including swimming and playing with dolphins.
Location

Experiences
For most guests, the highlight of a visit to Discovery Cove will be the
rare opportunity to swim and play with a beautiful bottlenose dolphin. the
dolphin-swim experience begins with a brief orientation, after which 6-8
guests and a trainer wade into shallow water for their introduction to a
dolphin. Guests learn about dolphins' behavior, get to know the animals and
discover how Discovery Cove's trainers use hand signals and positive
reinforcement to communicate with them. Taking the relationship one step
further, guests swim and play with the dolphins. Other Discovery Cove
attractions allow guests to safely experience the marine world and its
amazing
 animals.
In the Coral Reef, snorkelers swim among thousands of exotic fish and
explore an underwater shipwreck and hidden grottos. In the huge, free-flight
Aviary, guests feed, touch and mingle with over one hundred colorful
tropical birds. A Tropical River meanders through most of Discovery Cove,
allowing guests to swim or float through a variety of environments,
including waterfalls, sandy beaches and rocky lagoons. Beaches provide a
seamless pathway to all Discovery Cove attractions and surround a large pool
for swimming or relaxing.
