This is a long time dream of mine and it finally came true. I could've spent all day in the water with Nemo! It was truly a wonderful day!!

We booked this tour directly with the company since our cruise operator (Disney) used the other dolphin operator for their excursion. Dolphin Cove provided great email support and a clear set of instructions on where their staff would meet us as we left the pier. Everything was as advertised and we had no logistical issues. My family of four did... More

We were impressed with the facilities at Dolphin Cove. We decided on this location after reading the reviews for both places. The dolphins were so awesome and well behaved. Very glad we went!

This was my first time swimming with the dolphins and it did not disappoint! My only frustration was that we didn't have MORE time touching them and interacting with them...but no time would ever have been enough. We booked this event through our hotel and discovered they were offering a 2 for one special...couldn't beat it.

There's some kind of heavy marketing war going on between Dolphin Cove (who markets themselves as the 'Good' dolphin park) and Dolphin Discovery, near the Turtle farm. Personally, I don't know what makes this one the 'good' one, because obviously we didn't go to both, but Dolphin Cove won me over with their marketing efforts I guess... since this is... More

Our trainer was very good and great with the dolphins. This was our first swim with the dolphins so didn't know what to expect. We got the best package and I'm glad we did. Our family of four were the only ones in this group so it was nice and private and very personalized. One negative thing was I sliced... More

We took our 11 year old nephew to Dolphin Cove and he loved it. It was by far the highlight of his vacation. The park is set in a natural cove so you truely are swimming with them in their real habitat rather that other parks where they have a purpose built tank and this really adds to the experience....

I work in the travel industry, so I'm usually a little more particular when it comes to activities while I travel. Dolphin Cove exceeded ALL expectations. Definitely recommended for all ages.

If possible, swim with both the dolphins and take the trip to stingray city. The employees and trainers have the most friendly attitudes and are very entertaining. Overall great service and in my opinion a must do if visiting Grand Cayman.
