Grand Reef

The Grand Reef is a great spot for all visitors, including families. People of all ages can seek and find little natural treasures along the water’s edge: beautiful little spots, creatures of the beach and sea.

There is a bridge that spans out over the water with sharks swimming below. Stand on it and view them as they glide to and fro in their daily hunts. Venture out onto the reef and you can swim alongside sharp-toothed reef sharks, protected by an invisible glass barrier. There are other fish too, by the thousands, colourful and easy to spot as they go about their own routines and lives.

The island has paths and hidden grottos, including a descent into a reef where you can view the life there from above, below, and beside.

Freshwater Oasis

Visit the Freshwater Oasis® for face-to-face encounters with playful otters and curious marmosets. The area is covered over with a rainforest canopy, casting dappled shade down on the frolicking creatures as they play and eat. You can even wade in and walk among them, or float amid them as you enjoy watching them play.

Free-Flight Aviary

Venture beyond a spectacular waterfall and soon you’ll find a series of towering Free-Flight Aviaries. Within them are hundreds of tropical birds for you to view and even feed from your hand!

Wind-Away River

Ride the soothing Wind-Away river through a tropical paradise, taking in the heady air and sea freshness as you view white-sand beaches, rain forest, rocky outcroppings with cascading waterfalls tumbling among them, and even float through an underwater cave.

Laguna Grill®

You can ensure the serene and carefree nature of your holiday by taking full advantage of the all-inclusive package. The Laguna Grill® is only one of the included amenities, but it is a very good one. Continental breakfasts will start your day out right, followed by a sprawling and delicious buffet lunch and all-day-long snacks and treats.

There’s never any rush, and you can eat as little or as much as you like.

This all-inclusive experience includes unlimited access to other great things too, like the Grand Reef, the Ray Lagoon, the Free-Flight Aviary and the Freshwater Oasis. Enjoy free use of a mask, snorkel, wetsuit, life-vest, towels, lockers, beach umbrellas, sun loungers and hammocks – whatever you need to enjoy what’s on offer – you’ll even get all day self-parking included.

PLUS....unlimited admission to SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens + FREE PARKING

SeaWorld Orlando:

With a wide variety of activities, SeaWorld is a great idea for the first full day of your vacation – stadium-style shows means there are tons to see without having to line up in the searing heat! Make sure you pick up a show schedule and take 10 minutes to plan your day proceeding clockwise (or counter-clockwise for you lefties) around the park – running from one side to the other will get old fast!

Make sure you take time for ORCA ENCOUNTER where you can learn more about killer whales and connect in an inspiring new way with the ocean’s most powerful predator. Killer whales are the perfect ambassadors for the ocean. Limitless, powerful, connected…but still vulnerable.

Discover the importance of play for orcas and dive deeper into their masterful hunting techniques. Learn about SeaWorld’s commitment for the killer whales in our care.

SeaWorld has delivered the thrills with Ice Breaker which features four airtime filled launches, both backwards and forwards, culminating in a reverse launch into the steepest beyond vertical drop in Florida – a 93 feet tall spike with 100 degree angle.

OrlandoAttractions.com now only operates using E-Tickets and Vouchers. This method is fast becoming the norm and are is very secure. We also believe as the parks introduce the use of more advanced technology that physical tickets will soon become a thing of the past and we want to take the leap in that direction. Here are some great reasons why this is the right time to make this change:

• E Tickets can easily be re-issued or re-printed if lost or misplaced. (Not so the cardboard ones when the dog’s eaten them, or they’ve been through the laundry!)

• Most Orlando E-Tickets are gate-ready and can be scanned off your mobile phone or a simple printout.*

• E Tickets are in widespread use at concerts, sporting events and theme parks - we love that.

• E Tickets are environmentally friendly - we really like that.

• E Tickets are touchless - paper tickets have to be handled and packaged by our staff and handled again by a courier service - let’s stop that.

• E Tickets allow us to offer even lower prices than we normally do - our competitors won’t like that!

Please always check the FAQ section to find out what type of e-ticket or voucher you will receive.

*Some e-tickets / vouchers require exchange. This currently includes Walt Disney World tickets which require exchange at Guest Relations at the first park you visit, Disney Springs, or any Disney resort hotel.
