Everyone who has ever heard of the Emerald Coast knows that the weather on 30A is renowned for being gorgeous year-round. It attracts guests to come spend their vacation on our scenic beaches during the day, while enjoying the ideal nightly temperatures throughout our vibrant neighborhoods. However, any local or 30A regular will tell you that the summer heat can get intense at times. While you can always take a break from the heat in your gorgeous, air-conditioned Exclusive 30A luxury vacation rental, sometimes you want to be outside making the most of your vacation. Besides jumping in the pool or the ocean, both guests and locals alike enjoy the Big Kahuna Water & Adventure Park for a fun change of pace to cool them down.
This titan of community entertainment has been putting smiles on the faces of Emerald Coast visitors since 1986! They boast the ideal location just off 30A in Destin, making the park easily accessible no matter which neighborhood you plan to spend your vacation in. Boasting over 40 different water play areas, rides, slides, and pools plus an adventure park with a few dry activities, Big Kahuna’s offers something for everyone. That is why we receive such stellar reviews from families who have a difficult time finding attractions that will fit children of all ages.
Food is available within the park, so you won’t have to worry about packing a lunch for the day or gathering all the children to leave and then return. The three different locations include meals such as pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs, pulled pork sandwiches, chicken Caesar wraps, and much more. They even offer ice cream and frozen daiquiris just in case the water isn’t keeping you cool enough! Big Kahuna’s also has a variety of events taking place throughout the year with different promotions such as Declaration Celebration, National Waterpark Day, Oktoberfest, and Halloween if you’re lucky enough to have your trip coincide with these specials.
Water Activities
No matter how you want to cool off, Big Kahuna’s assortment of water attractions allows you to maximize your fun in the sun. Experience a competitively fun experience by racing down slides like Kowabunga Racer, Hammerhead, or the Monkey River. Visitors that have more of a need for speed can try individual slides like Cobra Twister, Jumanji, Maui Pipeline, Riki River Run, and Kiddie Slides where the rush of water propels them to a new level of enjoyment.
The Honolulu Halfpipe offers a change of pace to your waterslide fun as you try to catch the perfect wave on this challenging attraction. The Wave Pool, Lazy River, and Bombs Away Bay are the perfect relaxation opportunities to either kick your feet up in an innertube or experience tranquility in a tropical oasis. Different water paces and courses make rivers like the Humunga River, Raging Rhino River, and Thunder River an enjoying adventure no matter how many times you go around! Buccaneer Cove, Pleasure Island, and the Fun Fountains are a children’s paradise, with no height restrictions making them the perfect attractions for the little ones. Whichever ride you choose, guests never leave disappointed from the refreshing and memorable getaway that is Big Kahuna’s.
Adventure Park
Just in case you don’t want to get wet, Big Kahuna’s Adventure Park offers dry attractions that are both action-packed and relaxing. The Sky Coaster is the ultimate thrill ride, flying you through the air to reach speeds of up to 60 mph and heights of up to 100 feet. If the Waterpark doesn’t cool you down enough, the onrushing air from this ride will certainly do the trick. In stark contrast, Tropical Mini Golf offers a fun option for the whole family. 54 challenging holes on three unique courses give even the most traveled 30A vacationers a new experience every time.
*Keep in mind that the adventure park charges separate admission to the water park.
