Cayman Turtle Centre

Overall one of my favorite stops in Grand Cayman. Turtles everywhere and at all different stages. Sea turtles are one of my favorite animals and this was a great place to see them.  The feeding wasn’t much to see, just pellets throw in the water, so I could have skipped. I loved snorkeling with them too even though I've done in the wild. A lot of fun! Interesting to see other animals too, like the crocodile and shark. The pool area was pretty interesting, but crowded and not really anywhere to sit. Did appreciate they had drinks and some food, but not really vegetarian friendly (restaurant either). There isn't really anything nearby so you kind of just eat there. The store had a lot of stuff and was nice because it had AC to cool down. I did wish they had better lockers for when snorkeling and bathrooms could use some care. Overall seeing all those turtles was worth it. I’d definitely would recommend.

One of my most favorite excursions ever! Our visit took place in the early morning after a rather celebratory NYE the night before. Seeing those turtles as I ran up to the wall of the breeding pool was like an instant hangover cure! I have always adored sea turtles and this excursion was heaven. I HIGHLY recommend a trip to the Cayman Turtle Centre - I look forward to visiting again.

Such a great experience. Don't miss snorkeling with the turtles. Bring your Swimsuits and towels. They provide regular snorkel and mask and life jacket, but you can pay $4 and use the full face mask if you'd prefer. Was able to wade in with our toddler and still see some fish and multiple turtles without actually snorkeling too. Fun to see them feed turtles and see young ones. Bird aviary super fun. For a few bucks you can feed them. Highly recommend a stop here. Great gift shop too. Went on a non cruise sun in season and it was fairly quiet.

Relatively inexpensive compared to the dolphin discovery option and a quick hitter. We didn’t swim with the turtles given we snorkel a ton all around world. They have an area with large turtles - they are massive. They have an area where you can pet turtles. They have a crocodile (or alligator). They have the area to swim. There is a hatching education center. The day after our visit our private boat captain said this place releases 50,000 turtles a year. If a fraction of that - very impressive. Would recommend.

I was able to visit this center as an excursion stop through my vacation on a cruise... and this was an absolute dream for me as I love sea turtles!! A must stop to check out. You can swim, play & interact with the turtles.. or snorkel with the fish as well. They also have a butterfly and bird aviary. Fair warning.. if you walk into the bird aviary, be prepared for the birds to land on your shoulder... or head! Lol. It was quite an experience! One I will always remember... especially being able to interact with the turtles 🐢 💙

We were thrilled to swim with the sea turtles! We spent about 3 hours at the Turtle Center. We got to watch them feed the sharks and the turtles. You could easily spend 5 or 6 hours here. There is something for everyone. Highly recommend making this a stop on your trip.

The first time we went you were allowed to pick up the baby turtles and it was amazing. That was in 2011. We went back 10 years later and you can still get in the pool with them but are not permitted to pick up above the water line. It's still amazing to have them all around you and the admission is not crazy expensive. Great for the young ones for sure

Best part of my trip to Grand Cayman! I read a lot of mixed reviews about this place, including some folks saying the turtles were mistreated. That was not my experience. They purposely breed and release green sea turtles to replenish the wild population. All of the turtles were in clean tanks and not overcrowded. Swimming with the turtles was the highlight of my trip to the island. I could have stayed in that lagoon all day. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
