Discovery Cove

For the majority of Discovery Cove guests, this one-on-one dolphin swim experience is the highlight of their entire visit. Small groups are accompanied by an expert trainer and taught all about dolphin behaviour and the way they communicate during these 30-minute interactions. Get acquainted with the bottlenose dolphins before emerging into the deeper water for an experience like no other. Then, take hold of the dolphin's dorsal fin and hold on tight as you enjoy an unforgettable tow ride back to shore.

Set under a verdant rainforest canopy, step into the sparkling springs of the Freshwater Oasis for even more animal encounters. Wade, swim or float around the water-filled trails finding fascinating discoveries along the way. See curious marmosets jumping overhead from tree to tree and watch loveable otters playing on the rocky outcrops. Underwater viewing windows mean you can even dip your head below the surface and watch the otters swim around. Embark on an adventure exploring every cove and lagoon or just relax in the atmosphere of this tropical retreat, the choice is yours.

Upgrade your Discovery Cove visit to include the amazing SeaVenture® underwater tour. Put on a dive helmet and climb down to the heart of The Grand Reef where you'll be able to walk around and explore this fascinating marine world. With each step yielding a new discovery, wade amongst tropical fish, stroke velvety rays and even come face-to-face with sharks through an 8-foot tall panoramic window. Then become surrounded by schools of colourful fish as you end your adventure with a fish feeding experience.
