3. Cayman Turtle Centre: Island Wildlife Encounter
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 4,358 reviews
Cayman's most-visited and perennially popular land-based attraction, Cayman Turtle Centre: Island Wildlife Encounter hosts more than 300,000 visitors each year. Conservation of sea turtles and other island wildlife with associated research and education are at the heart of the company's mission. The Centre is also a vital component of the country's economy, providing a world-class tourist attraction that is truly one-of-a-kind: the only institution in the world that successfully breeds green sea turtles, releases captive-bred sea turtles into the wild, and allows visitors to get "up close and personal" with sea turtles in various exhibits and supervised encounters. Local and Caribbean birds, marine predators, crocodile and other island wildlife are also featured in this Grand Cayman island favorite "must-see".

We really enjoyed the time we spent at this interactive Turtle Centre. It is not a cheap day especially for a family so hopefully you can find a coupon. Get the full service choice so you can swim with the turtles. Arrive early so you can get to the Turtle Lagoon and find much more space to swim with the turtles and fish. It gets pretty busy the later you arrive. They provide the snorkel equipment and a flotation vest. That was so much fun and you can get super close to the turtles and the reef fish. Lots of other fun and informative activities such as feeding the nurse sharks, crocodile feeding once a week and feeding of large and small turtles. Very interactive and good for adults and children. Highly recommend this.

just us and the a couple of chickens. By far the quietest and most secluded loveliest beach of the trip. Great shade possible at nearly every private/separate turn-in. Good beach for sitting and floating, not good for snorkeling or playing because of all the small coral that should not be trampled on and rather shallow waters. Calm clear waters. No jellyfish. We did snorkel and saw two huge fish and a dozen or so small fish and varied mini-coral. In almost a full day we say 2 horse tours, one Jeep tour and 2 other couples walk by. Great breezes. No services of facilities. Down a l-o-n-g dirt road from the nearest house. Maybe saw 6 boats go past toward stingray point which is off to the right. Schrewd move is to sit near the kite-surfer port-a-potty and somehow figure out the high security lock combo for a clean bathroom. No showers.
