While the crowds can be overwhelming at many theme parks, Discovery Cove limits its number of guests each day in a park that offers everything from sandy beaches and tropical bird aviaries to snorkeling and a lazy river. A Discovery Cove visit also includes breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks throughout the day.

But a day at Discovery Cove also offers up something else; an opportunity to experience a one-on-one dolphin encounter. Accompanied by a trainer, groups of six to eight guests wade into shallow water and become acquainted with their dolphin through hugs, kisses and rubdowns. Then, taking the adventure one step further, guests interact with their dolphin in deeper water for an exciting dorsal fin tow ride back to shore.

This amazing dolphin experience is now part of an amazing Orlando weekend getaway package also featuring a personal concierge, VIP welcome party, Arabian Nights Dinner show, a full day at SeaWorld Orlando OR Aquatica by SeaWorld water park, and a four-night stay in a spacious two-bedroom villa at the luxurious Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa.

Ideally located just minutes from Orlando’s best theme parks and attractions, Westgate Lakes is a lush tropical paradise that boasts a scenic lakefront setting, luxuriously appointed villas, full-service health spa, the Smokehouse Grill restaurant, eight swimming pools and a full schedule of family activities.
