Discovery Cove is your “wait, am I still in Florida?” moment.
This tropical day resort lets you swim with dolphins, float down lazy rivers, and lounge under palm trees—with zero theme park chaos.
One-Day, All-Inclusive, Zero-Stress
Here’s the deal: Discovery Cove is a full-day, all-inclusive experience.
That means admission includes meals, drinks (yes, including cocktails), snorkel gear, towels, wetsuits, and access to every attraction.
No lines, loud crowds, or extra charges every five minutes.
It’s the anti-park park.
Swim with Dolphins (or Just Watch Them Flip)
The headline experience? A reserved dolphin swim, where you meet, interact with, and ride along with a dolphin in a tropical lagoon.
It’s bucket-list stuff and worth the momentary loss of cool as you giggle like a kid.
Not into marine close-ups? You can still enjoy the park without the dolphin add-on—there’s plenty to do without it.
Snorkeling, Lazy Rivers, and Animal Encounters
Grab your snorkel and glide through the Grand Reef, where tropical fish and rays surround you like you’re in a living screensaver.
No training required—just float and vibe.
Then drift through the Wind-Away River, passing waterfalls, aviaries, and even through a cave.
It’s equal parts relaxing and wildly photogenic.
Bonus: The park’s Explorer’s Aviary lets you hand-feed tropical birds (who sometimes get very excited about snacks).
VIP Feels, Even Without the VIP Price
The all-inclusive setup gives serious luxury vacation energy.
Lounge chairs, hammocks, and shaded cabanas are everywhere, and there’s a max guest cap each day to keep the vibe calm and exclusive.
Upgrade to a private cabana or SeaVenture experience if you want even more luxury-level extras.
