Turtle Farm Prices

[maighdeanmhara]

I'm trying to figure out how much cash to bring along for our trip.

 

We paid for the excursion already (so transport and entrance are covered), but how much should I plan to spend on drinks for 3 people, 2 meals (DS & I share) and a couple souvenirs for our boys?

 

Thank you!

the turtle farm does not post a menu for their café but here's a typical one for a popular place

A hamburger $8

fish and chips $10.50

soft drink $2

Caybrew Draft Pint $5.50

can o' Bud $4

 

NOTE prices will be in Cayman Dollars (CI)

 

The fixed exchange rate you'll get on the street is $1 CI = $1.20 US

or your $1 US is only 80 cents CI

 

or your US $20 is $16 CI

 

so the $8 CI hamburger is $10 US (plus tip ... altho often this is ALSO automatic so check)

 

US $ is accepted 'everywhere' as is US plastic. I never carry anything larger than $20's

{Cayman currency is pretty and small bills make nice souv's}

 

**************nothing in Cayman is inexpensive****************

 

Suggestion - do not buy any turtle products available for sale at the farm. Importing to the US ANYTHING from sea turtles is illegal.

Grand Cayman is a pricey island. Take more cash than you think you will need.
