Timeline

  1. 09:00

    Aquaventure Waterpark

    Head straight to Aquaventure Waterpark to make the most of the morning hours. The extreme slides like Leap of Faith are best tackled when the queues are shorter and the sun is not yet at its peak intensity.

  2. 10:45

    Nasimi Beach

    Walk 15 minutes to Nasimi Beach. Grab a cold drink or light snack at this beachfront bar. It is the perfect spot to rest your feet and enjoy the ocean breeze after a morning of activity.

  3. 11:30

    Jungle Bay Waterpark

    End your afternoon at Jungle Bay Waterpark. This newer facility offers a different vibe and is a great place to unwind. Since it is located SSE of the anchor, it provides a nice geographic variety to your loop around the Palm.

Local tip

The Palm Islands are vast. Use the monorail or hotel shuttles to move between the fronds if you prefer not to walk long distances. Nasimi Beach can get busy, so arrive early for the best tables.

Check before you go

  • Check the operating hours for Aquaventure and Jungle Bay Waterparks as they may vary by season.
  • Nasimi Beach hours can fluctuate; verify opening times if you plan to stay late.
