Discovery Cove offers timely options to add sizzle, splash to Valentine's day

As the annual scramble for memorable and meaningful Valentine’s Day gifts gets hot and heavy, couples will fall in love with three new Valentine’s packages at the tropical hideaway of Discovery Cove®. From chocolate and roses, to champagne and private cabanas, the exclusive, reservations-only retreat has covered all the bases for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day for two. Adding to an amazing day swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with rays and tropical fish, relaxing on pristine beaches and drifting along a crystal clear tropical river, these packages give Valentine’s Day a spectacular sizzle and splash found only at Discovery Cove®.
With spaces still available the week of February 11 and packages valid through February 29, 2008, there is plenty of time to make February a month to remember. The three Valentine’s Month packages include:
Valentine’s Honey Package Starting at just $74.95, this sweet treat includes a souvenir 6 x 8 photo and frame; boxed chocolates; and a keepsake buoy with a personalized message delivered to your honey by one of Discovery Cove’s lovable Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.
Valentine’s Sweetheart Package Upgrade to the Sweetheart Package ($149.95) to enjoy the souvenir photo and frame, chocolates, and dolphin “love note” delivery, plus a private cabana overlooking the Dolphin Lagoon, a bottle of champagne, and two souvenir toasting flutes.
Valentine’s Romance Package The Romance Package ($299.95) gives guests the ultimate experience, combining Honey and Sweetheart package amenities with a champagne chiller, one dozen red roses, and a souvenir DVD of their Discovery Cove® experience.
Package prices are in addition to park admission and require the purchase of at least one dolphin-swim package. Florida residents can take advantage of an exclusive rate of $199 (plus tax) for a dolphin-swim package, and just $99 (plus tax) for a non-dolphin swim package.
Located in the heart of Orlando, Discovery Cove® provides a secluded, tropical retreat where couples can enjoy extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime adventures together through up-close encounters with exotic marine life and other animals. In the sparkling Ray Lagoon, couples have unlimited time to snorkel, swim and wade hand-in-hand among hundreds of velvety, graceful cownose and southern rays. The Coral Reef provides an incredible underwater playground full of thousands of colorful, tropical fish and other marine life. In the massive free-flight aviary, shady walkways lead through a lush jungle where guests can observe and hand-feed more than 250 exotic birds. A winding river, sandy beaches and resort pool add to the paradise, but the centerpiece of the park, and the highlight of the Discovery Cove® experience, is the dolphin interaction. Here, guests learn about, play with and ride alongside a beautiful bottlenose dolphin. Each visitor enjoys up-close interactions, such as kissing, petting and feeding the gentle dolphins – for most guests, a dream come true. With each of the Valentine’s packages, a dolphin will help you make a lasting impression by personally delivering a “love note” buoy to your sweetheart.
With only 1,000 guests per day, couples can spread out to enjoy the all-inclusive benefits of a full continental breakfast, freshly-prepared lunch, all snacks and beverages throughout the day. Admission also includes the use of all park amenities such as snorkel gear, towels, lockers and parking, as well as a seven-day, unlimited-use pass to either SeaWorld Orlando or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
