Immerse yourself in an exhilarating all-inclusive tropical getaway at Orlando’s Discovery Cove. Set back into a secluded 30-acre tropical oasis, Discovery Cove is home to swimming tropical fish, jumping dolphins, soaring stingrays, fluttering tropical birds, and white pristine beaches. Here, not only can you see the wonders of the ocean, but discover it for yourself.
Surrounded by tropical lagoons, waterways, reefs, and bays, this beautiful tropical paradise gives guests a unique animal experience. Experience a personal connection with bottlenose dolphins as you swim, play, and train with these amazing creatures. Watch as the dolphins jump through the air, right before your very eyes, and hold on tight for a ride of a lifetime through the crystal blue waters, as you are pulled along by the dorsal fins of these playful creatures. If you prefer to go at your own pace, swim along the stunning tropical reef. Home to enchanting grottos filled with colorful coral, vibrant fish, velvety stingrays, and more, you can experience a true piece of paradise. Wash away your worries at Wind-Away River, where you’ll swim beneath waterfalls, through caves, and beneath the canopies of tropical forests. Or, catch some sun along the 80-degree waters of Serenity Bay.
If land is more your speed, there are plenty of options for you. Head to the Explorer’s Aviary, where hundreds of tropical birds await you. This hidden treasure is tucked back behind the exquisite waterfalls and pure white sand beaches of Discovery Cove. Feed and play with beautifully colored birds at this tropical paradise. If you are looking to get some sun, kick-back and relax on the shores of Discovery Cove where you can see dolphins jump, play, and perfectly shaped palm trees dance above you.
As only one of 1,000 guests enjoying this park at a time, you will get a personalized and intimate experience at this picturesque oasis. Escape from the busy theme parks for the day and discover all there is to see in the stunning waters and land of Discovery Cove.
