Slipping, sliding, and soaring are just some of the action packed thrills you can expect at Waterworld-Inflatable Waterpark at The Strand.

From inflatable stepping stones, slides, monkey bars, the infamous blob and more, there’s plenty to get wet and wild amongst!  

I was lucky enough to try out the course for myself thanks to Waterworld’s managing director Kel Travers and his friendly team.

“People are having heaps of fun, having lots of laughs and being safe.

“That's what makes it all worthwhile,” says Kel.

And he’s right!

I couldn’t keep the smile off my face barrelling through the different bouncy obstacles. 

But it isn’t easy – one slip on the park’s smooth surfaces, and you’re sliding into the refreshing blue below.

Then it’s into seal mode as you wriggle back up for more water filled excitement!

“It's just awesome to bring a big family attraction to The Strand,” says Kel.

“There’s not many activities around where mum, dad, teenagers, and younger kids can all play at the same thing.

That’s the cool thing – we bring families together.”

‘The Blob’ is Kel’s favourite park activity and was mine too.

Jumping onto a large inflatable cushion and scooting to the end, the anticipation builds as your ‘blobber’ prepares to send you sky high.

With a “three, two, one!,” you’re hooting and hollering as you suddenly launch above Tauranga Moana, soaring before the harbour catches you with a splash.

Book now and experience Waterworld for yourself!

The park will be open at The Strand until Tuesday, February 6.
