Discovery Cove is an all-inclusive day resort where you can get up-close with animals that you’d rarely have the opportunity to see in the wild!
The number of visitors each day is strictly limited to 1300 people, ensuring no crowds, no turnstiles and no chaos.
Enjoy a relaxing day in nature! Drift along a scenic river, hand-feed exotic birds in their free-flight aviary and snorkel among tropical fish and rays. Spend some chill-out time on the sunny, sandy beaches and swim with bottlenose dolphins.
Make sure you arrive early! You’ve only got one day there so you want to make the most of it!
If you’ve booked a dolphin swim, the times are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. So once you’ve got your time, you can decide how to plan your day around it
You can enjoy these wonderful attractions and experiences during your day at Discovery Cove
Try to visit the aviary early in the day; the birds are hungriest at this time so you’ll have the most fun feeding them!
You may want to wear shoes in the Aviary, as the birds have been known to nibble at feet!
Try to be in the Stingray Shallows at feeding time and you’ll have the chance to feed the graceful rays as they glide around you in waist-deep water
The water in the Grand Reef will feel quite cold, as it is kept at a suitable temperature for the creatures who live there
The highlight of your visit to Discovery Cove!
This is your opportunity to swim and play with a friendly, gentle dolphin on this amazing 30-minute interaction!
Get a short briefing from the dolphin trainer before you get in the water. Then it’s time to meet your dolphin for some group interaction where you can swim, play and even have a smooch with him or her. Hold onto the dolphin’s dorsal fin as they take you for a ride through the water – an experience you’ll never forget!
Cameras are not permitted in the lagoon, but a Discovery Cove official photographer will capture some amazing snaps of your experience! You’re guaranteed to get your own photo opportunity with the dolphin.
If you want to include a dolphin swim in your day, make sure you select the “With Dolphin Swim” ticket when making your booking. If you don’t, select “Without Dolphin Swim” tickets.
Dolphin swim times are assigned on the day on a first-come first-served basis, so make sure you arrive early!
Make sure you leave plenty of time to get to the dolphin lagoon for your interaction – you don’t want to miss a minute!
