An Oasis in Orlando
An exotic tropical island. A sandy beach. And a family
swim with dolphins and rays.
A tropical resort? Try Orlando.
The Discovery Cove is an all new,
exclusive, reservations-only, oasis-like park that offers its
guests extraordinary adventures through once-in-a-lifetime,
up-close encounters with dolphins and other exotic sea life.
Imagine the playful nudge of a dolphin as you swim and
play together in a lagoon, surrounded by hundreds
of sleek rays, while you go eyeball-to-eyeball with sharks and
barracuda, and play hide and seek with thousands of
tropical fish as you swim through the rainbow of a
spectacular coral reef.
Or hear the sharp cries of brilliantly
plumaged exotic birds as you wander through their aviary, or
relax in a hammock on the sandy shore of a huge,
resort-style pool. All of this is enclosed in a lushly
landscaped setting that can only be described as an island
paradise.
SeaWorld Orlando had created a new, upscale vacation
experience entirely different from the world of theme parks.
At Discovery Cove:
- Visitors create their own highly individualized, intimate
interactions with aquatic life as they swim with the
animals, stake out a spot on the beach, snorkel in a
coral reef lagoon or tropical river, stroll among the
foliage-lined paths and waterways, eat and drink
indoors or out – or just quietly relax in a beach chair
or hammock.
- Admission is by reservation only, with an all-inclusive,
one-charge-covers-all price including a seven-day,
come-and-go-as-you-please ticket to SeaWorld
Orlando, located just across the street. Guests will be
treated to an unexpected level of personal attention.
-
Best of all, here will be no waiting in line, no jostling for space,
no hurry-scurry for any activity. Discovery Cove will
limit the number of visitors to ensure a high level of
personal attention worthy of the world’s finest resorts.
At Discovery Cove, animal lovers can swim and play with
dolphins in three rocky deep-water bays. Guests experience
one amazing encounter after another as they swim and
snorkel among the animals, hang onto a dorsal fin for a
high-speed ride or cradle a dolphin in their arms.
The emotional experience of swimming and playing with
these beautiful mammals -- of communicating in a language
that transcends all words -- creates a rare sense of wonder
about nature in a fast-paced, high-tech world.
"With Discovery Cove, we’re truly redefining the vacation
adventure," says Frank Murru, Discovery
Cove’s general manager. "After the opening of Discovery
Cove, vacations will never be the same."
"This is an entirely different place, where you get
nose-to-nose and eye-to-eye with these fascinating
creatures," says Murru. "There is just nothing else that
comes close to stirring your spirit the way this does. You
can develop a relationship with these strong, amazing
animals, swim with them, play with them, touch them and be
touched by them. For many people, this will be a dream
come true."
Discovery Cove is an all-inclusive property, where one
price covers everything except incidental drinks and snacks.
Guests will have free access to beach umbrellas, lounges,
towels, wet suits, lockers and snorkel gear. A sumptuous
meal also is part of the program, served in the restaurant,
bar or outdoor beach areas.
The concept is grand. The site is unique. The opportunity is
once-in-a-lifetime.
