Cayman Turtle Centre

We had a great time here! Came on the Disney Treasure… got off in the port and was met by a cab service immediately. Costs about $8 per person and takes about 20 minutes to get there. It was not crowded, there’s tons of turtles and other creatures to see. The salt water pond for snorkeling was the highlight… my 6 year old absolutely loved it. The regular pool and water slide was a great way to cool off before heading back to the ship. Highly recommend.

This is an awesome way to spend the day in Cayman! It's interactive and fun for adults and children alike. Seeing sea turtles up close is amazing!!!! Touching young ones is even better! And you can feed the big boys! Throw in a water park, an interactive bird sanctuary and an interactive snorkeling experience and I was sold. It's an Awesome place that does great work! As far as tourist dollars go I would support this venue anytime!

If you’re a fan of turtles (and a few birds), this is definitely the place for you! It’s amazing to see everything—from the tiny hatchlings to the massive adult turtles. The experience is both fun and educational. We also stopped by the gift shop, which had some great souvenirs. Didn't get a chance to try out the water park, but it looked like a lot of fun for kids and families. A great visit overall!

Highly recommend! A fantastic wildlife park supporting the safety, care, education, research and perpetual survival of the various turtles throughout the Caribbean. We loved everything about this park, and it was one of our favorite stops on our cruise. The breeding pond featured turtles that were absolutely huge, friendly and fun to watch while they were being fed. Watching them wrestle and splash each other fighting for food was adorable and left us laughing so hard. Job well done Cayman Turtle Centre - we will be back!

If this is one of your stops/ports when you are going a cruise. I recommend doing this tour. We did not book it with the cruise line but took a bus (paid about $2 per person) and it dropped us off right at the entrance of this place. The facility only charges about $30 per person and we were able to touch and get in some of the pools with the smaller turtles and touch them. Even kids were able to do that. We loved it!

It was great to see the turtles and understand the background and history. Swimming with them is unique and not commonly possible so try it out! They do support turtles and have set free 35k turtles since 1980, which is great! Some of them seem to end up as soup though since not all of them can be saved. This is a downside but a smaller one.

It isn't cheap at almost $50 per person. They have a few holding tanks for turtles as they age. The tank you swim in with the turtles is disgusting and full of swamp water with algae floating on top. Your face and hair gets caught in the algae! It was cool to swim with the turtles, but don't expect adult turtles. What you swim with are a few juvenile turtles. Very cool. There are places you can book a reasonable excursion into the ocean bay to locate and swim with full sized sea turtles. If I did this again, I would spend a little more and go see them in the wild and be free of whatever is growing in the turtle tank! But, security will remind you to wash your hands if you want to touch the turtles in the holding tank. I'm sure I'm missing something!?

This is a must experience adventure. Seeing the turtles from just barely hatched to gargantuan was incredible. We enjoyed swimming with the fish and turtles very much. Expect to swim with algae with the snorkels. You can see into the predator tank while snorkeling, which is really cool. It has the best gift shop on the 🏝️ island, too. We came away with a greater appreciation of marine life and all they are doing to conserve this amazing animal. The aviary is great, too , and fun to see the variety of birds. Don't leave Cayman without visiting. We spent 5ish hours here.
