Capt_BJ Posted February 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2017 https://www.turtle.ky/ just know that there is an undercurrent ...... turtle is raised for food in Cayman ..... most of the islands consider turtle a good food product. US does not ...... The farm does release some ... not all ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted March 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2017 At what age does the Centre harvest the turtles for meat? Between 4 and 6 years old (50-80 pounds; 20-40 kilos) {new post since the maintenance seems to have screwed this site even MORE!!!!!!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel-Diva Posted March 3, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted March 3, 2017 we were debating doing the stingrays but didn't know if she was too young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted March 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Lots of kids on the Stingray city excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted March 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If she's adventurous and likes the water & sea life.....do the Stingrays! If you think it's going to freak her out, then skip it. Most kids love it, but there are some that will be uncomfortable. The Jolly Rodger Pirate Ship excursion is also an excellent choice for kids!!

Out of Iowa Posted March 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We've done stringray city and snorkeling with Moby Dick Tours several times now; they are very safety-conscious, educational and fun!! It will be a great time for your family - and if, by chance, the snorkeling at the reef is too overwhelming/scary for her, it's ok to stay on the boat and watch....still a wonderful outing. I think of the rays a bit like the Florida manatees; one day, it is likely they will not be there in the wild. This is an opportunity she could always remember!

redxpanda Posted March 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We're taking our 6 year old on a Stingray City excursion with 2 other stops included in a couple of weeks. I wanted to take her when she was 2, but we did the Turtle Farm instead (full access, booked through the farm). I'd recommend either of those excursions for kids. Our daughter has had a lot of experiences with water excursions, loves swimming, and is quite comfortable jumping out into the water. We do have our own life vest we bring, especially for ocean excursions. It's softer and in better shape than what they gives you most times on excursions. :) We used to bring a "puddle jumper", but she recently outgrew that, so we invested in the same kind they use at the pool on DCL and Royal.

Rare mitsugirly Posted March 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2017 We have a "water baby" that has been cruising and snorkeling since she was 3 years old. She has been to the stingray sandbar twice and absolutely loves it! The first time she went, she was 3 years old! HERE you will find pictures of our day there. The next time we went, she was 5 years old and was still equally amazed! Look in my signature line for a full review (labeled stingrays/Rum Point) and there's TONS of pictures there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwkreis Posted April 13, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2017 we were debating doing the stingrays but didn't know if she was too young We did Days Reef and Rim point with our 2 when they were 5 and 7. 9 years later it is still one of their favorite tours Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted April 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 14, 2017 There's Sting Ray City, Turtle Farm, Submarine. Grand Cayman has lots of options to choose from. Show her the options and ask which she prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 14, 2017 If none of the above will interest her....head to the beach! Kids love beaches! Totally doable on your own, no excursion needed! The bus is $2.50 pp...and stops all along 7 Mile beach...same with the return trip. No charges unless you want loungers/umbrella....food/drink and restrooms are all along the beach. Even some watersport rentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
