Aquatica’s freshest attraction, the all-new Reef Plunge, sends you zooming past a vibrant array of marine life and other aquatic wonders, including a school of playful, black-and-white Commerson’s dolphins — and that’s just the start of the thrills waiting for you here. Race family and friends down the world’s tallest dueling racer, Riptide Race, or “climb” a vertical wave wall during a high-adrenaline, weightless adventure that’s guaranteed to thrill you on KareKare Curl.

More fun on rafts and tubes can be found at Ray Rush, Omaka Rocka, Tassie’s Twisters, Walhalla Wave and Whanau Way. You can even grab a mat for a lightning-fast, eight-person competition at Taumata Racer. Not that you need a conveyance to have a blast at Aquatica. Take a solo run through Ihu’s Breakaway Falls — the steepest multi-drop tower in Orlando — or race through a roaring sea of high tides at Roa’s Rapids.

There’s truly something for everyone. Younger guests will enjoy kid-centric attractions like Walkabout Waters and the all-new Turi’s Kid Cove opening spring 2023, which in turn will feature a new water slide, Tamariki Twirl — a pint-sized half pipe designed just for kids. And the whole family can frolic among the waves and sand together at the Cutback Cove and Big Surf Shores wave pools.

The wave pools also have sandy beach areas that are perfect for relaxation, and Loggerhead Lane — a lazy river where you can float past exotic tropical fish and the park’s dolphin exhibit — extends the tranquility. For still more serenity, reserve a lounger or a private cabana on Aquatica’s sunny beaches.
