Aquaventure at Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas

The water park at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, known as Aquaventure, is the largest and most extensive of its kind in the Caribbean. Moreover, it serves as a standalone destination, arguably the most iconic feature of the Atlantis, eclipsing even its grand casino.

Primarily accessible to hotel guests, though a limited number of day passes are available for outside visitors, the park boasts an impressive mix of water slides, a lazy river, and captivating aquariums filled with exotic sea life. This unique setting incorporates elements of both Mayan culture and the mythical lost city of Atlantis. Here are some top attractions that await your visit:

Attractions of Mayan Temple

Mayan Temple: Leap of Faith

The striking Mayan Temple, located at the core of the Atlantis pool area, offers the park’s most thrilling slide, aptly dubbed the Leap of Faith. This 60-foot drop appears even more intimidating from the summit, and the near-vertical plunge leaves riders breathless, offering a unique auditory experience as friends and family cheer from a nearby bridge.

Mayan Temple: Serpent Slide

The Serpent Slide, also within the Mayan Temple, provides a euphoric ride through shadowy tunnels on a double tube. This spiraling adventure delivers guests directly through a shark tank, resulting in an exhilarating experience as guests float mere feet from the gliding sharks.

Mayan Temple: Challenger Slide

The Challenger Slide features twin slides that race riders at impressive speeds down a pool, where a timing clock enhances the excitement, making this a great competition for families and friends.

Power Tower Thrills

The Falls

Known for offering a range of thrilling waterslides, the Power Tower in the park utilizes advanced water technology termed “master blaster” to propel riders down the slides. The Falls extends nearly 60 feet vertically before swirling riders back through exhilarating spirals into a torrent of water, enhancing the mystery as dark tunnels conceal the unseen thrills of this attraction.

The Abyss

Perhaps the most thrilling experience comes from riding The Abyss, where riders are treated to a heart-pounding vertical drop that lasts around 14 seconds. Those who admire waterslides will eagerly return for multiple rounds before departing for other attractions at the resort.

Relaxation at The Current

For those seeking a more leisurely experience, Atlantis also features some relaxing river rides. The Current, a mile-long river, weaves its way around the resort, passing through caves and stunning landscapes. Utilizing gentle currents, the ride glides through a series of waterfalls and small waves, although its leisurely pace may make it difficult to disembark at times.
