Swimming
with dolphins is the centerpiece of a daylong adventure
at Discovery Cove, located adjacent to SeaWorld
in Orlando, Florida. Interacting with a bottlenose
dolphin is just one of the several experiences in
this exotic tropical oasis that will stay with you
for a lifetime.
At Discovery Cove you will
snorkel through colorful reefs swarming with thousands
of tropical fish, explore underwater shipwrecks
and mysterious grottos, and relaxingly swim down
a tropical river with rocky waterfalls and a freshwater
lagoon.
Snorkelers will experience gliding among stingrays, surprisingly
gentle creatures that don't ever sting but do grow up to
4 feet in diameter, and stare down dangerous sharks and
barracuda as you safely swim within inches of all.
Swimming
under a picturesque waterfall, you'll enter a free-flight
aviary towering over both water and land. Here you can play
with more than 200 tropical birds.
Grand Reef:
Surprises abound. Families can seek discoveries along the water’s edge or cross a bridge to see sharks swimming below. Play hide-and-seek with thousands of beautiful fish, from small colorful wrasses to large spotted eagle rays. Further out in the reef, stunning habitats create the feeling of swimming right alongside sharp-toothed reef sharks safely behind glass. You can even take paths and bridges to the reef’s islands and hidden grottos as they delve into the reef from above, around and below.
Freshwater Oasis:
An all-new attraction featuring wading adventures and face-to-face encounters with playful otters and curious marmosets. Designed with a rainforest canopy above and sparkling-clear springs below, Freshwater Oasis is a natural fit within Discovery Cove’s tropical vibe. You can relax and explore. You’ll wade, wonder, and float in the water-filled trails. No matter where you turn, you’ll find endless discoveries.
