Waturi Beach

A wave-filled lagoon faces Krakatau and the waterfalls flowing down the volcano. Swimming and splashing here offer a different water-park experience from the slides, with the volcano providing the scene’s focal point.

TeAwa The Fearless River

Churning rapids and rolling waves propel this whitewater river experience through the volcano and Rainforest Village. Its energetic current makes it a distinctly different outing from the slower Kopiko Wai Winding River.

Honu of Honu ika Moana

A multi-person raft twists along an open water slide and sweeps up two large walls. The sea-turtle-inspired Honu experience brings shared raft thrills to River Village, alongside the separate ika Moana slide.

Punga Racers

Four body-slide lanes turn a descent through sea-cave scenery into a playful race. Each rider takes an individual lane, giving this Rainforest Village attraction a different format from the park’s shared raft rides.

Connect your park day with your arrival

Start with your hotel address and arrival plan. A transfer from Orlando International Airport (MCO) is a separate journey from hotel-to-park transportation. If you plan to visit a park after landing, allow time for bags, check-in arrangements and your chosen admission date.
