Get up close and personal with two of Grand Cayman's most famous stars-dolphins and green sea turtles. Your first stop is the marine sanctuary at Dolphin Discovery. After a brief orientation, you'll enter the water to pet, play and pose for a dolphin kiss photo (available for purchase). Next, you'll walk to the Cayman Turtle Centre, a world-class research and educational facility that focuses on the conservation of sea turtles, as well as the home to a number of fish, sharks and a crocodile. Here, you'll view turtles in every stage of development in tanks plus a large nesting area on the beach. Learn how the turtle plays a large part in Cayman's history and culture while visiting the Touch Tank Wading Pools. For a reminder of your visit, the gift shop feature lots of souvenirs. Your tour concludes with a relaxing drive back to downtown Georgetown.
