This is the website to the turtle farm - http://www.turtle.ky/ I was just on it.

 

You can book directly through them, and they provide transportation to and from the port, included in the price.

 

I saw that if you purchase on their website, you save 20% on your entire purchase of tickets, but I'm not sure I will purchase that way, in case of change in plans, etc.

 

I will be going there the 2nd week of December, it looks like a fun family day.

 

Enjoy your trip.

Yes you can do it yourself.

Yes, you can do it on your own. I believe it is around $18 a person to get in. I remember it was alot it was $47 for us with two adults and one child. Somewhere on this board there was a post about taking bus transportation. We walked 3-4 blocks from the terminal toward the library and hopped on the public yellow or green bus (can't remember which), paid $2 a person, and we were on our way. Great, cheap way to go!

Looks like the farm ran into some environmental / animal protection problems? We found the following article: http://www.cayman27.com.ky/2012/10/19/pressure-mounts-on-turtle-farm

 

Anyone has more information about this? We were looking at visiting the farm but prefer to be sure that this is a "happy" turtle place...
