When you arrive, you will stroll from the parking lot through a jungle of native Cayman trees, plants, and flowers flourishing in the tropical environment. Look carefully, you never know what you might see! Wild iguanas, chickens, frogs, snakes and hermit crabs are just some of the jungle trails inhabitants. You will come face to face with some of the most beautiful birds in the world. Mingle with, talk and hold one or two of our beautiful parrots and cockatoos.

Your stroll takes you wandering through the gift shop with unique Grand Cayman souvenirs. When you poke out the other side, our family of 6 beautiful bottlenose dolphins appear before your eyes in their natural saltwater lagoon. You will be filled with emotion as you view these amazing marine mammals at play in their natural habitat.

Our three dolphin programs offered at Dolphin Cove, Grand Cayman, cater to all ages and requirements. Read on further to find a program that suits your needs.

During each program, you will have a personal photographer, taking photos and videos of your entire experience, available for purchase after your program. This allows you to leave your cameras tucked safely in your bag, and you get to make the most of every minute with your dolphin.

Before your program, you will have an informative orientation with one of our trainers, where they will give you some information, designed to help you once in the water as well as talking about the beautiful dolphins we have in the lagoon. They will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
