    TenerifeSiam ParkWave Palace

    Imagine crystal-clear water, a sandy beach stretching out before you, and waves that could rival the best breaks on Earth. No need to book a flight to a tropical paradise– just head out to the Wave Palace at Siam Park! We're talking waves that rise like mountains sculpted from turquoise, begging to be conquered by surfers and bodyboarders.

    It's a surfer's paradise, a beachfront mosh pit for adrenaline junkies, and a playground for anyone who wants to feel the exhilarating (and maybe slightly terrifying) power of a perfect wave. It's like stepping into a real-life postcard but way wetter and more awesome.

    About Siam Park

    What to expect at Wave Palace in Siam Park

    • Waves: The Wave Palace boasts some of the biggest artificial waves in the world, reaching up to 3 meters (almost 10 feet) high! However, for regular use, the waves are kept around half that size, making it enjoyable for all ages.
    • Relaxation or thrill: You can choose to bodyboard or boogie board on the waves for a thrilling ride or simply relax and let the waves gently wash over you. There's also a beautiful white-sand beach area where you can wade in calmer waters.
    • Size: The Wave Palace is massive, covering over 13,500 square meters (over 145,000 square feet). This provides ample space for everyone to enjoy the waves, whether you want to catch some waves or just relax by the shore.

    For a relaxing experience

    Mai Thai River: This slow-moving lazy river is a great way to unwind and soak up the sun. You can float along on an inflatable ring, enjoying the tropical scenery and the occasional waterfall.

    Siam Beach: Take a break from the rides and relax on the white sand beach next to the Wave Palace. You can soak up the sun, take a dip in the calm waves, or grab a bite to eat at one of the beachside restaurants.

    For a continued adrenaline rush

    Tower of Power: This is Siam Park's most popular ride, and for good reason. It features a near-vertical drop of 28 meters, followed by a plunge through a transparent tube submerged in a shark tank. Not for the faint of heart!

    The Dragon: Another thrilling ride, The Dragon is a four-person toboggan ride that takes you on a wild journey through twists, turns, and drops.

    Kinnaree: This hybrid water ride combines a raft ride with a roller coaster, offering a unique and exciting experience.

    Visitor tips

    Before you even get in the pool

    • Leave loose items like flip-flops, sunglasses, and jewelry in a locker. You won't be allowed on the waves with them, and they're easy to lose in the pool.
    • Reapply sunscreen often, especially after a wave crashes over you. Consider a waterproof phone case if you want to capture some pics.
    • Water shoes can protect your feet from the sometimes-rocky bottom of the pool. If you prefer flip-flops, take them off before entering. You might lose them if they come off during a wave.

    Entering the Wave Palace

    • The waves are strongest towards the back of the pool. If you're new to wave pools, start near the shallow end, where the waves are gentler. Gradually work your way back as you get comfortable.
    • Having a friend or family nearby is a good idea, especially for young children or those who are nervous.
    • Lifeguards are there for your safety. Follow their instructions and any posted signs about safety procedures.

    Riding the Waves

    • When a wave comes, turn your back to it and lean forward. This creates a more stable position and prevents you from getting knocked over.
    • Take a deep breath before the wave hits, and hold it until you surface. This will prevent saltwater from getting in your mouth.
    • If you get caught in a strong current, don't panic. Stay calm and allow yourself to be carried until you can safely reach the side of the pool.

    Exiting the Wave Palace

    • There are designated exits around the pool. Locate them beforehand so you know where to go when you're ready to leave.
    • When exiting the wave zone, be mindful of people coming in and watch out for oncoming waves.

    Bonus Tip:

    • Have your towel and dry clothes readily available at your locker for a quick and comfortable change after your wave adventure.
