservazione.
Scopri il patrimonio e la cultura unici di Cayman attraverso questa finestra restaurata con cura nel XVIII secolo, che dista solo 20 minuti in auto da George Town. In un momento nelle Isole Cayman, quando la maggior parte della gente viveva in piccole case ricoperte di paglia, un ricco inglese, usando la schiavitù proveniente dalla Giamaica, creò uno stupefacente edificio di 3 piani chiamato Pedro St. James. Negli anni '90, il governo delle Isole Cayman acquistò Pedro St. James e faticosamente restaurò la Grande Casa allo splendore del suo patrimonio settecentesco. Oggi, i visitatori possono passeggiare attraverso l'imponente edificio con i suoi mobili d'epoca e manufatti autentici per sperimentare come era la vita tanto tempo fa nella storia di Cayman.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
