In-Depth Information
Jeeping
Open-air Jeeps are so ubiquitous they could be considered symbols of the
adventurous Cayman lifestyle. They're available from most of the car
rental agencies (see list on page 46).
On Horseback
Horseback riding provides an excellent opportunity to tour some
of the island's quieter sections as well as its beaches. You'll find
three operators on Grand Cayman.
Most horseback riding on the island is along the powdery beaches, an ex-
cellent place for practiced riders to romp and beginners to enjoy a slow
walk on cushioned sand.
Honey Suckle Trail Rides
(
345-947-7976 or 916-3363) offers rides for
both experienced and new riders with special attention to children. Both
Western and English tack is available, as well as a variety of horses from
thoroughbred to quarter horse. Guided trail rides and sunset rides are
popular. Rides start at US $65.

Penny Rivers of Honey Suckle Trail Rides spoke with us about her
trail rides.
What types of rides do you offer?
Our rides are approximately an hour and 15 minutes on the
beach, through the water, along a short trail and back down the
beach. If we do a walk-ride, the cost is US $70 per person; a trot/
canter/gallop and walk is US $80 per person. We also offer a two-
hour guaranteed private ride, all captured on video, for US $100
per person.
What should visitors wear?
Jeans and sneakers are fine; people even wear shorts.
What level of riders do you accommodate?
We can accommodate experienced riders, novices and children.
What types of horses do you have?
We have quarter horses, paints, Appaloosas (including a former
barrel racer) and a thoroughbred. When visitors book the ride we
need to know their skill level so we put them on a horse to suit.
