AQUALAND MASPALOMAS
A Things to Do in Tenerife
2
A behemoth of a water park that spans 90,000 m²,
the Aqualand Maspalomas is the biggest in the
Canary Islands. And within the enormous expanse
of land are 33 jaw-dropping slides, 13
exhilarating rides, and 3,000 m² of swimming
pools and a picnic area that family and friends
can enjoy all year round. Theres really no
better way to spice up the good ol Gran Canaria
experience than adding Aqualand Maspalomas to the
itinerary. This water wonderland adds fun and
thrill to an already fantastic Gran Canaria
vacation. Dare to drop from one of the highest
slides in the whole of Europe. Spin and go side
to side while on a rubber ring in the curved
rapids. Ever wondered what its like to interact
with sea lions? Here, you can even swim them. In
Aqualand, theres not a good enough reason why
thrill shouldnt be included in a fun and
relaxing vacation.

Aqualand Maspalomas Attractions
Gran Canaria has amazing landscapes and the best
beaches however, very few of them can offer the
same excitement. In Aqualand, people of all ages
can have fun, and theres always something for
anyone willing to get soaked.
Adrenaline Rush
People who love water, drops, slopes, and speed
will fall (figuratively and literally) in love
with the wide array of adrenaline-pumping slides
in this water park. Dare to propel up, down, and
swerve side to side in 13 colorful slides. Guests
only need to be in their swimwear and have the
courage to try. This year, Snake Falls and
Anaconda were added to their host of thrilling
slides. If the old favorites already make people
weak in the knees, then the two new attractions
will surely have them gasping for air. Amongst
the 13 exhilarating slides, here are the most
exciting ones

Water Labyrinth
This astonishing water slide with wonderfully
bright colors and light effects is 150 meters
long. If the length doesnt impress, this slide
will also send daredevils to over 14 meters fall
and eight downhill slopes face-first.
Racer Twin Turbolance
Slides can get scary, so some might not want to
go alone, or maybe its just better to
tandem-slide. In any case, Aqualand offers a twin
racing water slide for thrill-seeking duos. It
starts with two side by side tube slides that
will send two brave riders per tube racing down a
track before reaching an enclosure that will
plummet them down a nearly vertical drop. The
twin tubes will then accelerate the pairs to two
separate Turbolance slides where they will go
uphill then backwards over a hill till they reach
the end of the ride.
5
Tornado
This is probably the most popular one out of the
13 slides. Like the Racer Twin Turbolance, double
rubber rings are used so riders can definitely be
in pairs. The ride begins with a semi-circular
tube slide connected to a huge space bowl, which
will then spin riders round and round before
exiting through a short tube slide. After going
down the tube slides, guests will know how it
feels being flushed down a toilet.
Kidzworld
Families traveling to Gran Canaria with kids
should not miss Aqualand Maspalomas. Children, no
matter how young, are welcome at Kidzworld. This
vibrant Mini Park has two sections to guarantee
fun experiences in a safe environment. At the
Childrens Paradise, little tykes can have a
thrilling experience with its most popular
attractions. Meanwhile, the Polynesia has slides,
water games, and an overflowing bucket that gives
an added waterfall feature.
Family Fun
The water park wants to provide an unforgettable
fun, adventure and excitement to everyone. To
make sure this happens, theyve set up two
family-friendly attractions that will surely
leave a beautiful lasting memory. They can enjoy
sea-like waves with family and friends every hour
in the Discovery Beach, or go swimming and have
their pictures taken with sea lions. In Aqualand,
guests need not leave for the sea to feel like
being in one.

Chill Out and Play
After or in between trying the adrenaline-pumping
attractions of the water park, guests may want to
just unwind. The good news is Aqualand can still
help them with that. Adults love relaxing in the
huge Jacuzzi that also offers a beautiful view of
the neighboring mountain, while kids play around
keeping themselves amused by the bubbles. They
can also chill while floating on rubber rings
that can accommodate up to three persons in the
Pirates River.

Getting to Aqualand Maspalomas
For tourists who prefer to go by public transport
instead of hiring a car or hailing a taxi, two
Global Bus lines can take them to Aqualand. The
Global Bus line 45 coming from Bahía Feliz passes
by Playa del Aguila, San Agustin, and Playa del
Inglés. Its final destination is the Palmitos
Park, but one of its stops includes Aqualand.
There are three buses in the morning and another
three in the afternoon for the return
journey. For those coming from Puerto de Mogan,
Puerto Rico, Amadores, and Faro Maspalomas, catch
Global Bus line 70. It goes through 39 stops, and
one of them is Aqualand.
Entrance Fees and Opening Hours
The entrance fees for tourists are a bit higher
than residents of Canary Islands, but there are
lots of promos in the official Aqualand
Maspalomas website. Tickets for non-residents
range from 17 to 28 depending on the visitors
age and/or height. For Web Tickets, please note
they cannot be used the same day, as they are
valid 90 days from the date of purchase. A
digital copy saved in a mobile phone or a printed
copy must be presented at the park entrance, or
full price will apply. The beautiful water park
is open all year round unless theres severe
weather. From September to June, its open from
1000 AM until 500 PM, and 1000 AM to 600 PM
from 1st of July to 3rd of September. As for the
attractions, they close 30 minutes before the
parks closing time.

Where to Eat and Stay
Going to the stunning water park and trying all
the attractions inevitably make guests very
hungry. In Aqualand, they make sure theres an
array of delectable food available everywhere
because paradise isnt much of a haven if it
lacks awesome food. Guests can eat and drink
whenever and wherever as food services are well
distributed in the entire park. Popular park
foods like ice creams, pizzas, hamburgers, and
even salads in stands are always located
somewhere near. For some quiet and relaxing meal,
head to the terrace and relish mouth-watering
food off their menu. Aqualand does not have
overnight accommodations at the moment, but
guests can relax in their Jacuzzi or lounge and
get a tan in any of their several solariums.
Word to the Wise Wanderer
Its important for travelers to be well prepared
to make the most out of their Aqualand
experience, but just in case they dont, the
water park has them covered. Because some
travelers tend to bring a lot of things they
wont need and its really impossible for anyone
to bring all their stuff around, the park made
sure there are plenty of lockers for everyone.
What else? Lockers can be shared so theres no
need to get an individual locker for each
guest. Wear flip-flops or water shoes as the
floor can get really hot. Some even wear their
flip-flops around their wrists when going on
slides and the park staff never had a problem
with it.

Icing on the Gran Canaria Cake
Theres just so much to see in the magnificent
island of Gran Canaria. So much awe-inspiring
natural wonders, to die for food, and
entertaining activities to do. Why would anyone
visit a water park in an archipelago full of
breathtaking beaches? Simple for the
thrill. The Aqualand Maspalomas is exactly what
travelers need to upgrade their vacation
experience. All other places on the island can
make everyone go WOW! Every view can make
anyone speechless and silent in appreciation. But
what can make travelers scream in sheer
excitement or spontaneously raise both their
hands up in the air? The answer is Aqualand, and
its the icing on an already delicious Gran
Canaria cake.
