The all-inclusive day resort, Discovery Cove®, where guests enjoy a one-of-a-kind opportunity to swim with dolphins, has also welcomed 8 wonderful Caribbean flamingos, to add a touch of pink to the park.

How can you see the Flamingos at Discovery Cove®?

Every morning, the Caribbean flamingo’s parade around the park’s pathways and sandy beach. Feel free to walk around the park to see them and welcome them. They are pretty hard to miss as their pink feathers, elegant stance and walk can be seen from quite a few meters away.

You may hear them before you see them, as Caribbean Flamingos have a loud, deep honking call, which they often use during the morning stroll.
