What it's like
Barkers National Park is an outdoor natural area on the western side of Grand Cayman. Its trails and coastal ground are explored mainly by guided off-road tours run by a locally owned company, which take riders off the main roads and into the park.
A visit is a guided ride on an ATV or UTV, led by local guides on scenic trails. The route passes mangroves, beaches and wildlife, and the lush vegetation and coastal views make up most of what you see. Tours run in set time slots and are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
