Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park
The Caymans are better known for their sea life than habitation
on the ground, but for keen botanists or those who would simply
like a pleasant walk, the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is hard
to beat. A well-marked mile-long (2km) trail winds through lush,
easy terrain, featuring almost 300 native species including roses,
hibiscus, lilies and orchids - which bloom in late May and June.
The park and lake is home to the endangered (and elusive) Blue
Iguana, as well as a fascinating array of birdlife including
parrots, herons, coots and the rare West Indian Whistling Duck. The
nearby Mastic Trail meanders through the old-growth forest that
once supplied early settlers with timber. The 26-hectare (65 acre)
park is in the district of North Side, and is a 45-minute drive
from George Town.
