Universal Volcano Bay
Universal Orlando · Orlando, Florida Field guide 17 / 19
“water is life, life is joy”
A water park built around a 200-foot volcano that pours waterfalls by day and glows lava-red by night — the Waturi followed a magical fin across the Pacific to build it, and honestly, fair.

What makes this park itself.
Volcano Bay's trick is that it's a water park with a theme park's soul: one giant icon, a fictional island nation with actual lore, and a wristband that waits in line so you can float instead.
More about Universal Volcano Bay
Do Ko'okiri once for the story and the aqua coaster twice for the joy. Then claim a spot on Waturi Beach and watch the volcano do its thing until the lava lights come on.
The map makes Krakatau the compass point: Waturi Beach's wave pool at its foot, the Kopiko Wai river looping across the top, Rainforest Village to the left, River Village at the top and Wave Village beside the entrance.
