There are many exhibits that included with your Florida Keys Swim with Dolphins Tours and Ticket. Here is a list of what you can get with your purchased program….
Sea Turtles
The Florida Keys Dolphin Facility is home to four different species of endangered sea turtles: Green (Caretta caretta), Loggerhead (Chelonia mydas), Kemp’s Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), and Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata). Each of the sea turtles on display are considered non-releasable for different reasons, including birth defects, buoyancy disorders, boat strikes, entanglement injuries, and predatory attacks. All sea turtles have an assigned primary caregiver, are hand fed a specific diet, participate in daily training and enrichment sessions, and receive routine veterinary care.
