Dolphin swim

Discovery Cove’s celebrated Dolphin Swim is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and your family to make a connection with these truly remarkable creatures.  This is your chance to talk, touch, play and swim with exquisite bottlenose dolphins. Discovery Cove is home to 35 of these amazing marine mammals. The Dolphin Swim begins with an interactive orientation followed by a trip to Dolphin Lagoon where you’ll meet and play with a dolphin for 30 minutes, getting to know each other through hugs, kisses, rubdowns and, ultimately, a one-on-one swim together through the lagoon.
Coral Reef

This is your chance to become part of an entirely new universe where giant rays and thousands of tropical fish swim along with you. Immerse yourself in Discovery Cove's unique coral reef for a swim you won't soon forget. Here, you can snorkel through the expansive colorful reefs, complete with the remains of a shipwreck and some enchanting grottos. Spend as much time as you desire coming face-to-face with countless species of exotic fish, staring into the enormous eyes of giant rays and even catching a glimpse of shark and barracuda as they swim safely behind protective glass.
Tropical River

Relax the day away in this invitingly warm, freshwater tropical river as you wind your way through a variety of extraordinary Discovery Cove landscapes. Stop off to dig your toes into the soft sand of a sunny island beach. Absorb the sights and sounds as you float past the dense rainforest. Enjoy the echoes of laughter you and your family create as you enter an underwater cave. Soak in water cascades as you go through rocky waterfalls. Visit the interactive aviary for a wildly amazing tour. Or, just chill out in the freshwater lagoon.
Ray Lagoon

Submerge yourself in Discovery Cove's secluded, majestic Ray Lagoon for some personal interaction with some surprisingly gentle creatures. Prepare yourself for an astonishing opportunity to snorkel, wade and play with dozens of southern and cow-nose rays. Some of these peaceful animals can grow up to 4 feet in diameter and, unexpectedly, feel velvety to the touch.
