Welcome to an exquisite tropical island paradise. Discovery Cove gives you the unique opportunity to swim and play with a beautiful Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, snorkel amongst tropical fish, glide with rays and relax on white sand beaches. You have the whole day at your leisure to soak up the unique, indulgent atmosphere of Discovery Cove.
Embark on an underwater adventure in Discovery Cove’s Grand Reef where you’ll snorkel among canyons and come face to face with venomous lionfish and sharp-toothed reef sharks (safely behind massive panoramic windows). Discover the Explorer’s Aviary, just beyond the towering waterfalls, where you can hand-feed tropical birds, relax in the refreshing waters of Serenity Bay and float along the Wind-Away River. Freshwater Oasis features swimming and wading adventures and face-to-face encounters with playful otters and curious marmosets.
If you select Discovery Cove Dolphin Swim Ticket, the dolphin swim is the centrepiece of your visit at Discovery Cove Orlando. You’ll spend 30 minutes, in groups of no more than 10, getting to know your dolphin through hugs, kisses and ultimately, a one-on-one swim together through the lagoon. Then, you have the rest of the day at your leisure to soak up the unique, indulgent atmosphere.
As a reservation-only experience, which is limited to a capacity of 1300 guests a day, it’s a rare opportunity to set your own pace. It’s all about a day of wonderful discovery and a lifetime of memories at Discovery Cove Orlando.
There is the choice of two tickets – those wishing to swim with Dolphins must purchase the Dolphin Swim ticket. If you just want to accompany friends and family who are swimming with dolphins, purchase the Non-Dolphin Swim Ticket. This includes all the same elements except the Dolphin Interaction Session.
The Dolphin Swim consists of a 10-15 minute introduction with the trainers followed by a 30-minute group session with the Dolphins.
You do not need to be an experienced swimmer to swim with Dolphins. Life Jackets are provided and you do not need to go out of your depth should you not wish to do so.
In order to ensure everyone’s safety, participants must be able to comprehend safety-instructions in English.
All bookings for Discovery Cove are subject to 100% cancellation fees within 30 days of your booked visit. There can be no refunds for amendments (for example to change from Dolphin Swim to Non-Dolphin Swim) or cancellations within this period.
