Hua Hin Travel: Vana Nava Water Theme Park

Our first trip to Hua Hin was a very relaxed one. We didn’t go for all the usual touristy spots such as the Santorini Park or the Sheep Farm. Instead, we opted to go for Vana Nava Water Theme Park because my kids love water play and as guests at Hotel Intercontinental Hua Hin, we were given complimentary admission to this park, with free shuttle service there! This is a sure-win for families who enjoyed spending a day doing all kinds of fun water play – I strongly recommend it! Hotel Intercontinental Hua Hin is such a family-friendly hotel and we tremendously enjoyed our time there. But that’s for another post later on. :)

The park map – Looks fun already?? =D

The park works with tags like this – Every guest must wear the tag at all times, and before entering the park, you can ‘top-up’ cash amounts into these tags and they can be used to purchase food and drinks within the park. All unused amounts are refunded when you exit the park.

The first place to head to is the lockers’ room when you can rent your towels and lockers. Yes, it’s not free but it’s not expensive either. One family can share just one locker.

Before you enter the ‘Water Jungle’, there are some facilities you can have fun at – The Ropes Course as well as the Rock Climbing Wall. We skipped there and went straight to the water!

The first thing that we came across was the Surf Zone, and saw one of the lifeguards practicing his moves on it. It’s definitely not easy to master this!

For the adventurous, this sight would definitely excite you! Not for the faint-hearted people like me though. =X We stood there and watched one group of screaming people after another. Everyone reached the ending point with lots of laughter, so I reckon it must be very fun! Perhaps, one day I would find the guts to try it myself.

There are many of such thrilled slides in the whole park, but each looked scarier than the previous one. Haha! Of course, we went straight for the safer options like the lazy river, water playground and the peaceful infinity pool. They were a lot easier on my heart. =P Of course, make sure you don’t miss the Wave Pool as well – There are huge waves at interval, and you can float along while resting on giant floats.

And this is a must-try at the park! We had so much fun walking through this water obstacle course! You are safely secured with harness and you walk on narrow planks and cross from point to point while water splashes on you all the time! So much fun we went round many times!!! =D Joey could complete it all by herself with no problem but Jayne still needed someone to be with her at all times, as it can be quite scary when buckets of water splash down on your head! This must be our most favorite attraction in the park. :)
