My swim with dolphins, coral reef snorkeling and more! Photos from an amazing vacation!

When my husband and I celebrated our 16th anniversary, we decided to go back to Orlando, to visit a park we have not been to yet. We visited Discovery Cove. The lush, tropical landscape at Discovery Cove is breathtaking!

I love SeaWorld and dolphins; so this was the perfect vacation spot! At this park you can get up close and personal with these amazing animals! If you are planning a visit to Orlando, Florida; this park is a must see! View more photos from my trip below! That is me to the left with my dolphin CJ!

Welcome to Discovery Cove

Discover Cove is a theme park in Orlando, Florida. At Discovery Cove guests can get up and close with a range of animals. One of the biggest adventures for guests is to swim with the bottle-nose dolphins. Other attractions at Discovery Cove are things such as: an exotic bird aviary, a coral reef with a plethora of tropical fish in the man-made salt water lagoon and a white sand beach. Also, Discovery Cove is all-inclusive: food and drinks are provided for your entire day. (Photo from my visit.)

    This looks like so much fun. I've never done this, but I know I'd love it. We've watched a similar event at Marineland where the visitors make the hand signals etc. And what an awesome idea for an anniversary trip too.
