Discovery Cove® Tickets
 Swim with Dolphins
Welcome to this exquisite tropical island paradise. Discovery Cove® gives you the unique opportunity to swim and play with a beautiful Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, snorkel amongst tropical fish in the Coral Reef, glide with rays and relax on white sand beaches. The dolphin swim is the centerpiece of your visit, you’ll get to know your dolphin through hugs, kisses, and ultimately, a
one-on-one swim together through the lagoon. Then you have the rest of the day at your leisure to relax, explore and simply soak up the indulgent atmosphere. As a reservation only experience, which is limited to a capacity of about 1000 guests a day, it’s a rare opportunity to set your own pace. Offered on an all-inclusive basis with breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks included nothing is going to tax you…Life is good! It’s all about a day of wonderful discovery and a lifetime of memories.
There are three types of dolphin swim package to choose from:
- Discovery Cove Choice of Adventure Swim Package with SeaWorld
- Discovery Cove Choice of Adventure Swim Package with Busch Gardens
- Discovery Cove Ultimate Adventure Swim Package with SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens
All tickets are valid for 14 consecutive days from the first day of use, except Discovery Cove which is a 1 day experience.
Guests of all ages are welcome at Discovery Cove, you must be at least 6 years of age to swim with the dolphins.
