fun time dancing and kissing and being kissed by dolphins. of course they want you to buy the video, which is pricey. we fell to the tourist trap and did and we are glad we bought it. this combined with the stingray city was a great way to celebrate my 61st birthday. More

After a short boat ride to a sand bar you can swim with and interact with the stingrays in their natural environment. The staff is very knowlegeable and engaging. It was amazing and most definitely a highlight of our trip to Grand Cayman. More

I had a WONDERFUL time getting kisses from Nemo, petting him, Belly Rides and watching him interact with the crowd! Dolphins are such smart and amazing creatures. My only complaint is the fact that you're not allowed to bring cameras in the water, even if they are waterproof. I was completely okay with this because after all the business needs... More

You could pay to get in the water with the dolphins and feed them, ride them, and do tricks. Very Expensive Though!! More

We had a good experience with Dolphin Cove. We loved swimming with the dolphins. It was just amazing to do this with these loving and friendly dolphins. They are trained but very well taken care of and happy. It sure shows. The staff were helpful too. Another must do. Dolphin Cove is the place to go!!! More

I have always wanted to swim with dolphins but have heard various experiences. Many people have told me it was way too much money for the amount of time and interaction you get no matter where they were. NOT the case at Dolphin Cove!
