Trainer for day at discovery cove
The Trainer for a Day program is an exclusive program available for up to 24 guests each day, separated into three groups of 8. You will arrive by 8am and spend the day with a dolphin trainer until 3 pm. The rest of the afternoon will be yours to enjoy all of our amenities and attractions at your leisure. The morning begins with a behind-the-scenes small-mammal interaction and training session, feeding and care of exotic birds in the free-flight Aviary, 30 minute dolphin interaction, behind-the-scenes feedings in the Grand Reef, behind-the-scenes animal food preparation and record review, ending the day with an enhanced dolphin interaction and training encounter.
This enhanced dolphin interaction will have an exciting double foot push by two of our dolphins!
