Swim with Dolphins

Orlando may be famous for their theme parks, but if you want a truly unforgettable experience then make sure you put aside some time to swim with dolphins.

There are lots of groups that sell packages which include transportation to the Florida Keys (about 200 miles away), food and the chance to swim with dolphins.

Make sure you shop around and plan ahead, prices typically range from $200 to $300 for adults and less for children.

If that seems a little too pricey for you or you’d rather not travel to the southern end of the state, then check out one of the best kept secrets in Orlando – a place where you can snorkel in the city and swim with dolphins.

SeaWorld Orlando operates Discovery Cove, an exclusive water world retreat which gives you a chance for one on one interaction while you swim with dolphins.

The Cove requires reservations and limits daily attendance to about 1,000 people a day.

After a personal check-in you get to visit the Dolphin Lagoon where you and two other guests interact with a trainer and swim with dolphins.

You can also snorkel through a coral reef, play with southern and cownose rays and raft along a tropical river.
