Dolphins, Marmosets and More in a Tropical Orlando Oasis

This event is sold out. Check out more of our upcoming VIP Experiences!

If swimming with dolphins is on your bucket list, you’re in luck! At our Discovery Cove® Dolphin Encounter, you’ll not only get to hang out with these awesome aquatic creatures, but also make friends with playful otters and snorkel with tropical fish. During your first night at Orange Lake Resort, you’ll enjoy a private dinner with drinks and live entertainment. You’ll also have opportunities to meet and mingle with other members before your “fin”-tastic experience!

The next morning, you’ll board private transportation and be driven to Discovery Cove® in Orlando, a resort-like theme park featuring unique animal encounters in a breathtaking environment. Upon arrival, everything will be set for you from dolphin swim time to a private cabana and more. You’ll begin your day getting up-close and personal with a dolphin as a professional trainer teaches you about these beautiful creatures. Get ready for lots of photo ops as your aquatic buddy shows off its tricks, pulls you through the water and more!

And your experience isn’t over yet! Next, you’ll have opportunities to swim with rays, angelfish and thousands of tropical fish in The Grand Reef, meet and play with otters and curious marmosets in the Freshwater Oasis, and hand-feed exotic birds in the aviary as you spend the day experiencing all that the park has to offer. And you’ll enjoy all this with unlimited food throughout the day and a premium open bar. To top it all off, you’ll also receive a pass giving you access to SeaWorld® Orlando and Aquatica® Orlando for the next 14 days!

Transportation will be provided to and from Orange Lake Resort and our experience. Please note some walking will be involved with this event (10 on a scale of 1–10*), which may include stairs.
