What you'll see
The adventure begins with a quick jaunt out to our apiary, nestled on the edge of Grand Cayman’s mangrove wetlands. After a brief apiary orientation, you will then don a full beekeeper suit and standard issued apiary gear. The journey continues with a tour of the apiary and surrounding tropical woodland. 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. You will get the opportunity to look for the elusive queen bee, spot emerging baby bees, and observe the mysterious inner workings of a living beehive. Before closing the hives you’ll get your own taste of local Cayman honey to take with you!

FAQ's
Where does the apiary tour start?
How long is the apiary tour?
Tours are approximately 1.5 hours long.
What is the minimum age for the apiary tour?
Participants must be at least 10 years of age. Persons 10-17 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
What is the maximum number of persons allowed on the apiary tour?
We limit the tour size to 4 persons in order to provide an intimate and enriched experience. Private tours of larger groups may be arranged.
How should I dress for the apiary tour?
Comfortable light clothing & sneakers.
Will I get stung?
It’s highly unlikely. While our bee suits provide outstanding protection, we cannot guarantee that they are sting proof. Our bee suits offer triple layer ventilated protection, which prevents bees from reaching you with their stinger. You win and the bees are saved! – Honey bees die after they sting.
Meeting point
We will meet at the gates to the Reagan’s Honey Apiary, which is in the Spotts Newlands area just off the East-West Arterial Highway, on the north end of Chime Street. If you’re coming from Seven Mile Beach, it’s about a 15 minute drive. From the Eastern end of the island it may be 25 minutes.
