You’ll find yourself in awe of the world’s largest open-air marine habitat and home to over 50,000 sea animals. Then there’s the water park, which is not your average Bahamas vacation water park. At Predator Tunnel, you stroll through a walkway gaping at sharks above and below you. Kids arrive at Aquaventure, never to be seen again until darkness descends on the island. Simply grab a water tube and ride to your merry delight on the countless slides, tunnels and rapids.
Like the name implies, Leap of Faith is a 60-foot drop from a make-believe Mayan Temple through a glass enclosed pool of sharks (don’t worry; they’re on one side, your kids on the other). The Dig is an underwater maze that leads to an equally big aquarium. For the little tykes who don’t yet like to go eyeball-to-eyeball with Jaws, there are those old-fashioned things called pools. Atlantis has also recently added the Dolphin Cay, where folks can pet and feed Flipper for an additional price.
