Dolphin Royal Swim and Turtle Farm

This up-close-and-personal Dolphin Royal Swim takes you onto a platform in waist-deep water to meet these incredible creatures...and for them to meet you!

The program begins with an approximately 30-minute orientation, including a briefing about these amazing dolphins, and an explanation of the activities you will experience with them.

After stepping onto a submerged platform, you will be able to interact with the dolphins in waist-deep water including the very popular Dolphin Kiss Photo.

Next, you will enter the water (life jackets required) for a speedy pull through the water as you hold onto their dorsal fins. Next is the highlight of your time with the dolphins, the dolphin Foot Push. Feel all their strength as they push you up and through the water by the bottoms of your feet.

Each session is one hour, with 30 minutes of swim time. Group size is limited to 10 people to ensure that you have a very personal experience.

Professional photographers will capture these magical moments for you on video and photo during your Grand Cayman excursion.

After your dolphin encounter, continue the fun with your included admission to the Turtle Farm, one of Grand Cayman's greatest tourist attractions known around the world for its conservation programs, public awareness, and entertainment. After completing the dolphin portion of your tour, you will receive a required bracelet that grants entry to the Turtle Farm. The farm includes over 500 turtles, separated in tanks that show the progressive stages as they age. You will learn about turtle gender, reproduction, and the programs to keep them from becoming extinct. There is also a touch tank and many opportunities for photos of the turtles. The farm is located adjacent to the Dolphin Encounter.

In order to allow you to tour at your own speed, fees for the taxi to and from the Dolphin Park are not included in the tour price. This gives you the ability to return at your leisure. Just make sure to return before your ship's last tender time from shore.

There is no cost for observers for the dolphin portion only and no need to reserve; you simply pay for transportation to and from the Dolphin Park. Observers must pay to visit the turtle farm or Boatswains Park. The facility has lockers, changing rooms, freshwater showers and a snack bar.

Please Note: The Dolphin portion of the tour must be completed first, as guests will receive a required bracelet during that portion. This bracelet is needed for entry to the Turtle Farm, which follows afterward.
