Sunset Cruise and dolphin watch
The first ride you should go on is Reef Plunge, sliding through clear tubes with dolphins swimming right beside me—it felt unreal. After that, I floated around the lazy river and the slides like Ray Rush and Ihu’s Breakaway Falls were also my favorit...
Aquatica Water Park

Clearwater Beach: Parasailing Adventure

Zipline and High Ropes Adventure
