The Ultimate Insider's Guide to Universal Volcano Bay

by Leap on March 7, 2024 297 Orlando

Inside This Post Inside This Post

 

When you grow up in and around water, you get used to all of the fun things you can do in it —  splashing, diving, cannonballs, water balloons, water polo and so much more! Our Frog Family is at home in the water, so we think we're especially well-equipped to provide the lowdown on Universal Volcano Bay. This family guide has everything you need to know about the great waterslides, lazy rivers, the TapuTapu virtual queue, dining options and even a few FAQs — it's all here. So, let's hop to it!

Volcano Bay - Wave Village

Universal Volcano Bay Overview and Theming

Kia'Ora! Welcome.

We couldn't help but be drawn into the story behind this water theme park with a huge volcano at its center. It begins with the native islanders who discovered Volcano Bay, the Waturi. As the legend goes, the Waturi traveled the ocean, searching for the Kunuku. This mythical fish guided the Waturi to Volcano Bay. Upon finding this island paradise, the Waturi made it their home — adding in all kinds of slides and experiences that used and celebrated water.

Volcano Bay - Park

If the backstory is any indication, this isn't your typical water park. Universal calls Volcano Bay its "third gate," a water theme park. The powers that be have poured in the same level of detail, storytelling and immersion for Volcano Bay as they did with Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida. Universal wants you to feel as though you've just discovered this island paradise and won't ever want to leave. There are thoughtful details that transcend the typical water park experience.

Volcano Bay - Entrance

Families will especially appreciate the conveniences of family restrooms scattered around the park that include private, roll-in showers. There is also ample seating and umbrellas in the sand at most rides' ends, multiple bathrooms and multiple life jacket locations. These seemingly little details make for a much more relaxing theme and water park experience. There is also TapuTapu. This free, wearable device allows guests to virtually queue and more (but you do have to give it back before you leave!).

Universal Volcano Bay Parking and Transportation

Volcano Bay - Bus

Guests not staying at an official Universal hotel will park in the regular Universal Orlando Resort parking structure located at Universal CityWalk. While parking at Universal CityWalk is only free after 6 p.m., there are free shuttles from the Universal CityWalk parking garage to the Volcano Bay entrance. Resort hotel guests will have free bus transportation to Volcano Bay. Universal Orlando Resort hotel guests also have their own dedicated entrance to Volcano Bay at Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort and can walk from Universal Aventura Hotel. To access the dedicated entrance from Cabana Bay, you will need to show your room key. All guests will go through security.

Universal Volcano Bay Tickets and Resort Hotel Benefits

If you've got your swim trunks, we've got your discount tickets! Really. We're selling Universal Volcano Bay tickets along with Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. If you're not sure which ones to get, don't fret. We've put together a post on which Universal Orlando ticket is best for your family to take the guesswork out of your planning.

Volcano Bay - Cabana Bay

Aside from the amazing perk of being just a hop, skip and a jump away from the excitement, it makes a lot of sense to stay at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel. All resort hotel guests will receive Early Park Admission to Volcano Bay, which is half an hour early admission before the park opens for the day (which is normally either 9 or 10 a.m.). While guests staying at select Universal Orlando Resort hotels receive free Universal Express Unlimited passes for Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida, this benefit is not extended to Universal Volcano Bay.

If you want to stay at one of the hotels closest to Universal Volcano Bay, check out Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Universal Aventura Hotel or Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, although all of Universal's hotels are convenient distances from the parks and have free shuttles. You can opt to stay in one of the two towers at Cabana Bay, as they are closer to the water park. The Beachside Tower is the closest, and some of the rooms and family suites offer terrific views of the park. Speaking of family suites, these two towers have a limited number of two-bedroom, two-bathroom suites — perfect for the whole fam! (Save by booking your Universal Orlando hotel room with us!)

Universal Volcano Bay Rides and Entertainment

Krakatau Volcano

Volcano Bay - Waturi Beach

The centerpiece of Volcano Bay, Krakatau (kra-kuh-TAU), stands 200 feet above the park. It's the largest peak in Florida — when you climb all the way to the top, you may actually believe it! Frogs can joke too ;) Krakatau Volcano really is the most amazing element of the park. From the front, it is absolutely spectacular, with streaming waterfalls and a glimpse of the clear tube of its most death-defying slide, Ko'okiri Body Plunge. At night, it offers fiery lava effects.

Volcano Bay - Krakatau Aqua Coaster

The backside is open, with a series of stairs to its highest rides and a mass of tubes. The park's icon serves as the base for four different slides.

  • Krakatau Aqua Coaster: This first-of-its-kind-in-Florida family slide is the park's signature ride and a must-do! Krakatau Aqua Coaster will send your four-person canoe UPHILL and racing through dark twists and turns within the volcano. For a grand finale, you'll be sent plunging through a waterfall! This aqua coaster uses linear induction motor technology — magnets "pull" your canoe up the slide.

Volcano Bay - Krakatau Aqua Coaster

  • Ko'okiri Body Plunge: For those of you brave enough to take the plunge, you'll take a 70-degree fall through a drop door and down 125 feet of slide. Your reward will be sliding through a pool filled with guests!
  • Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides: Join Kala and Tai Nui, where sea and sky meet, and take a leap of faith from high atop the volcano. Twin drop doors simultaneously plunge two guests down clear, intertwining tubes before sending them joyfully splashing into the turquoise waters below.
  • Punga Racers: A favorite among Waturi children of all ages, Punga Racers send single riders down four lanes through underwater sea caves. The first racer to cross the finish line receives a watery salute from Punga himself.

Wave Village

Wave Village is located at the base of Krakatau Volcano.

Volcano Bay - Waturi Beach

  • Waturi Beach: This is a sparkling, multi-directional wave pool where guests can swim and relax on the sand. There is abundant seating on the beach, or you have the option to upgrade to premium seating (two padded loungers with a canopy, lockbox and food and drink attendant) or indulge in private, one- or two-story cabanas. Ready to conquer the waves? Just listen for the loud bell chimes.

Volcano Bay - The Reef Pool

  • The Reef: This adjacent leisure pool provides guests with calmer waters and exciting views of riders speeding through the clear tube of Ko’okiri Body Plunge.

Rainforest Village

Nestled along the shores of a river, Rainforest Village offers guests spots for relaxation and exhilaration.

  • Maku Puihi Round Raft Rides: North America’s first "saucer ride" sends multi-passenger rafts speeding around three saucer-shaped curves.

Volcano Bay - Drop Slides

  • Ohyah and Ohno Drop Slides: These two twisting slides launch guests from the tubes 4- and 6-feet above the water for an adrenaline-pumping plunge into this 10-foot deep pool. We really only recommend it for strong swimmers.
  • TeAwa The Fearless River: Strap on a life vest and let the waves take you away. This swift-moving river has multiple places to get on and off. For parents of younger tadpoles who don't want to participate, there is a fabulous beach with covered seating between Maku Puihi and the Taniwha Tubes.

Volcano Bay - Taniwha Tubes

  • Taniwha Tubes: These are four separate Easter Island-inspired slides with rafts for single or double riders.
  • Puka Uli Lagoon: This tranquil, zero-entry pool with a sandy beach is the perfect spot for the younger tadpoles to just chill out while the more fearless ones tackle Ohyah and Ohno right next to it.

River Village

The colorful River Village offers fun for all ages, including the very youngest tadpoles.

Volcano Bay - Kopiko Wai

  • Kopiko Wai Winding River: The picturesque lazy river passes through the volcano’s hidden caves, featuring spontaneous water effects and special nighttime lighting.
  • Tot Tiki Reef: This whimsical toddler play area has spraying Maori fountains, slides and a kid-size volcano.

Volcano Bay - Runamukka Reef

  • Runamukka Reef: Next to Tot Tiki Reef, this sprawling water play area is inspired by the coral reef. It is overflowing with twisting slides, sprinklers and more. For parents with younger tadpoles, this is probably the spot to rent a cabana (although there aren't many). Lily loves this area. We dare you to try to get your little one to leave!

Volcano Bay - Honu ika Moana

  • Honu ika Moana: It's one name, but two distinct multi-passenger raft slides. The daring among you will want to try Honu, with its two massive walls that make for some stomach-dropping moments. Ride the waves of ika Moana just like the ancient Waturi on this long, twisting journey.

Universal Volcano Bay TapuTapu Wearable

Volcano Bay - TapuTapu

Two common hassles found within water parks are carrying tubes and waiting in long lines —usually holding said tubes. Volcano Bay is trying to tackle those inconveniences by eliminating them. Its solution is TapuTapu — an interactive bracelet that you'll be given when you enter the park. TapuTapu is free and required to ride the slides. You'll give it back when you leave at the end of the day.

How does TapuTapu work on rides?

Volcano Bay - TapuTapu Light Up

When you arrive at a ride, you'll see the current wait time. If you want to "get in line," just touch your TapuTapu on the totem pole. Then, head to the wave pool or lazy river, or grab a cocktail and a bite to eat. Your TapuTapu will alert you when it's time to ride. You can only reserve one ride at a time. If you find a shorter wait time at another ride, you can reserve it instead, but you'll lose your other virtual spot in line. Look out for rides that say “Ride Now.” You can hop right onto those rides without losing your spot in a virtual line for another attraction.

What else does TapuTapu do?

Volcano Bay - Water Feature

TapuTapu lets guests unlock interactive features in the park — shooting water cannons on riders or revealing images inside Krakatau's hidden caves. You can use TapuTapu at special photo spots around the park to automatically link your photos to your My Universal Photos account.

Guests also have the option to add a credit card to their TapuTapu for the ultimate, hands-free park experience. (Universal calls this TapTu Pay.) It's not required, but you can use it to pay for your locker, souvenirs or merchandise, food and drinks. I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to store your wallet safely in the locker and not have to retrieve it each time you need to make a purchase!

How to set up TapTu Pay

You can do this any time, but we recommend you do it before you head to the park.

  1. Create a Universal Orlando account online or use the official app on your phone.
  2. Go to the Profile tab on the bottom and tap the Wallet icon.
  3. Enter your credit card information.
  4. Link your party's Universal Volcano Bay tickets. You can key the numbers in manually, but scanning the bar code is easiest. Don't worry! You can set spending limits for each party member.
  5. Create a PIN that your whole party will use for purchases.

If you set up an account, your card will be linked to your TapuTapu when you enter the park. At the end of the day, all of your personal information will be unlinked from it. If you happen to lose your TapuTapu, go to Guest Services. While you can have some peace of mind that someone would be unable to make purchases without your PIN number, a team member can take extra precautions and disconnect the lost wristband from your account.

Our Top Universal Volcano Bay Tips

Volcano Bay - Group of Friends

We've gathered our top tips and advice over the years that you can use to have a relaxing day at Volcano Bay!

  • Stay on-site at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel, preferably at Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort or Universal Aventura Hotel. While all Universal Orlando Resort hotel guests can use the official Volcano Bay dedicated entrance at Cabana Bay, it is easier to get to if you're staying at Cabana Bay. You have to show your room key. You also get half an hour early entry, which is the best way to experience the most popular Volcano Bay rides with the lowest waits of the day.
  • During peak season, it's not uncommon for Volcano Bay to reach capacity. When that hoppens, frogs with 1-Day Volcano Bay tickets are prioritized over multi-day ticket holders and will be guaranteed entry into the park for that day. Consult our Crowd Calendar to see when we expect the park is going to be the busiest!
  • On days when Seasonal Passholders are blocked out, consider purchasing a Volcano Bay Universal Express Pass to avoid waiting in long virtual lines — especially if you only have one day!
  • We really think the best way to experience Volcano Bay is to do it over a couple of days. Park hopping is easy at Universal with a multi-day Universal park-to-park ticket that includes Volcano Bay, especially if you're staying at a resort hotel and have older children. With longer summer hours, it's not a stretch to visit all three parks in one day. During a three-day visit, we'd plan for one dedicated day at Volcano Bay. We'd spend two days hopping between Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure, and then might hop over to the water park for a few hours in the evening.
  • Create your Universal account and connect your credit card if you're going to use the tap-to-pay functionality of TapuTapu before you get to the park. You'll find it super easy to eat, drink and be merry — and also to rent a locker — when your credit card is already tied to your account.
  • Arrive ahead of park opening, especially if you want to ride the rides. I cannot stress this enough. If the water rides, particularly the thrill rides, are a priority, then hit them first thing. We would ride Krakatau Aqua Coaster first, then ride Ko’kiri Body Plunge and Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides. Use your TapuTapu to join the virtual lines (in that order) if need be. Just don't tap into another virtual line while you're waiting in one!

Volcano Bay - Lockers

  • Have only one person go to the locker area. This is one of our theme park pet peeves. The entire family doesn't need to hover around the locker. Make it easier on everyone (yourself included) and designate one party member to manage the locker.
  • Pick a locker away from the entrance. If you want to avoid most of the congestion, keep walking once you enter the park to one of the further locker locations.
  • Pick your spot. If you aren't planning on renting premium seating or a cabana, there's another great benefit to arriving early — you can pick a prime spot with your chairs. Volcano Bay has great seating around the rides and attractions. If you have younger children, you might want to park it at the tadpole-friendly, smaller Puka Uli Lagoon pool. For older children or adults, you can't go wrong with Waturi Beach.
  • If a volcano view or getting a tan isn't a priority, park your party under one of the shaded structures. They keep you sheltered from bad weather, play relaxing island music and even have lights and fans. Best of all, they're free and don't require a reservation! You can find them scattered around the park but the most secluded ones are on the back-right corner of Waturi Beach (facing the entrance). The easiest way to get there is to pass through Waturi Marketplace and make your first right down toward the beach.

Volcano Bay - Shaded Seating

  • Plan on a hike to Ko’okiri Body Plunge and the Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides. These three rides are at the very top of the 200-foot Krakatau Volcano. I didn't count my hops, but it feels like it's at least double the number of steps of the other park rides. It's a shame TapuTapu won't count your steps!
  • Beware if you have a fear of heights AND claustrophobia. We mentioned the height, but those of you with a fear of confined spaces may want to skip the capsule drop slides with trapdoors (and there are clear panes so you can see what's below)!
  • Make sure you've got strong swimmers if you plan to do the Ohno and Ohyah drop slides. These two body slides plunge into a 10-foot-deep pool!
  • Volcano Bay does not provide any free towels, so be sure to bring your own if you do not want to rent them (it costs $7).

Volcano Bay - Flip Flop Racks

  • We suggest walking around with your flip-flops on because the sidewalks can get quite hot! At the entrance of the waterslides, there is a place to put your shoes, hats, sunglasses or other belongings while you ride. That being said, there are plenty of sprinklers constantly squirting along the walkways to cool down hot feet or just to help get the sand off.

Universal Volcano Bay Restaurants and Dining

Volcano Bay - Kohola Reef

The Waturi people must have really enjoyed the cuisine of the many islands they visited before landing at Volcano Bay! Their culinary discoveries serve as the inspiration for the tempting food and beverages available in the park. There are several locations serving island-inspired meals for the entire family. There is the usual theme park food fare, but there are also more unique options. Mobile ordering is also available at certain dining locations through the official Universal Orlando Resort app.

  • Kohola Reef Restaurant & Social Club: Located at the base of Krakatau volcano and closest to the entrance of the park, this restaurant serves fresh island favorites, including tangy Mango BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Island Bacon Cheeseburgers or crunchy Coconut Crusted Fried Chicken. If you have froggies in your party with dietary issues, we recommend dining here for its impressive variety.
  • Dancing Dragons Boat Bar: Shaped as an ancient outrigger canoe, this bar will refresh you with tropical cocktails and frozen drinks. Sit a spell and take in the volcano views. We highly recommend Vol's Fire Punch — a heady concoction featuring Mt. Gay Rum, fresh pineapple juice, agave, Sprite and grenadine.
  • Bambu: This shaded hideaway on the backside of the park offers quick and easy eats such as the Bambu Burger, Mahi Sandwich, Island Chicken Salad and the mouthwatering Chocolate Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Be aware that this dining location is closed Mondays through Fridays.

Volcano Bay - Whakawaiwai Eats

  • Whakawaiwai Eats: Munch on dishes such as Island BBQ Chicken Pizza, Tropical Baby Greens and Pretzel Dogs. This is also where you can find the hearty Jerk Shrimp Mac & Cheese. We like the shaded seating across the way that looks out to the backside of Runamukka Reef.
  • Kunuku Boat Bar: Also on the backside of the park, this is your stop for frozen drinks, specialty cocktails, fountain sodas and draft beers. It's named after the mythical fish that guided the Waturi islanders to Volcano Bay.
  • The Feasting Frog: This snack shop — SHAPED LIKE A TROPICAL FROG — serves drinks and snacks such as the Poke Poke Bowl, Carne Asada Taco or Loaded Nachos.

Volcano Bay - Waturi Fusion

  • Koka Poroka Ice Cream: Along with traditional chocolate and vanilla soft serve, it's here that you'll find the famous Waturi Fusion, an Insta-worthy combination of banana, blue raspberry, orange and strawberry soft serve that you can purchase in a cup or cone.
  • Volcano Bay Pavilion Kiosk: This kiosk right next to Dancing Dragons Boat Bar serves up healthy snacks such as wraps, California rolls and fruit salad. Be aware that this pavilion is only open seasonally.

Universal Volcano Bay Cabanas, Premium Seating, Universal Express & More

Volcano Bay - Premium Seating

Premium Seating and Cabanas

For those of us more into shaded lounging than swimming, Volcano Bay has upgrades that offer more convenience and relaxation.

There is premium seating near the regular seating at the rides, lazy river and wave pool beaches. Premium seating includes a pair of padded loungers with an adjustable shade canopy and a built-in storage lockbox. You can enjoy the services of an area attendant who'll see to your food and drink orders. "We'll have another round of Vol's Fire Punch, please! Mommy Frog has found her happy place." They can also book your TapuTapu times without you having to reserve the rides. The pricing for Volcano Bay premium seating fluctuates depending on the season. Call 1-877-489-8068 for reservations.

Go cabana or go home. Around the park, you can choose from one- or two-story cabanas that come with padded lounge chairs, a small refrigerator stocked with bottled water, a complimentary fruit and snack basket, towel and locker service, plus concierge service with an exclusive food and drink menu delivered directly to the cabana and TapuTapu ride booking. Prices fluctuate depending on the season for single cabana units, which hold up to six people. They are available as upper-level cabanas with great views, ground-level cabanas for easy access or stand-alone cabanas with more privacy. Family suite cabanas, which hold up to 16 people, are large, private stand-alone cabanas. Call 1-877-801-9720 for pricing and reservations.

Volcano Bay Cabanas

If you have tadpoles, you may want to consider the cabanas near Runamukka Reef or Puka Uli Lagoon. If you want a prime spot near Waturi Beach for all-day waves, we like the cabanas closest to the Waturi Marketplace.

Volcano Bay Universal Express 

Water park visitors also have the option of purchasing Universal Express, which will be added to your TapuTapu. With the Express ticket, you can skip the virtual line at select attractions. You'll be directed to proceed to the boarding area rather than be given a return time.

There are two different Express pass options: the regular pass and the PLUS pass. The regular pass excludes Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides, Ko'okiri Body Plunge and the Ohyah & Ohno Drop Slides while the PLUS pass includes them. Only spring for the PLUS if you're a hardcore thrill-seeker and absolutely see yourself conquering these beasts!

Volcano Bay - Wave Village Lockers

Lockers

Continuing in the quest to improve the water park experience, Universal is making it easier to store and get to your stuff. Lockers are located in different areas around the park, so you never have to be too far away. Mini lockers (17.72 in. by 14.11 in. by 5.52 in.) are $14, regular lockers (16.9 in. by 12 in. by 13 in) are $20 and family lockers (16.9 in. by 12 in. by 16.25 in.) are $25.

Shopping

Volcano Bay - Store

Two shops in the Wave Village offer sunscreen, swimsuits, hats, sunglasses, swim diapers and cool Universal Volcano Bay merch, Krakatoa Katy's and Waturi Marketplace.

Universal Volcano Bay FAQs

Volcano Bay - Spitting Heads

What are the Volcano Bay ride height and weight restrictions?

Height restrictions vary for each attraction, but here are the basics:

  • If you are over 48 inches tall, then you can go on everything, except the kiddie areas.
  • Some slides require those between 42 inches and 48 inches tall to ride with a supervising companion.
  • The Kopiko Wai Winding River, pools and beaches have no height restrictions, but tadpoles between 42 inches to 48 inches (107 cm to 122 cm) must wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life vest.

As for Volcano Bay weight restrictions, some rides — including the multiple-rider raft rides — have a weight limit. Most notably, Punga Racers has a 300-pound maximum limit. When you arrive at the top of the ride, a team member will have your party step into a square that discreetly weighs your group.

You can see height restrictions, plus a ton more information about each ride on our Universal Volcano Bay rides page.

What are the Volcano Bay multiple-rider rides?

Volcano Bay - Honu

  • Ika Moana: 2-5 riders
  • Honu: 2-5 riders
  • Krakatoa: 1-4 riders
  • Maku Puihi: 2-6 riders
  • Taniwha Tubes: 1-2 riders

What are the depths of the pools and slides?

Depths vary according to attractions. Riders should assess their own ability to swim prior to boarding any slide or attraction. Riders can also review warning signs posted at the entrance to each ride prior to making a decision to ride. Strong swimming ability is required at both Ohyah and Ohno Drop Slides (pool depth is 10 feet), as well as the TeAwa Fearless River, which requires life jackets.

Is Volcano Bay accessible for guests with disabilities? 

Wheelchair accessibility is available at Maku and Puihi Round Raft Rides, as well as Krakatau Aqua Coaster via elevator access. Guests using wheelchairs may also transfer from their wheelchair to Kopiko Wai Winding River, TeAwa Fearless River, Puka Uli Leisure Pool, The Reef Leisure Pool and Waturi Beach Wave Pool. Guests must meet all ridership requirements, which means maintaining a proper riding experience throughout the attraction experience (here is more accessibility information from Universal's site).

Are there showers at Volcano Bay?

Universal Volcano Bay - Family Restrooms

Guests will find restrooms, showers and lockers scattered around the park for their convenience. Additionally, there are family restrooms around the park that offer more privacy, roll-in access and a shower.

Can I wear shoes on the slides? 

Flip-flops, sandals and water shoes are allowed on some of the slides. Footwear of any kind is not permitted on Kala and Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides, Punga Racers, Runamukka Reef and Ko'okiri Body Plunge. Slides that do not allow shoes have places to store them near the ride's entrance before you head up to the slide.

Are GoPros allowed on the rides? 

No. Unfortunately, Tad has not been able to bring his GoPro onto the rides since the park's opening. However, GoPros are allowed in the wave pool and the lazy rivers.

Is Universal Volcano Bay open year-round?

Typically, yes! You can experience it during the hot summer months and the cool winter days. Virtually all of the pools and Orlando water parks are heated during cooler times. Occasionally, the Orlando water parks close because of exceptionally cold days in the winter months, but they are few and far between.

Volcano Bay - Family at Beach Chairs

Should I see Volcano Bay over another Orlando area water park?

If you're already planning a trip to Universal Orlando, we think it's definitely worth adding an additional day to experience Volcano Bay. It's also easy to add a few hours here or there to your existing trip with the park-to-park tickets.

Thanks for the tips! For the virtual queue, does each person in your party have to reserve on the tapu tapu? So, if there’s 5 of us do we all need to join the queue or can 1 of us join for the group?

There are life vests in different sizes for TeAwa the Fearless River, but not different-sized tubes. Some rides do have weight limitations, which can be found in this Rider Safety guide or on the signs posted at the entrance of each ride.

They did on a pre-pandemic visit but wondered if it’s changed.

Many thanks

Wow! We have been to Universal before, but never Volcano Bay. I love to overthink everything and prepare for any and every adventure. Having said that, I’ve been scouring the web looking for information and I must say your post is packed with more information and tips than any other (and I’ve read A LOT). Thanks so much for sharing!

I have extensive food allergies. We usually pack a picnic lunch and keep it in the car, go out to the car and eat our lunch and go back in. Do you think that is feasible for Volcano Bay or is the parking too far away?

Reply

Hi Amanda!

It could be possible! It would take more effort to go back and forth as you would need to wait for and take the shuttle back to the garage, but it's no more than a 5-minute ride. You would also need to go through security again at the garage before you get back on the shuttle.

Hello. Two questions.

1). We are interested in getting the photo package at Volcano Bay. We have a family of 4. Does everyone in party need to purchase the photo package or can we just purchase one photo package and link it to one card?

2). Can we decide to purchase the photo package when we are at the park after looking at the pictures to see if we like them or not? Will the price be the same as what's advertised online?

3). Will the premium seating come with early entrance to the park?

Thank you.

Reply
Mar 28, 2022 at 2:48 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Jin!

1) The photo package comes with unlimited digital downloads and the ability to view and share photos with the Amazing Pictures mobile app, so you only need one package for the entire family.

2) You save $10 off the in-park price when you purchase online in advance.

3) Early park admission is provided with the purchase of premium seating.

Hi Amir!

There are three different sizes of lockers: mini, regular and family. It could depend on how much stuff you put in your backpacks. If they're completely full, then you may have trouble fitting both in one family locker.

A very helpful guide to Volcano Bay (and we had a blast!). But one correction: Britton Hill (at 344') is the highest peak in FL. And even in the vicinity of Orlando there is nearby Sugarloaf Mountain (at 312'). I thought you might want to correct that info for the benefit of the hikers and hill-climbers in your readers. Thank you!

Hi Julie!

There are some rides that she won't be able to go on, which are listed in Volcano Bay's Guide for Rider Safety and Accessibility (page 9), but otherwise, casts must fit comfortably and not interfere with proper functioning of the ride experience.

Hi Silvio,

For tour buses, you can drop off guests at the CityWalk bus loop beside the transportation hub. To get to Volcano Bay, they will need to go up the escalator from the ground level and head back into the parking garage (they can follow directional signs to get to the Volcano Bay shuttle area).

Hi Alice,

In past years, Volcano Bay has been open year-round. However, during last year due to the pandemic, it closed for the winter season from November to the end of February. At this time, we're not sure if this seasonal closure will become a permanent part of the park's schedule, or if it will continue to operate year-round. But we'll update this post if we hear anything!

I had a question about something. I'm seeing that you can't be over 150 pounds (kind of discriminatory if you ask me) to go on Punga Racers, however when you go on the Volcano Bay section of UO website, it lists the maximum weight as being 300 pounds. Have they changed it due to people complaining about it or is the VB website intentionally misleading?

Reply
Aug 13, 2020 at 12:23 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Rachel!

The weight limit recently changed due to a refurbishment to the attraction. The current weight limit for Punga Racers is 300 pounds. We've updated our guide accordingly - hope this helps!

My daughter has an annual pass and we believe she can get in after 4:00 during July. Does Volcano Bay reach capacity often, is there a good chance she'll be able to get in.

Reply
Jun 29, 2020 at 5:04 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Mrs. Kimbo!

It depends on her pass level. 3-Park Seasonal Pass is still blocked out for July, but yes, the 3-Park Power and Preferred Passes blockout only applies before 4 p.m. in July. Keep in mind that the park hours in July are 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Mon. - Thurs.) and 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. (Fri. - Sun.). We’ve only seen Volcano Bay reach capacity since Universal’s reopening, and it's more likely to reach it over the weekends. Reaching full capacity can fluctuate and is fluid, meaning if enough people leave, they would reopen the park to other guests. You can check park status at any time in the app. Hope this helps!

Most of the slides available include partially enclosed tubes, though your tadpole can still enjoy the lazy river and wave pool. Likewise, the raft slides are enclosed but a bit wider. We'd suggest watching some YouTube videos together so that she can see what it's like ahead of time, and can decide from there.

Thank you so much for this informative article. I just had 2 quick questions. We are staying at Royal Pacific and wanted to walk to Volcano Bay. I believe that Cabana Bay and Adventura have a seperate volcano bay entrance that we can use as well. We will have our Royal Pacific room key to show if needed. What entrance should we use walking from Royal Pacific? Also, if we went to Volcano Bay in the morning and rented a locker, then left VB for a few hours and returned later, do they provide a voucher so you don't have to pay twice in one day for a locker rental? Thinking not as you hand in the wristband?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hi Mike!

1) Cabana Bay does have a separate entrance that you can walk to. Other hotel guests can use it (w/room key), but we've often been advised taking the bus to the main entrance is the fastest route. Others in the frog pond may be able to weigh in on what that walk is like!

2) Locker rentals are connected to your account. Before you leave, let a locker attendant know that you’re coming back and they can provide further instructions (but no, you do not need to pay twice for an all-day locker!)

Schlitterbahn has been doing the water coaster for more than 20 years and their designs are SIGNIFICANTLY more fun than Krakatau. The linear induction adds absolutely nothing to the ride and every single water-jet-assisted water coaster I've been on blew Krakatau out of the water.

So, we took advantage of some of your tips from Volcano Bay. I wanted to give you my own review of Volcano Bay, using many of your tips in your blog. My family Includes me, my husband, and two boys ages nine and thirteen.

In my opinion Vilcano Bay was definitely the smoothest and most organized park at Universal. Universal, please take note! First, the Tapu Tapu was awesome! It kept the lines moving efficiently. We like to sleep in a little while on vacation, so we didn’t get there till almost 11:00 AM. My second point is that we did not experience the crowds we expected, and there was still plenty of time to do all of the group rides. We did all the group rides at least once, and some twice. We only did the group ones, however we counted nine times where we actually rode a slide. This did not include the Lazy River and Fearless River , which we rode twice. We took advantage of our waiting periods to enjoy those activities. That being said, I would say this was a surprisingly productive and full day at a water park.

We had a late breakfast before we headed to the park. Therefore our plan for a late lunch worked. We were too busy riding to worry about lunch till we were done. You could pack snacks, but we did not, and our boys were fine. These are two boys that love to eat, and feel the need to snack when bored. They were too busy riding slides to notice. After we finished riding, then we ate a wonderful lunch with our quick service dining plan. I was pleasantly surprised that the quick service food offered had generous portions an assortment of choices and was tasty! You were so right! I don’t think you can go wrong eating at any of these restaurants.

We stayed at Cabanna Bay so the walk was quite short. It was such a short walk that there was no need to dry and change. We did rent a locker. Like you said, renting a locker is a great tip! Another important thing to remember is to bring towels from your hotel. Otherwise you will have to pay for them.

Now, we also had an express pass for all 3 parks! You were right. This is an important must for not only Volcano Bay, but also all the other parks as well. We were only had three days to do all three parks. It was also our first time to go, so we wanted to get as much done as we could. The express pass is well worth the money.

As you said , You don’t have to be an expert swimmer. However, the Fearless River is titled correctly. I would suggest keeping your children with you, or keeping them very close.

I also purchased the photo package, so I got all the ride photos. The freedom to not have to pack my phone was amazing! However, I do wish they had photographers stationed around the park to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. Please take note. It is a must to stop in at the photography shop to get your Tapu Tapu linked to your photo package. After this quick stop, it was a breeze!

The only other things that would be nice features for the Tapu Tapu to have would be the actual time of day, and a way to link the dining plan to it. The day we went, we had no trouble finding chairs to lay our shoes and towels on. Everyone there seems to be very respectful of your space, even when you are not there. We set up in a central location, but didn’t go back very much at all! Now this plan is for those who like to be one and done!

We stayed a total of about five hours. This included entering, doing all the things to set up the day while we were there, and finally eating. I felt that 9 rides plus the We were tired at the end, but we all agreed the park was a lot of fun! There were a lot of group rides for our family to connect and have fun together. The group rides were plenty enough adventurous for us. I have to give a big shout out to the staff at Volcano Bay, our hotel and all the parks for being so knowlegable, and friendly. In my opponion their attitudes made my vacation great!

A big shout out to you for all the tips in your blog. They were invaluable! I am sure you have much more helpful information to share.

Sincerely,

ShayJay
