Things to Do at Atlantis Aquaventure Dubai

1. Atlantis Aquaventure Water Park

Aquaventure Waterpark is one of the largest waterparks in Dubai; it’s not only the centerpiece of Atlantis Aquaventure but also the major attraction of Atlantis, The Palm as well as the Palm Islands. For nearly a decade, this humungous, award-winning waterpark has redefined the quality standards of the waterparks worldwide. It boasts of some of the world’s best rides and record-breakers in their own esteem. But, just before we go into its rides, slides, and attractions, here are some salient facts about this water park:

• This stunning waterpark sprawls 17 hectares and uses 18 million liters of water for its rapids, pools, and waves.
• Aquaventure waterpark has the longest waterpark river in the Middle East – The Rapids.
• It is the only water park in the Middle East to offer aquatic animal experiences such as Shark Safari and Cownose ray feeding.
• The waterpark has the longest zipline circuit – Atlantean Flyers and the world’s first twin racing tube rides – Slitherine’s and Anaconda.

Atlantis Water Park Rides

• Tower Of Neptune

The Tower Of Neptune is nine stories tall, with a huge vertical drop. The drop is from the Leap of Faith and goes via the acrylic tube where you’ll be surrounded by manta rays and killer sharks. Explore the shark lagoon while safely ensconced in the inner-tube, a journey aptly called Shark Attack. The ride ends when you pass through the Water Coasters’ labyrinthine of tunnels and finally plop out in the lazy river.

• Zoomerang

This ride offers you the great pleasure of feeling almost weightless. So if you’re carrying around a few extra pounds, you’ll be happy with this ride. You’ll feel weightless as you slide through the mega plummets and vertical zooms of the Zoomerang.

• Poseidon’s Revenge

Step into Poseidon’s Revenge’s capsule and then splash! The floor slides out from under your feet and you’re plummeted downwards at 60 kph and then propelled upwards! Take up this ride only if you’re absolutely sure you can deal with it.

• Tower Of Poseidon

Offering the ultimate surge of adrenaline is a ride in the largest waterslide of the world – the famed Anaconda. After you’re done twisting and sliding via the scary dark tunnel of the Anaconda, you’ll be dropped off into the largest fiberglass tube in the world, where the race continues.

• Splasher’s Children’s Play Area

Splashers are for kids who are below 4 feet in height. They can climb the mountain while enjoying the water spray from the large tipping buckets. There are seven kid-friendly waterslides plus fourteen family-friendly waterslides at Splashers Mountain.

• Cownose Ray Feeding

In the Shark Lagoon you’ll come across not just sharks but the very elusive Cownose Rays. These friendly creatures will swim around you and you can have fun with them. An adventure especially for kids, Cownose Ray Feeding is an interactive session where marine biologists share their knowledge. Young kids can hand-feed the rays under supervision. Both adults and young kids can participate.

• Shark Safari

All you need is a helmet to protect your head and then you get into the Shark Lagoon. You don’t need to be an experienced diver for this. Enjoy an up-close experience with the dangerous killer sharks and manta rays. The Shark Lagoon is a controlled environment – you won’t struggle to breathe or walk. If you’re older than 8 years, you can participate in this shark adventure. Before you jump in, though, you’ll be trained by professional marine biologists so that you’ll recognize the animals when you encounter them.

• Atlantean Flyer Zip Line

The longest zipline in the middle-east, this one is not for you if you aren’t ready for a mega-adventure. Sheer speeds and the stunning scenery of the beachfront, the Dubai skyline and the Palm Islands are your rewards. You can even dock a camera into your helmet harness and get a good video out of it.
