New Underwater Adventures at Discovery Cove The Grand Reef

inline imageDiscovery Cove, the ultimate, all-inclusive tropical oasis where guests swim with dolphins, has taken immersion to new depths with the opening of The Grand Reef.

The new 10,200 square-metre tropical, underwater world features multiple levels of exploration.
From shallow waters to deeper swimming adventures and white sandy beaches, to snorkeling among canyons inspired by reefs from around the world, The Grand Reef is perfect for families.

Visitors of all ages and abilities can enjoy the The Grand Reef, from exploring the tranquil, shallow waters to discovering a below-the-surface world teeming with sea life, or snorkeling in deeper waters as thousands of exotic fish and graceful rays swim around them.

inline imageFamilies can play hide-and-seek along the water’s edge with thousands of colourful fish, from small wrasses to large spotted eagle rays. Or cross a bridge to see sharks swimming below your feet. Further out in the reef, stunning habitats create the feeling of swimming right alongside venomous lionfish and sharp-toothed reef sharks, each safely behind glass. Guests can take paths and bridges to the reef’s islands and hidden grottos as they delve into the reef from above, around and below.

Those looking for an even more exhilarating adventure can take part in The Grand Reef’s innovative experience, SeaVenture*, an underwater walking tour. Wearing dive helmets, guests will come face to fins with venomous lionfish and sharks (safely behind massive panoramic windows). SeaVenture is a once-in-a-lifetime, underwater experience available for a nominal fee.

The Grand Reef is the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation, a fully immersive tropical escape, new to discover in Orlando this summer and beyond.

*For the time being SeaVenture is in a soft open phase to fine-tune the experience and make sure it’s perfect for guests. For guests travelling this summer, providing SeaVenture is in operation on the day guests visit Discovery Cove, they can add it to their experience for an additional charge. SeaVenture cannot be booked in advance at this stage.

That just looks awesome! I think that's what keeps people going back to florida, the parks are always updating year on year, UK parks please take note!

We are really looking forward to this. I'm more excited about it than I am about swimming with dolphins.

I personally think it should be included in the entry fee but nevermind it looks great and might be able to talk my son into doing it

Think I must be in the minority because it looks terrifying to me! I just know that I would feel very claustrophobic and would start to panic. Anyone else feel like me or am I just odd?
