East End Activities And Tour In Grand Cayman

We had a wonderful time with CAYTOURS for this tour. We started with Tortuga Rum Cake sampling which was very good. Of course we bought some. They really had the best deals on the rum cakes. Then on to Pedro St.James Historic National Park. Our tour guide at the park was wonderful and informative. Then on to Queen Elizabeth ll Botanical Gardens to see the Blue Iguanas and beautiful gardens. Our driver/guide was so friendly, personable and informative. Our last stop was to the Blow Holes. The east side of the island has a different vibe and if you surf that is the place to go. Don’t miss this tour. It was amazing and very enjoyable.

Victor was excellent and very knowledgeable about all things Caymani. It was just the 2 of us on the tour so we were able to go at our own pace. We started at Pedro St. James castle with a tour of the castle and lovely grounds then stopped at the rum cake factory for some tastes and then went to the botanical gardens and visited the rare blue iguanas at the sanctuary. We cut short our garden hike due to vicious mosquitos and hot temperatures but it was a beautiful place.

Overall, it was ok. Mostly sightseeing activities, but my daughter preferred water activities rather than sightseeing.

This is a really great trip that hits a majority of the East End activities (but by no means all of them). The highlight is the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Gardens. It is well kept and the iguanas are amazing to see. You DEFINITELY want to go earlier rather than later because it does heat up as the day wears on. But overall, this was a lot of fun.

Very good experience with Cay Tour. They had some sort of bus issue so they sent an office employee to drive us on this tour in a company car Thus we had basically a private tour. We felt that the best part of tour was at the Castle St James House. The inhouse tour guide at the Castle was excellent. The botanic Garden was just OK. The blow holes were good to experience. The Toutuga Rum stop was good and of course , we bought 2 of the rum flavored cakes to take home.

Chris was great! He was very polite and car was spotless. Seems that Tortuga doesn’t cater to visitors on the weekend :-( They didn’t seem to want our business. Company reps at didn’t even bother to play the shop video. The botanical gardens were beautiful. The St Pedro tour was informative.

My family and I really enjoyed this tour and the hotel pickup and dropoff on Seven Mile Beach was very convenient. Our favorite part of the excursion was the Botanic Garden and we were able to explore most of the garden and see the blue iguanas during our 45 minute stop. The guided tour of the Pedro St James Natural Historic Site was very informative and this was the longest stop of the tour. We made a quick stop at the blowholes which were a cool photo op.

The driver can make a huge difference in how much you get from your experience. On that note, our driver, Chris was so well informed about the island and his personality is fun. He made our entire excursion day very enjoyable.

We met Victor at the White Canopy Tent with the sign Caytours. He was very friendly and we felt an immediate connection. We left the port area and went immediately to the Governors House for a photo op. It was then on to the Seven Mile Beach and on to the Cayman Turtle Center. We then visited Hell with its unique rock formations. Its a great place to send a postcard back home or to yourself. It was time for lunch and we went to Peppers, an excellent Jamaican restaurant for a bite. My wife is Jamaican and this was truly authentic. Very filling and very affordable. We left that area and headed to South Sound. There were beautiful coastal homes and we visited the historic Pedro St James. Its an 18th century landmark and they have an excellent tour and theater show included in your package. We needed to get back at around 2PM so we had to cut the tour a little short, however, Victor and his driver were very informative, friendly and took care of our needs every stop of the way. Highly recommended

The botanical gardens were absolutely beautiful, and we loved the iguana sanctuary in them. We felt like we didn't have enough time there (tour started late as we were waiting for others who never showed up). The monument site was cool to see, but it started with a 25 minute too long video and we felt like we spent too much time there. The blow hole stop was beautiful and perfect. We never made it to the rum cake stop.

The tour was supposed to include 4 stops, however the driver only brought us to 2 stops. He did not bring us the natural blow holes and the rum cake factory, which were the 2 things that we were most looking forward to. After the 2nd stop, he just dropped us off at the hotel. I reached out to ask for a partial refund and got no response.

Victor was a great guide for the day! We had a wonderful time with him on the tour. He provide a good overview of the island and its history. We would recommend Caytours as a go to service.

The day did not start so well. We were not informed of the time for pickup. We were placed on the list for another tour. The bus driver who picked us up was so nice that he tried everything he could to get us to our destination. He made several calls to the office to see why this error occurred. The driver had to pick up all the people on his tour before he could drop us off for our tour. When we finally got to our destination and began our tour, the rest of the day was great!

This was a very good tour! Our contact Nancy met us promptly at the pier, and our driver Israel chatted with us throughout the tour, with lots of cool information about the island. Tortuga rum cake bakery is a must see! Call Nancy if you want an excursion, and rest assured it will be well-coordinated and fun!

The tours themselves were excellent by Wilson at the Pedro St James and by Patrick at the Botanical Gardens, but the logistics were HORRIBLE. The tour is suppose to be 3 1/2 hours, it ended up 5 1/2 hours. Pick up was at hotel at 8:50 am which was perfect, bus driver got a call - oops one more pickup that we missed - 40 minutes later. Stop at cruise pickup - oops we almost left a group - 30 minutes later. First stop Pedro St James (awesome). Done with tour 11:00. Oops - nobody to pick us up until 12:10. Then driver had to stop at boss's house - what the? Second stop - Gardens (awesome). On the way home, one block from hotel - stopped and got gas - what the? Home at 2:30 pm, suppose to be 12:30pm. No apologies, no compensation. Cay tours has some issues.

We really enjoyed the botanical gardens and the blow holes! Our driver Albert was excellent, very good driving and a great attitude.

Great views; IF the water is rough then you can see the East End blow holes up through the coral rocks. Drove around the East End of the island; it is peaceful and a good change from Georgetown (capital). Drive slowly and see the homes, restaurants, hotels etc. Saw the Wreck of the Ten sails memorial; took pictures at the plaque.

Very nice tour overall. I think we had a replacement guide, but he was pretty good! We had four people plus the tour guide on the tour, so everyone could ask questions. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island and gave us plenty of time to see Pedro St James and the Botanical Gardens (orchids were out of season but still saw loads of blue iguanas, some parrots and lovely flowers). We toured all along the East End of the island and saw the blowholes also. The tour guide made sure to get one couple back to their cruise on time, then took us to the Tortuga Rum factory. Nice day overall. Wear comfy shoes as you will be walking quite a bit in the Gardens.

We had a great east end tour in a very comfortable bus. Tour guide was super friendly and shared very interesting local knowledge with us the whole time. We covered a good portion of the island on this tour.
