Experience description:
Discovery Cove is Orlando’s premier all-inclusive day resort—a tropical oasis designed for guests who want a calmer, more immersive experience. With a limited daily capacity, the resort offers a relaxed atmosphere where you can swim, snorkel, and unwind without the crowds of a traditional theme park.
An All-Inclusive Escape
Your visit includes freshly prepared breakfast and gourmet lunch, plus unlimited snacks and beverages (including select beer and wine for guests 21+). All your gear is provided, including wetsuits, snorkel equipment, towels, and animal-safe sunscreen. Explore signature habitats like The Grand Reef, where you can snorkel with thousands of tropical fish and rays, or drift through the caves and waterfalls of the Wind-away River.
Signature Dolphin Encounters
For the ultimate memory, select a package that includes the Signature Dolphin Swim. You’ll join a small group for a 30-minute interactive session in the Dolphin Lagoon, learning about dolphin behavior and enjoying a one-on-one deep-water tow or shallow-water interaction.
Extend the Adventure
Discovery Cove is just the beginning. Depending on the option you choose, your ticket can include 14 days of unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. This allows you to balance your relaxing resort day with Florida’s most iconic roller coasters and marine life presentations.
