There are more than 14 attractions for all ages: for the more adventurous, for those who want strong emotions where adrenaline is the main protagonist, for those who want to spend a relaxing time and, of course, for the youngest members of the family.
 

We’re going to show you what, for us, are the 5 best attractions of Aqualand Maspalomas, with which you’ll enjoy all the excitement of a real water park.

1. Kamikaze

One of the most legendary attractions of the whole park. It has been there since its opening and is in very good conditions.

It’s an attraction at Aqualand in Gran Canaria, with two equal slides, placed in parallel, where you go at high speed and end up with a steep descent that’ll make you vibrate with excitement.

2. Mamut

An attraction for the whole family. The Mammoth (Mamut), as its name suggests, simulates the trunk of a mammoth and is the largest slide in the park.
 

To enjoy it, you have to get on a float, which holds a maximum of 8 people, making it an ideal attraction to enjoy with family or friends.

3. Boomerang

One of the park's newest attractions. Only suitable for the most daring and for those looking for strong emotions.

You’ll be able to enjoy the Boomerang with another rider, so you won't face the steepest and most vertiginous descent in the entire park alone.

4. Racer Twin Turbolance

This is the new star of Aqualand Maspalomas. Racer Twin Turbolance is one of the biggest tubes we can find in Europe.

It has a fast, dynamic ride that’ll leave you breathless as you take every curve and slope of the attraction. When you're done, you won't want to do anything else but go on it again.

5. Río del Pirata

To end a day full of thrills and spills, what better way to relax than on the Pirate River (Río Pirata).

Enjoy a well-deserved rest at Aqualand in Gran Canaria, letting yourself be carried by the current, going along a long circuit with a pirate theme on top of a float in which up to 3 people can go.
