Adventure Cove Waterpark is Resorts World Sentosa’s water fun playground. It holds 14 rides and attractions and has remained one of the top 10 water parks in Asia on TripAdvisor two years in a row.
For first time visitors to or those unfamiliar with the park, here’s a guide to make your trip to Adventure Cove Waterpark the best it can be.
Before your trip
Types of tickets and where to get them
One-day ticket
Entrance ticket for the Park. Usual price is S$38 for Adults and S$30 for Child(4 to 12 years old) and Seniors (60 years old and above. You can find promotions online.
Adventure Express
Allows you to use a separate (shorter) queue for two attractions: Rainbow Reef and Riptide Rocket. These aren’t entrance tickets.
Price starts from S$10 and can be used only once at each participating attraction.
Packing clothes for the visit
You are expected to be dressed for the water, so swimwear, board shorts and tee shirts are perfectly okay.
However, no jeans, jackets, long skirts, clothes with buttons, zippers and buckles allowed. And certainly no stripping down to undergarments.
If you somehow made your way to the water park and didn’t bring suitable clothes even with this guide, there’s the Reef ‘n Wave Wear retail right at the entrance to grab some gears.
What you don’t need to prepare
- Cabana for a private space to rest and leave your belongings
- Lockers to keep your items safe
- Drinking water at water fountains around the park
- Flotation devices: Life jackets for the Park and tubes for Adventure River
- Snorkel gear for Rainbow Reef
- Restaurants and food carts (Outside food and drinks are not allowed in the Waterpark.)
- Reef ‘n Wave Wear store for swimwear and more
- WiFi access

Recommendations
Must-ride for thrill seekers
1. Riptide Rocket
This is Southeast Asia’s first hydro-magnetic coaster. You’ll experience multiple climbs, intense drops and speeds that (while not as fast as a ‘normal roller coaster’) will leave you squealing with excitement. Rides two so best experienced with a friend.
2. Pipeline Plunge and Tidal Twister
Both rides share the same platform. Grab a float and follow the queue indicators marked on the platform floor.
On the Pipeline Plunge, you’ll fall through darkness at high speed, with plenty of twists and turns. Rides two so best experienced with a friend.
On the Tidal Twister, you’ll drop at a moderate pace but it can feel never-ending at times. (The queue for this ride tends be longer because of the length of the ride.) Rides two so best experienced with a friend.
3. Spiral Washout and Whirlpool Washout
Both rides share the same platform. Grab a float and follow the queue indicators on the platform floor.
On the Spiral Washout, you’ll drop down a funnel at a great speed, go through a dark tunnel with twists and turns before you escape with a splash into the exit pool.
The Whirlpool Washout is the more relaxed of the two rides. But watch out for one thrilling part of the ride, you’ll be spinning in a “whirlpool” into what seems like an impossibly small entrance.
4. Splashworks
If you have great arm strength, the obstacle course will provide a great work out. You can walk the balance beam, cross the tight rope and jump off a platform to make a big splash.
Attractions for the “chill” seekers
1. Adventure River
Grab a tube or life vest and float along leisurely on the Adventure River.
You’ll see interesting sights such as the Grotto, the Squid Bridge, the panels looking straight into Ray Bay and more. A favourite for families with kids.
2. Bluwater Bay
Get wet or stay dry. It’s up to you!
In the water, you’ll be buoyed by the gigantic waves every 15 minutes. (Wear a life vest so you can float on top of the wave.)
By the bay, lie on the lounge and catch some rays.
3. Rainbow Reef
Snorkel with 20,000 colourful tropical fish swimming right by you.
