Tide Information...
Don't forget, you must be able to swim to participate.
We operate at beaches that are tidal so for 2 hours either side of low tide, the slides and blob are closed, this is a great time for younger kids to hit the park. For older and more confident swimmers, we recommend 2 hours either side of high tide. The depth where the parks are positioned will always be sufficient to operate during all tides. You can find tide tables for all areas at https://www.metservice.com or https://tides.niwa.co.nz
Minimum age is 5yrs.
All 5-9 years olds must be supervised by a paying and accompanied adult (18yrs+) at a ratio of 1 adult for 2 kids in this age group.
