Kids' slides
If your kids aren't yet old enough to handle the large slides, they'll still find plenty to do. Kata's Kookaburra Cove has beginner's body slides, water spouts and pools to help them join in on the fun. Also try Walkabout Waters for splash pools, kid-friendly slides and more.

Relaxing rides
To take a break from the thrills, float down a lazy river or chill out on a lounge chair in the sand as you sip a refreshing drink.
