A Guinness Record holder, Aqua Water Park is the largest Inflatable Aqua Park right in the middle of the sea in the top location of JBR, offering an unmatchable experience. The park is nothing like your common water parks, featuring over 75+ obstacles, taking the name a little too seriously! What makes this waterpark unique and a must-try attraction is its views, the location, and the activities it offers for everyone to enjoy with their friends and family. Getting to the park itself is an adventure, requiring people to swim a certain distance towards the destination with life jackets provided. Spend an entire day here and enjoy the sunset on the beach as the park shuts by 6:30, the time when the sun is close to setting.
