The last day of our tour I dedicated to my adventurous yearnings. The Aqua venture water park beckoned us with the promise of the most exciting day out in Dubai. Going there by 10 am made a lot of sense as it is open right until sunset. The entry of £45 for adults and £35 seemed reasonable too for an entire day of delight. The cashless payment system of loading up the wristband by use of credit card or even by cash on arrival was the most convenient.
The most wonderful part of this aqua adventure was the stunning beach front location at Atlantis. The tropical 42 acres seem to stretch on forever. I thought the best way to explore this wonderland, is to grab a tube and float your way around this park, by way of the mile long inter-connected waterway.

We decided to spice up the day by braving the rapids and then got into Surge and viewed the skyline of Dubai. However later we went in for the Aquaconda which boasts of being the longest waterslide. The dual racing loops had us in loops. As we emerged out of them, we got into Poseidon’s Revenge which sends you plummeting down at the speed of 60 km per hour!
What really took a lot of courage and coaxing from my family was getting into the centrepiece, called the Ziggurat. As soon as we got it immediately plunged us down the leap of Faith, an actual near vertical free-fall waterslide. We reminded each other, to keep our eyes open as its path was through shark-filled waters.

Taking a break from the adrenalin pumping rides, I walked across the lost chambers aquarium which housed the best of marine life. The tropical waterfall caught my attention, but soon my attention by caught by the squeals of delight of my son and husband who were trying the rope bridges and water sprays and canons.
Here we were in the city of Dubai! On our last day, enjoying a fun filled day drenched to the skin in this water park. This last day adventure made me decide that this is one place which we all need to come again and again, as I gazed at the stunning golden beach.
