It's late and I might not get my answer tonight, and we hit Grand Cayman tomorrow, but can anyone exam the difference between the turtle farm exploration tour ($18) and the turtle adventure tour ($45), both at the same place.

 

I'm sure it includes extras, just trying to figure out what they are and if they will benefit my 2 1/2 year old.

 

Thanks for any help.

From their website:

Turtle Farm Exploration Tour (Turtle Farm Only)

This tour gives visitors access to:

 

  • The Green’s Breeding Pond - The Breeding Pond is home to our green sea turtles who have matured and are at the age to start reproducing; which is usually at about 16 years of age. Green Sea turtles are the largest of the sea turtles and here you will find a few weighing in at more than 500 pounds!
  • Turtle Touch Tanks - Here you will find yearling turtles swimming and playing. Reach in to touch or pick one up for a photo of a lifetime!
  • Smiley’s Saltwater Lagoon - Smiley is a 9 foot saltwater crocodile trained to jump and put on a show!
  • Turtle Wading Touch Pool - Here you will find yearling turtles swimming and playing. You can get in the Touch Tank Wading Pools for an even closer encounter with our yearlings!
  • The Education Centre & Hatchery - Visit the education centre and learn more about the turtles. You can also view our turtle hatchery where during breeding season (May – October) you can witness new hatchlings making their way up through the sand of their incubation boxes!
  • Schooner’s Bar and Grill - Schooner's is an outside bar and grill where diners can relax on a covered deck overlooking Turtle Lagoon. The menu boasts a range of Caribbean and international items to tease and please every palete. Enjoy a tropical drink or ask for the island’s very own beer - Caybrew.
  • Splash Gift Shop - The gift shop has something for everyone, so don't forget to get a souvenir before you leave.
