Carretera Cala Figuera 07182 La Porrasa,
AQUALAND MAGALUF is a fantastic option for the whole family, having many original water slides and an area especially designed for kids. The Tornado is not to be missed. It consists of a tubular water slide that sweeps you down to a giant funnel where you will be whirled around by the power of the water and finally thrust down into a swimming pool. Those who dare feel what is like to be absorbed by the power of the Tornado cannot resist repeating. The return journey on the water ride Boomerang, with its 40º fall, is another highlight of the park. For a relaxing moment there’s the Congo River. For more adrenalin: Kamikaze, Rapids and a whole lot more.
