How many water rides are in Volcano Bay?

A South Seas oasis located at the heart of Universal Orlando, Volcano Bay boasts more than 20 amazing Volcano Bay water slides, plus a winding river, wave pool, and so much more.



Universal’s Volcano Bay features 18 distinct water-based attractions, ranging from high-thrill body slides to relaxing rivers. The park is anchored by the 200-foot-tall Krakatau volcano, which houses the park's marquee attraction: the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, a four-person canoe ride that uses linear induction motor technology to propel riders upward and downward through the volcano. Other major rides include the Ko’okiri Body Plunge (a 70-degree drop through a trap door), the Honu ika Moana multi-passenger raft slides, and the TeAwa The Fearless River, which is a high-speed torrent river where riders wear life vests instead of using tubes. For those seeking something gentler, the Kopiko Wai Winding River offers a traditional lazy river experience. The park also includes specialized areas like the Waturi Beach wave pool and the Runamukka Reef water play area for children. In 2026, the park utilizes the TapuTapu wearable system to manage virtual lines for all 18 attractions, allowing guests to explore the park rather than stand in physical queues.
