The in-water dolphin experience is approximately 30 minutes. Beforehand, there is a short orientation session (10 minutes) led by Discovery Cove's expert Dolphin trainers to discuss safety and offer an opportunity for participants to ask questions. Next, small groups wade into the shallow water of the Dolphin Lagoon for the in-water experience with the dolphins. Afterwards, you can view photographs and video of your interactions and talk about your experience with trainers and other participants.
