Whether you’re seeking a high-speed adrenaline rush or a thrilling experience to share with your partner, this water park has got you covered. Brace yourself as you conquer the black thrilling lanes for couples, or challenge yourself on the carpet sliding lanes with a staggering height of 14.5m.
If you’re longing for the rush of high surf, but prefer not to venture into the seas, Rừng Cúc Phương Water Park has got you covered. Take a plunge into the 3m depth wave-making pool and ride the 1.2m high waves. For those seeking extreme experiences, swing on ropes or dive into the 3.5m deep diving pool. If relaxation is more your style, grab a buoy and let the artificial currents of the 450m long “lazy-stream” carry you around the park while you soak up the sun and enjoy the picturesque view of the poetic West Lake.

For those seeking even more adventure, right outside both parks is New Sun Park, an amusement complex that offers thrilling rides like the Giant Wheel and the Thang Long roller-coaster.
