Top 6 Attractions at Costa Caribe Aquatic Park
King Khajuna
King Khajuna is undoubtedly the most intense ride at the Caribe Aquatic Park. The overwhelming structure of King Khajuna reflects the magnanimity of the legend on which it is based. The slide is 31 meters in height and features a bewildering 55 degree drop. The result is you reach a speed of more than 20 kilometers an hour. Not many have the spunk to handle King Khajuna. Do you?
Height Restriction: 1.40 m
El Triángulo de las Bermudas
Taking it up a few notches, Caribe Aquatic Park turns to the attraction that recalls the dark legend of the Bermuda Triangle. For years the mystery of this part of the Earth had overrun scientists, just as the enormous waves of the pool would do to you in this attraction. If you escape the waves, there are water cannons to knock you over. Will you overcome these? There is only one way to find out.
Height Restriction: 1.80 m
Mambo Lambo
Caribe Aquatic Park is also about soaking you in a cool Caribbean ambience with a generous share of adrenaline. Mambo Limbo stays true to that by bringing to you and your kids the rhythm of reggae along with a 12 meter high water slide. Relax and gently glide down one of the slides while letting the tropical setting refresh you to the very bone. This is your chance to take it all in.
Height Restriction: 1.10 m
El Galeón Pirata
Moving on to bit of an advanced ride, El Galeón Pirata features a small pirate galleon within Caribe Aquatic Park specially designed for the mini pirates. The kids can plunge into the pool from the ship via number of slides of varying height. The galleon itself is populated with characters from Sesame Street. This is one of the new rides at the Caribe Aquatic Park and definitely one your kids will love.
Height Restriction: 1.10 m
El Gran Caribe - Zona Indoor
A great thing about Caribe Aquatic Park is that you will never run out of things to do here. At Zona Indoor, your kids will be able to go on a ride in a full-scale aircraft under your supervision. It also has a shallow pool with water guns, jets, slides, and many other attractions. The adults, in the meantime, can take a breather on a sun lounger.
Height Restriction: 0.90 m- 1.20 m
Cayo Cookie
We know that taking your kids to an aquatic park can be a bit unnerving, given the obvious safety concern. Not at Cayo Cookie, though. This new attraction at the Caribe Aquatic Park features jet streams of water that appear randomly. The kids might even spot the cookie monster somewhere around. And if at any point you get the urge of joining in, just go ahead. Wholesome and safe family fun, isn’t that the dream?

Caribe Aquatic Park Salou Reviews
We thoroughly enjoyed the park. We travelled just last week during the covid crisis so the queues for the attractions were not at all busy. There is a great choice of slides and facilities at the park to suit all ages. My son is 12 and he just couldnt get enough. We ate at one of the indoor restaurants and it cost an average of 10 euro pp but you can bring your own snacks with you.
- Mrs R, TripAdvisor, July 2020
Good water park with thrilling slides and relaxing pools highlight being the yellow and red slide (Be prepared to be soaked!) , however, this isn’t worth more than half a day as everything gets repetitive after a while, I understand there may not be enough space to expand but management could introduce shows to maintain interest as well as one more new slide, but overall, if you’re at Portaventura, then do it as it is good for an hour or two, distracts from the heat during summer months and saves the extra distance for the other water park in Spain, Aquaviles.
