Operator
Reagan’s Honey Ltd.
Meeting point
We will meet at the gates to the Reagan’s Honey Apiary, which is in the Spotts Newlands area just off the East-West Arterial Highway, on the north end of Chime Street. If you’re coming from Seven Mile Beach, it’s about a 15 minute drive. From the Eastern end of the island it may be 25 minutes.
Description
This is not a typical sightseeing tour—it’s a hands-on beekeeping experience at a private working apiary.
Guests have the rare opportunity to suit up, open a live hive, and interact directly with thousands of honey bees under the guidance of a local beekeeper.
With small group sizes and a fully interactive format, each session offers a more personal and immersive experience than traditional tours. You’ll not only learn how honey is made—you’ll take part in the process and harvest a sample directly from the hive.
Hosted by a local Cayman beekeeping operation, this experience offers a unique connection to the island’s natural environment that most visitors never see.

Amazing excursion
The best excursion I've ever been on. Something very unique and different than other excursions I've done. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the bee's and being able to take a sample of honey home was the absolute best. Highly recommend.

Highlight of our trip!
Learned so much about beekeeping! It was a fascinating experience. A tiny bit tough to connect with the proprietor on the day of as he meets you with his truck by a gated roadway. There is no building. This is a hobby business which makes it all the more appealing. Do not miss!

Honey do list
Jamal was super, explained alot about bees that you wonder about but never realized. We were able to partake in honey collection and use of the smokers and why the bees were were swarming. My fiance and I really enjoyed this and would encourage this as a must do.

Beekeeping experience
The Beekeeper Experience at Reegan’s Honey in Grand Cayman was absolutely amazing! It was educational, engaging, and truly unforgettable. Learning firsthand about the bees, the honey-making process, and the importance of beekeeping was fascinating, and everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand and fun. The passion and knowledge shared by Jamal made the experience even more special. Tasting the fresh honey straight from the source was the perfect highlight. This is a must-do experience in Grand Cayman—perfect for families, couples, and anyone who loves nature and authentic local experiences! 🐝🍯
