Discovery Cove is
ranked #3 in the United State’s top attractions and no wonder– it gives
you the chance to swim with dolphins, glide with sting
rays, and view tropical birds, among many other unique
attractions. The prices can seem a bit steep, but they
include a full day at the park, all you can eat or
drink– including alcoholic beverages– use of a mask and
vest or wetsuit, and a snorkel to keep. Discovery Cove
requires a reservation, and only 1,000 guests are
allowed in the park at any given time. If the price
still seems a bit high, reservations without the dolphin
pool have a lower rate.

Dolphin Swim
Home to 30 striking bottlenose dolphins, Dolphin
Swim is a uniquely memorable experience. A brief
orientation in their private cabanas offers a
video presentation on a range of dolphin
characteristics, as well as how to use hand
signals and positive reinforcement to interact
with the dolphins. Then you and a group of up to
eight guests will meet the beautiful inhabitants
and experience an exclusive 30 minutes getting
to know your dolphin, including one-on-one swim
through the scenic waters of the lagoon. |

Coral Reef
Take a dip in a rare coral reef for a swim
you’re not likely to forget. Practice your
snorkeling through a vast and colorful reef, the
remains of a shipwreck, and captivating grottos.
Encounter countless species of exotic fish,
giant rays, and- if your attention wanders- you
might even catch a peek of a shark or a
barracuda, gliding safely behind protective
glass. |

Tropical River
A warm, freshwater river that drifts past
waterfalls, a rainforest, and more. It glides
guests into the aviary, where birds are left to
fly freely, kept in by the waterfalls. |
 |
Ray
Lagoon
Snorkel with rays up to 4 feet wide. Southern
and cow-nose rays, soft and smooth to the touch,
are large, peaceful creatures that will add to
your experience at Discovery Cove. |
 |
Aviary
Discovery Cove’s Aviary has over thirty species
of birds. These 250-plus birds, kept in the
aviary by beautiful waterfalls, will come to you
and feed from your open hands, filling the air
with color and sound. |

Resort
Pool
The large pool has both a shallow and a deep
end, as well as grottos and waterfalls. It runs
a constant, year-round eighty degrees. |
