Swimming with Dolphins is on everybody’s wish list, this once in a lifetime experience will never be forgotten and this Park is perhaps the best place in the world where you can get the opportunity. The swim with dolphins experience begins with a video presentation about these incredible marine mammals, the video presentation features details on the characteristics of dolphins and explains how you will communicate with these wonderful creatures when your experience begins. Then your group of no more than 8 people are taken to a secluded lagoon where you will wade into shallow turquoise waters for that experience of a lifetime.

Here you get to kiss, play and rubdown the dolphins and ultimately have a one-on-one swim through the lagoon together. This is truly an experience that is unmatched elsewhere. The facilities here are perfect, whilst you get the experience of a lifetime in a tropical well kept lagoon you also know and have the peace of mind that the dolphins here are extremely well cared for unlike many other dolphin experiences world wide.

The coral reef experience gives you the opportunity to put on a snorkel and mask and swim for a long as you like through a fantastic lagoon, as you swim you will view an array of marine life with all sorts of fish, rays and coral to view. You even get to swim past sharks and barracuda (protected by glass of course) adding to the experience.
Tropical River is another attraction here, this fresh water river lets you explore caves, a sandy beach on a secluded island and the waterfalls that will soak you and cool you off from the hot Florida sun.

In the ray pool you get to swim play with these animals that can grow up to four feet in diameter, all the animals in this experience are entirely safe and getting close to them is am unforgettable experience.

The aviary at Discovery cove is a surprise too many, hidden behind a tropical waterfall is this breathtaking attraction, with over 250 bird from more than 30 species in a lush rainforest habitat you get the opportunity to get close to these exotic flyers.

If after experiencing the above attractions you need some chill out time then.

With sun lounges and hammocks available you can relax the afternoon away.
