You can learn to surf on artificial 3-meter waves. Little adventurers, on the other hand, can explore the lost fortress of Lost City full of waterfalls, bridges, and of course, water slides, such as a giant water climbing frame. Definitely, no one will be bored here.
Aqualand Costa Adeje
Besides the aforementioned Siam Park, this water park looks like his poor brother, but it is not really surprising. Nevertheless, Aqualand Costa Adeje in Tenerife is a full-fledged water park, which offers a number of swimming pools and water slides and a dolphin show too. In addition, there is also a fairytale water castle for the little ones or a relaxation area with a jacuzzi with heated water and hydromassage streams, hammocks next to the pools, or the lazy river Lava River.
