Take on Leap of Faith

Leap of Faith is one of Aquaventure's signature slides, with a steep near-vertical drop followed by a fast underwater section. It is located in Neptune Tower and requires riders to be at least 1.2m (48") tall.

Pro tip: Head to Neptune Tower early if Leap of Faith is one of your priority rides.

Ride Poseidon's Revenge

Poseidon's Revenge uses a trapdoor-style launch before sending riders into a fast, steep slide. The ride is in Poseidon Tower and requires riders to be at least 1.2m (48") tall.

Pro tip: Check the height requirement before queuing, especially when visiting with younger children.

Explore the Splashers areas

Splashers Island and Splashers Mountain offer water attractions designed for families with children, while Splashers Lagoon and Cove add more family-focused water activities. These areas provide a change of pace from Aquaventure's larger slides.

Pro tip: Use the family areas while bigger groups tackle the more restrictive slides nearby.

Try Surf's Up Wave Rider

Surf's Up is an artificial wave-riding experience where you can practise surfing and flowriding without heading into the sea. Use of the Surf's Up Wave Rider is included with the waterpark ticket.

Pro tip: Check availability when you arrive and plan this around your priority slides.

Relax at Aquaventure Beach

Aquaventure is not only about slides. The waterpark also gives visitors access to its beach areas, making them useful for slowing down between rides or taking a break from the queues.

Pro tip: Use the beach as a midday break before returning to the slides later in the day.

Try Aquaventure's marine experiences

Aquaventure World also connects visitors with marine experiences, including dolphin and sea lion encounters, alongside aquarium and water-based activities. These experiences are separate from the standard ride experience, so check your ticket inclusions before booking.

Pro tip: Book timed marine experiences around your waterpark schedule so you do not miss your slot.

Take a break at premium seating or a cabana

Private cabanas and premium seating give groups a dedicated place to rest between water activities. They can be useful if you are spending most of the day at the park and want a convenient base for your belongings and breaks.

Pro tip: Reserve premium seating or a cabana ahead of time when available, especially for full-day visits.

Spend time at Lost World Aquarium

Pair your waterpark visit with Lost World Aquarium, home to marine life and underwater experiences within Aquaventure World. Certain passes combine waterpark and aquarium access, while other experiences may have separate conditions.

Pro tip: Check your ticket validity before planning the aquarium and waterpark on separate days.

Top rides for thrill-seekers

If you're visiting mainly for the slides, start with Aquaventure's larger towers and check each attraction's height requirements before joining the queue.

Family-friendly activities & zones

Aquaventure has dedicated family areas where younger visitors can enjoy water attractions without taking on the park's biggest slides.

Beach breaks

Use Aquaventure's beach areas as a break between rides. This is particularly useful during a full-day visit when you want some time away from queues and slides.

Pro tip: Plan your break around lunch or another lower-activity part of your day.

Premium seating

Premium seating provides a dedicated place to rest between activities, with complimentary amenities available depending on the seating option.

Pro tip: Consider premium seating if your group plans to spend most of the day at the park.

Private cabanas

Private cabanas are available in different sizes, including family, medium, large, and extra-large options. They give groups a private space to return to between rides.

Pro tip: Check availability before your visit if you want a dedicated space for your group.
