Every tour offers opportunities for up close wildlife encounters, including native birds, water fowl, iguanas and agouti that inhabit the tropical woodland forests of Grand Cayman. Your professional guide will then lead you through a real inspection of an active beehive.

Don’t BEE sleeping on this one… - We had a wonderful time with Jamal and meeting his bees. He provided an amazing excursion walking us through the beekeeping process and we were able to collect and take home some honey. Thank you for an awesome and unique experience!

A Super Interesting and Fun Excursion - The tour guide Jamal makes it an interesting and fun experience. Our family of 4 included a 10 year old and a 6 year old. They were captivated the entire time, and my wife and I both found it super interesting. The bee keeper suits worked great, nobody got stung and it was comfortable the entire tour. Pay attention to the directions/location because you may have to tell your taxi how to get there 😊.

Do this!!! - Jamaal was really into his bees! It was a really cool experience for us, being used to running away from them! The suits and gloves worked well, and we got a small jar of honey collected right off the comb!! Small groups or a couple should do this, as he is running the whole show himself Also make sure your taxi calls him, a little hard to find, but absolutely great time! Thanks Jamaal!! Jim and Stacy

Unique island tour - Unique experience for sure. Got to see a local honey maker doing his work and got up close and personal with the bees. Would recommend for a quick morning excursion that's not based on water conditions.

Excellent - This was an awesome experience. Jamal is very knowledgeable about the life of bees and beekeeping. We got to use a smoker and a scraper tool. We also got to collect our own small jar of fresh honey. Be prepared to walk through wet fields. You will also wear a bee suit for protection. Fantastic adventure!

Fun and unique - This was a very interesting and unique experience! Jamaal was very nice and very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The suits made us feel very safe. I was nervous beforehand but I was fine. He had cold water for us as well. The location is off a main highway and you immediately see a gate. This is where the guide met us. Do not proceed further towards the red gate. It looks isolated and there isn’t a sign so it can beunsettling. But it is correct. I recommend this tour.

Amazing and awesome learning and participatory bee tour ranks 10/10 - Tucked away in a special area, lays a quaint and exciting tour that left us excited about what we had just a oriented and grateful for the knowledge that was shared with us. Although the idea of visiting with the bees can be discouraging to some, I urge you as someone that no one would have thought I would have done this, to PLEASE do it. Learning about how many factors are involved in beekeeping mixed in with being safely involved, made this tour really an awesome adventure. Many thanks.

Choose something else - What experience? While I was driving I received a call literally 15 minutes before the tour was to start informing me they “ had a problem” and the tour was being cancelled. I asked if I could reschedule for another day and they said they would call if they had an opening. I never received a call. Don’t plan on this tour especially if you are trying to organize your vacation. Book something else!
