Dolphin Dreams come true at Discovery Cove

The full-day experience allows guests to swim with dolphins, snorkel with colorful fish and rays, hand-feed exotic birds, and relax on pristine, white-sand beaches. In addition to the park’s one-of-a-kind animal interactions and lush natural beauty, Discovery Cove delivers superlative, personalized service, and unlimited access to an unparalleled array of first-class amenities.

The Explorer’s Aviary leads guests through a lush jungle settling where they can hand-feed more than 250 exotic birds. The Wind-Away River and sandy beaches with comfortable chaise lounges add to the paradise, but the centerpiece of the park, and the highlight of the guest experience, is the dolphin interaction.
Dolphin dreams come true in Discovery Cove’s clear lagoons. Each participant enjoys up-close interaction, becoming acquainted with their dolphin through hugs, kisses and feeding. At the end, each guest is treated to an exhilarating tow back to shore while holding on to the dolphin’s dorsal fin.
“Every guest at Discovery Cove has their own idea of what it’s like to actually swim with a dolphin,” said Stewart Clark, vice president of Discovery Cove. “When they find themselves face-to-face with one of the beautiful Atlantic bottlenose dolphins at the park, few events can rival the thrilling mix of emotions and excitement. Their time spent interacting with these amazing creatures is a singular experience that each guest treasures for a lifetime.”
