TOUR THE SEAWORLD

For an all-inclusive adventure like no other – head to Discovery Cove

-

DISCOVERY Cove offers an exhilarati­ng and varied adventure, all in the very heart of Orlando. What’s more, you can relax and enjoy your adventure knowing that your food, drink and equipment is all included.

From spectacula­r rocky lagoons and colourful reefs to sparkling white sandy beaches, it’s a ready-made tropical island you won’t want to leave.

Perhaps the most incredible attraction of all, though, is the Dolphin Lagoon, which makes the trip truly unique – and, as it’s suitable for ages six and over, it will appeal to the whole family. Discovery Cove’s lagoon is the only place in Orlando where you can swim with a dolphin, and see the real appeal of these fascinatin­g creatures at first hand. Dolphins are highly sociable and acrobatic mammals, and once you have befriended one and are on first-name terms, you can take a ride on its dorsal fin back to the shore – ready to discover the rest of the exciting possibilit­ies on offer.

Water babies will be spoilt for choice. You can walk the ocean floor in SeaVenture*, or lose yourself in the cascading waterfalls at the Wind-Away River, via dense rainforest, through an underwater cave and on to Serenity Bay. Here you can wade and splash in shallow waters, or take the plunge and swim further out – and remember to look out for the hidden grotto, a charming hideout just waiting to be found.

For those who wish to explore the more vibrant side of aqua life and get up close and personal to the sea creatures, there are golden opportunit­ies to swim alongside thousands of wonderfull­y coloured tropical fish, rays and sharks, as you snorkel or dive through the shimmering Grand Reef. Or perhaps you would prefer to explore Freshwater Oasis and mingle with the charming otters? The Explorer’s Aviary, meanwhile, allows you to meander through tropical and stunning birdlife – where you will be most likely joined by a strutting peacock en route, which will only add to the colourful outing.

TROPICAL SURROUNDIN­GS

IF YOU simply wish to take some time out from all the fun to relax and chill out on stunning white sands, head for North Beach and while away the afternoon on a hammock – in a prime dolphin viewing spot. The beauty is that everything can be done at your own pace, so you can do as much or as little as you choose, while taking in the glorious tropical surroundin­gs.

The varied landscapes at Discovery Cove create a true escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

The Discovery Cove Ultimate Package includes an all-inclusive day at Discovery Cove, including all meals, snacks, drinks (including alcoholic beverages), snorkellin­g equipment, wetsuits, towels, animal-friendly sun cream, shower facilities, lockers as well as 14 days’ access to SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens, plus free parking at all parks.
