Swimming with Dolphins, a dream come true!
On christmas eve 2007 my dream came true, a prezzie from my lovely bf!

Discovery Cove, is a man built dolphin conservation centre. It holds large sea waters were the dolphins are free to swim, play and breed within the speacial breeding programme.

A all inclusive day means: Interacting with dolphins for 30minuites, free unlimited access into the snorkal pool were you can snorkal with sting-rays, a variety of colourful fish & even find an underwater shark or barracuda tank. There is also the ray pool were you can sit and have rays swim around you and even you have had enough of the fish, you can float on a 30min tidal ride around the whole park with your snorkals if you wish to be at one with the water.
The all inclusive provides you with all meals free, breckie and lunch n tea, and any snacks or drinks during the day. It also provides a free wetsuite for the day and free snorkals and mask & sun cream to take home.

If your not really one for the water they provide sun beads and musical entertainment.There is also a bird section to the park and a conservation talk on aniamals such as ant eaters and owls. Also, if you have swam with dolphins befor you can get the day package that does not include the dolphins but allows you to watch others enjoy their time with these beautiful mammals.

The park opens at 8, and the waters shut at 5/6 depending on the season.
With this day trip you are also provided with a pass to sea world for the next 14 days, unlimited visits - a bonus!

Everyone goes to Orlando for Disney World, Sea World or something along those lines. But I can say in all honesty I had the absolute best time at Discovery Cove, a kind of subsidiary of Sea World. You swim with dolphins - and if that isn't enough, other sea creatures too - pretty much all day. It is expensive for a day trip, but definitely worth it considering you get the experience, and also a free pass to Sea World for a day. The staff is genuine and accommodating, and lunch is also provided. Take it all in while you're there. Don't be afraid to spend the money - again, it's well worth it. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have.
