  • The popular venue, located at Atlantis on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, is one of the premiere water parks not just in the UAE, but across the Middle East.

    With plenty of rides and slides, as well as a range of sea creatures, you can explore your adventurous side while enjoying thrills and spills.

    Don’t end your visit without experiencing Aquaventure’s signature ride, the Leap of Faith.

    The nine-storey tall slide will send you zooming down almost fully vertical through a tunnel with sharks and cownose rays on either side.

    If you want a closer look, get on a two person inner-tube for Shark Attack, in which you’ll emerge protected in a shark-filled lagoon.

    Cap off the Tower of Neptune with its water coasters, which will launch you through dark tunnels before you find yourself on the lazy river, not knowing what hit you.

    The heat-stopping fun continues with Aquaconda, self-proclaimed as the world’s largest waterslide.

    You and three others will make your way through a dark and twisting tunnel, only to be dropped in the largest fibre glass tube in the world.

    For sheer thrills, maybe nothing beats Poseidon’s Revenge. All you can do is hold your breath as you step into the capsule and wait for the floor to fall out from under you, sending you flying at speeds of 60 kilometres per hour.

    After having your heart in your mouth, compete against your friends to see who is the fastest in the dual waterslide within a waterslide of Slitherine, or feel the plummets and zooms of Zoomerango.

    Other attractions at Aquaadventure include river rides, Splasher’s play area designed specially for children, 700 metres of private beach, cownose ray feeding and a shark safari.

    Aquaventure currently has a UAE resident rate of Dh195 available for adults and Dh170 for children, while those with upcoming birthdays will receive a special free day pass to use any time during their birthday week.
