Interesting trail. Started at North end at 8am. No bugs at all which was nice. Def need sturdy shoes or hiking boots. While the trail is flat, it is very technical. The first 1/2 mile is fairly easy with some roots/rocks. Then there is a solid mile of walking on coral. Good shoes and good balance required. The last mile is a combo of rocks, roots, some mud (if you look closely there are little trails that go around the wetter areas), and boardwalks which end at a wide grassy area for the last 1/4 mile or so to the South entrance. Saw birds, little lizards, hermit crab, various kinds of birds. Hard to look up or around too much for fear of tripping so worth taking your time and stopping every now and then to look around. If you don't like grass/plants brushing along your legs, wear lightweight pants. Trail is narrow and a bit overgrown in places. Overall a very nice trail and good way to get into nature for a couple of hours.

The trail was beautiful. Make sure you wear good shoes and bug spray. Lots of rocks and tree roots on the trail. Maybe we hit the wrong time of the year, we didn’t see much for wildlife.

My husband had never done the Mastic Trail before and I have done it many times. Since the weather is cooler, I thought now was the perfect time to go. If you happen to have two vehicles you only need to walk one way, which is what we did and we walked from the North end towards South end, which meant that we started at the harder end and ended at the easiest end. It can be quite a bit of a trek and, as it mentioned at the beginning of the trail, not suitable for children under 8 years old (dependent upon the child of course). We saw a green iguana, plenty of pea doves, some smaller birds, and one bird I have never seen before and which neither of us knew what it was. We took our time and strolled and climbed and chatted and it took us about an hour and 45 minutes. Yes we got hot yes we got sweaty, but it was fabulous. What better place to look at how Cayman really was before all of the development. Lovely!

I’ve been coming to Grand Cayman for years and had this hike on my list must do’s. It took 2 hours of comfortable walking. Saw interesting birds and a couple snakes. Wear good shoes and if you have a walking stick that helps. Really enjoyed the experience.
