This South Pacific themed water park makes a splash with visitors of all ages. From numerous water slides to the many relaxation points, visitors will find everything from energetic entertainment to simply kicking back and relaxing in one of the many pools.

Situated an approximate 20 minute drive from downtown Orlando, Aquatica® is a must see for visitors coming to sample a slice of south sea island paradise. Officially owned by SeaWorld®, the 24-hectare resort includes stunning man-made beaches with controlled waves and water temperatures, suiting swimmers of all ages. The rides on offer range from fast paced to leisurely raft journeys. Perfect for adrenaline junkies and sun bathers.

Dolphin Plunge is one of the most sought out attractions at Aquatica®, perfect for those seeking high velocity entertainment. This enormous ride plunges passengers deep into a lagoon, home to the friendly Commerson’s dolphins. Watch out for these amazing creatures as they zip past you whilst under water.

Sample the rush of white water adventure on the Roa’s Rapids, charge head first down the Taumata Racer, or experience the rocking sensation on the half pipes of the Omaka Rocka for an adrenaline packed afternoon.

The gentle journey through Loggerhead Lane offers a welcome change of pace from the high velocity water rides. Float at ease through this popular attraction and view the amazing wildlife, above and below the surface. The raft gently drifts through an aquarium full with exotic fish that dance almost majestically all around you.

Walkabout Waters is a great place to enjoy for families. This 18-metre fortress is armed with spray guns and hoses, offers families the chance to splash around for hours at their leisure. The Walhalla Wave is also a great attraction for the young and young at heart, the same raft spins and twists through 6 storeys of tubes and slides.

The park is also brimming with relaxation points and restaurants to refuel after an action-packed day. There is a great buffet at Banana Beach, and visitors have the option to pre-order a Family Picnic at certain times of the season. Book your own cabana for the day or reserve your spot with a sun lounger and umbrella.
