See, hear and touch a world of amazing things as your senses literally discover a new world of experiences. From swimming with dolphins, snorkelling through colourful clouds of tropical fish and wading with friendly stingrays.

The dolphin swim is the centrepiece of your visit; here you'll spend 30 minutes, in groups of no more than 6-8, 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. Come face-to-face with sharks (safely housed behind glass partitions!) in the Tropical Reef. Wade with friendly stingrays and then discover the Explorer's Aviary, just beyond the towering waterfalls, where you can hand-feed tropical birds. Relax in the refreshing waters of the Resort Pool and float along the Wind-away River.

As a reservation only experience, which is limited to a capacity of about 1000 guests a day, it's a rare opportunity to set your own pace. Offered on an all-inclusive basis with breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks included nothing is going to tax you…

Life is good! It's all about a day of wonderful discovery and a lifetime of memories.

The dolphin swim session comprises a thirty minute introduction with the trainers and a thirty minute session in the water (in groups of no more than 6-8 and 2 trainers) with the dolphins. This will be followed by a 30 minute debrief for any questions.

What time should I arrive at Discovery Cove?
Discovery Cove opens at 9.00am and closes at 5.30pm. You can check-in from 8.00am and it is recommended you arrive early so you can enjoy a full day at Discovery Cove. Dolphin swim times are allocated on arrival.

  • Children between 6-12 years old participating in the dolphin swim experience must be accompanied by an adult who also is participating in the dolphin swim experience. There is no minimum adult to child ration, so one adult can accompany more than one child.

Discovery Cove would be my favourite park in Orlando and I would go again and again. One of the highlights for me was snorkelling in the tropical reef. You can swim with Sting rays and exotic fish in a salt water rockery pool, it is an amazing experience and probably one of the best parts of my holiday. The Dolphin swim should not be missed. It is such a special experience to be able to kiss, hug and swim with a dolphin.  The tropical bird aviary was great fun, they offer you free food to feed the birds and they will fly up and land on you to eat it. As there is a maximum of only 1000 people in the park per day you don’t feel crowded or rushed to do things, you can just relax and enjoy the day.
