Questions about Dolphin Private Platform (Turtle Center Incl)

What exactly does the Private Platform include?+

Your group gets an exclusive private platform with no other guests sharing your session. Every participant receives the full professional photo package (35 photos per person), a $100 boutique credit to spend at the Dolphin Discovery gift shop, and complimentary Cayman Turtle Centre entrance for the whole group. Your group also chooses the swim level, from a gentle Encounter to the full Royal Swim.

How many guests can join, and how is pricing calculated?+

The Private Platform holds up to 10 guests and is priced at $1,990 total, which covers everyone in the group. That works out to $199 per person for a group of 10, roughly the same as a Royal Swim ticket but with full privacy, professional photos, a boutique credit, and Turtle Centre entrance all included.

Can each person in our group choose a different program?+

Your group selects one program level together, from Encounter up to Royal Swim, and everyone participates in the same experience. The benefit is that you have the platform entirely to yourselves, with the full attention of the team and no time pressure from other groups.

What is the children's policy?+

All programs welcome children. Babies aged 0 to 3 join free. Kids aged 4 to 12 pay kids rates: $99 Encounter, $139 Swim Adventure, $159 Royal Swim. The Private Platform group rate of $1,990 covers everyone in your group. The interaction level your child qualifies for depends on height: children under 48 inches (1.21 m) participate in Encounter-level interactions with one adult alongside them; children between 48 and 55 inches (1.21 to 1.39 m) can join swim interactions with an adult present; children taller than 55 inches (1.39 m) participate at the full adult level. Tell us your group composition when you book and we will set everything up.

Can pregnant women participate?+

Women 5 months or more into their pregnancy cannot participate in swim programs. Women in their first 4 months may join the Encounter level only, accompanied by another adult and after signing a Responsibility Form at the facility.

Why book the Private Platform through Best Day Cayman?+

When you book through us, you pay nothing upfront. We send you a confirmation, you show up on the day, and you pay at the facility. No credit card required in advance, no cancellation risk. We also confirm your group details directly with Dolphin Discovery and respond within hours, not days. It is the easiest way to lock in a premium experience for your group.

"We booked this for a family reunion and it was the moment everyone will talk about forever. Twelve of us, our own trainer, our own dolphin, our own time. No rushing, no sharing. Photos of every single interaction included. Worth every dollar."

★★★★★

"Chose this for our tenth anniversary. Just the two of us and a dolphin named Luna. The trainer stepped back and let us have real quiet moments with her. Romantic in a way we genuinely didn't expect. Extraordinary."

★★★★★

"The photos being included in the private session is huge. With other programs you're buying photos on top of the experience fee. Here, everything is captured and delivered. Relaxed pace, completely personalized. One-of-a-kind morning."
