A Splashing Start to Our Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for destinations that promise both fun and learning for my three kids. When I heard about the Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark in Bandar Penawar, I knew it was a must-visit. The idea of spending a weekend at a waterpark with thrilling rides and attractions was too tempting to resist.

We arrived early in the morning, and to our delight, the park was not crowded. The weather was just right—not too sunny, not too gloomy—making it a perfect day for outdoor fun. The kids were bubbling with excitement as we entered the park, and I could already tell it was going to be a memorable day.

Our first stop was the wave pool, one of the largest in Southeast Asia. The kids couldn’t get enough of the waves, and I found myself joining in on the fun. It was a great way to start our adventure, and the laughter and splashes set the tone for the rest of the day.

Thrills and Chills for Everyone

After the wave pool, we decided to try out some of the park’s famous rides. The highlight for us was the Kraken’s Revenge, a water coaster that promised an adrenaline rush. As we looped and dropped, the kids screamed with delight, and I couldn’t help but join in. It was exhilarating and definitely a ride we won’t forget.

For those looking for something a bit more relaxed, the looping river of Penawar offered a chance to chill out in an inflatable. We spent some time floating along, enjoying the gentle current and the beautiful surroundings. It was a nice break from the more intense rides and gave us a chance to catch our breath.

The park also has a dedicated area for younger children, Kids Ahoy, with three play areas and 13 different slides. My youngest was thrilled to explore every slide, and it was reassuring to know that the area was designed with safety in mind.

A Perfect Family Day Out

As the day went on, we took a break to enjoy some fast food at the park. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and affordability of the food. It was a nice change from the usual overpriced theme park meals, and it kept us fueled for more fun.

We ended our day lounging by the Tidal Wave Beach, enjoying the man-made waves and the white sand shores. It was a relaxing way to wind down after a day filled with excitement.

Overall, our visit to the Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark was a fantastic family outing. The combination of thrilling rides, relaxing attractions, and family-friendly amenities made it a perfect destination for us. If you’re looking for a place to bond with your kids and create lasting memories, I highly recommend a visit to this waterpark. It’s a splash-tastic adventure that your family will cherish.
