The Valley of Waves at the Lost City is a truly amazing feature. The journey to this magical place starts with a trip over the Bridge of Time which shakes with volcanic activity every hour. Adventure paths, beautiful gardens with hidden caves, forests and a sway bridge surround the valley.
The Roaring Lagoon is a magnificent hydraulic wave pool measuring 6 500 square metres (7560 square yards) which has a beautiful palm-fringed beach. Huge waves are generated every 90 seconds.
The water park has five exciting water rides, including the Temple of Courage, where visitors drop 17 metres (57 feet) down a long chute before being swept away under a bridge and into the pool at the end of the slide. There are also tube rides and body slides.
The Valley of Waves has great services and facilities. There are lifeguards on duty, well-equipped change rooms, lockers and a first aid centre. The ethnic village offers a food outlet, sweetie shop, clothing store, children's playground and pool. The Royal Bath is another larger swimming pool adjacent to the amphitheatre.
