CruisinDawn Posted June 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I have been asking the same question since Spring when it was suppose to open. Still wondering here also. http://www.boatswainsbeach.ky/ this site never changes. Rumor is summer, hope it's done by Sept.

Laurab23 Posted July 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Sounds like it's open now. A little pricey,I think at $60 per adult.I'll be looking forward to reviews. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinDawn Posted July 26, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hum, wonder how this will affect the Captain Marvin's tour that includes the turtle farm. I agree it is pricey. Know Cannakkaab (sp? hehe) was trashed during the hurricane but for not much more you could get full use of the park and swim with the sea lions for about $60.

zydecocruiser Posted July 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Normal entry fee is supposed to be CI$28, but is cheaper than that now, since much work is still needed. http://www.caymannetnews.com/cgi-script/csArticles/articles/000040/004062.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkletoes4445 Posted July 26, 2006 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2006 How does caymen money compare to us? 2 websites have said it is $60 u.s. to spend the day there. When we were there this past January, the exchange rate was 80 cents US to each Cayman dollar. Many times they gave us change in Cayman money, but we usually asked if we could have US dollars or change and if they had it, they gave it to us. For the most part we used credit cards. If you eat anywhere, make sure and check your ticket so you don't double tip. Almost every restaurant or bar will tack on a 15% tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted August 4, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Currency rates fluctuate, but you might want to check and figure out whether it is better to pay in one currency or the other - especially for large purchases. Rairly will a local biz give you the exact exchange rate. For example, today $1 US was worth about $0.85 Cayman dollars or $1 Cayman dollar about $1.17 US.

zydecocruiser Posted August 4, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I did receive some info from Boatswain's Beach and it seems the final admission price will be US$25/children and US$60/adults, but is currently US$20/$35 until September or so when they get the rest of the park open.
