Swim with turtles in the Cayman Islands

While the surf, sand and sun are more than enough to inspire most of you to book villas in the Caribbean, the region has a lot to offer travelers looking to stay active while vacationing in the tropical paradise.

While the surf, sand and sun are more than enough to inspire most of you to book villas in the Caribbean, the region has a lot to offer travelers looking to stay active while vacationing in the tropical paradise. Nature lovers, for instance, will not want to miss an opportunity to dive into the crystal clear waters that surround the archipelago to swim with one of the most wondrous and beautiful creatures on the planet - the sea turtle.

The Cayman Turtle Farm on Boatswain Beach is a 23-acre adventure marine park that allows vacationers to get up close and personal with these endangered sea creatures. Located in the West Bay, the facility dates back to 1968 and has been breeding and raising these magical reptiles ever since.

As the only facility of its kind in the world, the Cayman Turtle Farm offers travelers a unique opportunity to learn about sea turtles, their environment and the oceans in general.

After a day in the water, return to considerably dryer surroundings at your luxury rentals, where a number of comfortable amenities await, including onsite spa facilities, available chef services and stellar locations near some of the best activities in the Caribbean.
