Ocean Mania Waterpark Experience in Puerto Vallarta

Ocean Mania is a water park in Puerto Vallarta that you can only reach by speedboat. The operator calls it the most exhilarating water park in the city and says it blends extreme thrills with natural surroundings. The listing gives a duration of 300 minutes, and the format is quite different from a traditional water park.

The activities are the draw. The Thriller Jet Boat does 360-degree spins, and you can go parasailing above the ocean. The FlowRider lets you ride artificial waves, and the Spinner is a high-speed inflatable ride. The inclusions also list an ocean waterslide and zip-line, Step-Up and a speed boat ride.

There is a calmer side as well. The park offers nature-based experiences such as snorkeling and an interactive encounter with sea lions, which the listing lists as a marine life encounter. Lunch and soft drinks are included in the price.

This is a tour for people who want action, and it has strict rules. The listing asks for a high level of physical fitness. The minimum age is 9 for the RattleSnake waterslide, Step Up, Ocean Zipline, Banana Boat and FlowRider, and 15 for the Slide n'Fly waterslide and the Spinner. The minimum height is 4 ft (1.2 m) and the minimum weight 88 lbs (40 kg); the maximum weight is 260 lbs (118 kg). Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

People with heart disease or back or spine problems, along with expectant mothers, are restricted from the tour. Gratuities, the port fee for Ocean Mania Water Park and the access fee are not included, so add them to your budget. The listing gives no meeting point, so confirm it when you book.
