Our slides have been listed with what we believe to be the most challenging first and the least challenging at the end. The ranking of our slides is a matter of personal opinion and is for guidance only. We strongly recommend that visitors using the flumes have an adequate swimming ability and are confident in the water. We have a variety of flumes with water depths ranging from 0.5m - 2m suitable for varying degrees of swimming ability. Please note, we do NOT have a conventional swimming pool.
