If you love to go fast...

Aquaventure at Atlantis features 141 acres of slides, pools, and watery attractions, including plenty of speedy slides for the bravest vacationers! Climb the 120-foot Power Tower and choose from four slides that will take your breath away. The Abyss’ vertical drop of nearly 50 feet, plus a 200-foot-long body slide, is not for the faint of heart! Or grab a tube and head for The Drop, which starts off with a thrilling “drop” through a dark tunnel. The Surge is an inner tube ride featuring a drop into a cavern and an exciting whitewater rapids ride. 

The extreme free-fall Thunderball slide is a must at Baha Mar’s brand new Baha Bay! Climb the tower and plunge down this high-speed slide...if you dare. Or, for a twist, conquer Devil’s Backbone, where looping, twisting tunnels are guaranteed to thrill even the bravest riders!

If you want to relax…

There’s nothing more blissful than hopping in a comfy inner tube and floating down a lazy river – we could stay there all day! All of Nassau Paradise Island’s water parks have a laid-back river ride for you to enjoy. At Aquaventure, you’ll meander through a mile-long course...just don’t get too relaxed or you might miss the wave surges and a brief section of rapids! At Baha Bay, lie back and enjoy the shade created by the lush tropical foliage lining the river. Punctuated with bubbling waterfalls and shady palms, the lazy river at Fins Up! Waterpark at Margaritaville is the perfect spot to unwind with family and friends.
