Does Volcano Bay provide towels?

Make sure you've got strong swimmers if you plan to do the Ohno and Ohyah drop slides. These two body slides plunge into a 10-foot-deep pool! Volcano Bay does not provide any free towels, so be sure to bring your own if you do not want to rent them (it costs $7).



No, Universal’s Volcano Bay does not provide free towels to standard day-guests in 2026. If you do not bring your own, you must rent them at the "Krakatau Station" or "Waturi Island" lockers for a fee of approximately $6 per towel. This is a common point of frustration for travelers used to Disney’s water parks (where towels are free for resort guests), so it is a high-priority "pro-tip" to pack your own quick-dry travel towels to save money and avoid the rental lines. The only exception is for guests who rent a private cabana, which comes stocked with a set of towels for the day. Additionally, if you are staying at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel, you are still required to bring your own towels to the park, as the hotel pool towels are not permitted to leave the resort premises. Given the humid Florida climate, bringing a high-quality microfiber towel is the most efficient choice, as it dries quickly between uses and fits easily into the small lockers provided near the park entrance.
