Turn up the thrills like never before. Here, Thrill Waterpark® puts adventure in the fast lane with shriek-inducing slides and rushing tides. You can soar up to 137 metres high in a helium balloon for island views in every direction. And get your adrenaline fix ziplining across the sunny, blue sky.

WAYS TO DINE 

Perfect Day at CocoCay offers loads of options to fuel up in between adventures. Like harbourside views, chicken wings and fries with signature dipping sauces at Captain Jack's®. Freshly grilled burgers and barbecued chicken at Skipper's Grill. And a full menu of Caribbean-style bites at Chill Grill. Looking to savour the suite life onshore? Access to the exclusive Coco Beach Club® includes elevated Mediterranean flavours paired with breathtaking ocean views.
