I enjoyed every minute of the experience. I did the ultimate swim, so I had alot of interaction with the dolphin. As with all tourist activites I feel that I could have spent more time with the dolphin. Great value, cheaper than anywhere else I priced this same activity, including Discovery Cove Orlando. This package also included a trip to... More

I felt you got a lot more for your money in this attraction than the other dolphin attraction in the Cayman Islands. I did the ultimate swim, my group was small and the instructor was very good. We were in the water about 60mins, super value. Fun for all the family, no matter what age. I would highly recommend, and... More

I haven't been to Dolphin Discovery but I chose Dolphin Cove over it when I had friends visiting that wanted to do a swim mainly because at Dolphin Cove the animals are actually in the ocean. Obviously, they are still in captivity but it seemed a little nicer that they were actually in the bay rather than tanks. It was... More

We went with the ultimate experience and shared time with two other couples. Total time we had directly with the dolphins (2 of them) was about 20-25 minutes and, to us, it was worth every minute. One of the dolphins was a rescue who could not be returned to the wild. All the others (five or six) were born in... More

We went here in April on a cruise line stop and did the Dolphin Encounter rather than the swim b/c my 3 year old wasn't old enough. My children, ages 3,5,6 loved this experience. My husband and I loved the service. We arranged this directly through Dolphin Cove and paid $400 LESS than what the cruise line wanted to charge... More

It is free to go in and watch the people interact with the dolphins, but personally we can not use animals for our own entertainment. Be sure to check out the parrot walking trail across from the dolphin center, this also is free.

We've been living here on Grand Cayman for almost a year and have tried to hit all of touristy attractions and activities- Dolphin Cove was being saved for a special occasion. We visited the park on a Sunday which is a less-busy day for them. There is not much to do on the island on Sunday so if you are... More

This was a great trip. The surpise for my 4 year old daughter was the sea water, It took a little while to get used to it. But once going she loved it. The trainear were really good. The dolphins were great. Four adults and 2 children (4 & 7) really enjoyed this experience.

Was not too impressed i guess i am used to large aquariums in the USA hence it will take a lot to impress me. But had the best garlic conch in the restaurant. One could also swim with the dolphins hence i guess thats a plus.

We were on a cruise and didn't have much time to actually book the excursion but just watching the dolphins swim and interact with the people was great. I wish I would have done it but at the same time I didn't like that you don't spend enough time with the dolphin, I mean yo interact with them but with... More
