Turtle farm accessibility

[LadyVolFan]

I want to go to the turtle farm but am in a wheelchair. I'm thinking of booking through Carnival. Does anyone know if I would have to board a bus or if it's an open air vehicle (better for me). Thanks.:D

Generally in Cayman transport for tours are in large passenger vans or small buses which are not outfitted for handicapped accessibility. I would suggest checking with Carnival for them to confirm, but I would be surprised it they offer accessible transportation. :(

 

As I recall, the Turtle Farm itself is mostly accessible for the basic (front part of the park) tour. The pathways are suitable for wheelchairs. You might need help from someone to lift a baby turtle from the touch tank. A fuller tour including the back part of the park includes a snorkeling lagoon, but I do not recall a Hoyer lift or similar to assist wheelchair users in and out of the water.

 

There are a couple private tour providers on island that do offer accesible transport. I think the information from my post from this thread is still current.
