Grand Cayman Est: Aventure Exclusive & Trésors Cachés

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.

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.

The blowholes on the East end were fascinating. It does not take much of your time, it is free, and very entertaining. We enjoyed watching the waves come in and then explode like a geyser.
