Acqua Plus Water Park, Hersonissos, Greece Start your day with a pickup from your Crete hotel, then climb inside an air-conditioned coach and relax as you journey to Acqua Plus. Located 18.6 miles (30 km) from Heraklion, it was the very first water park in the Balkan region and boasts more than 50 different slides, games and facilities.
On arrival, pick up a map and plot your day. If you’ve come with children, maybe make your way to the section designed specifically for younger customers. Otherwise, head for the more extreme slides in the adult section.
As you walk around the park deciding what to do first, marvel at the incredible sight of slides peeking out under weeping willows, and soak up beautiful views of the island from the park’s vantage point atop a hill.
Choose to get off to a leisurely start with a float down the lazy river. As you drift along the waters, admire the beautiful flowers and palm trees that are dotted around the luscious grounds. Alternatively, head for the crazy river for a faster family-friendly cruise.
If you’re looking for thrills, make for the Tsunami. Hold on tight as your rubber ring teeters on the edge of the slide and then comes thundering down the long drop. Then, set your teeth on edge with a ride on the black hole slide. Be startled by beams of light and shocking sound effects as you come shooting down dark tunnels, and feel the wash of relief when you plunge into the pool for the final splashdown.
To keep your energy levels up throughout the day, visit the restaurant where you can purchase traditional Greek fare as well as burgers and fries (own expense). There’s also a cafe by the children’s playground and a hot dog stand. If you have upgraded to the all-inclusive experience, recharge with your included meal, drink and ice cream in the restaurant.
Later, perhaps find yourself an umbrella and a sun lounger so you can relax and dry off under the Cretan sun. Then, when the time comes, return to your coach for the journey back to your hotel.

Would not recommend this tour operator, the ticket stated a time of pick up which we were there for and they informed us that we missed the pick up time even though we were not informed of the time so how they expect us to know who knows. I requested a refund and this was agreed by Viator it would be done however a day later they told us no refund will be issued. Save your money, don't want this to happen to anyone else. We are now out of pocket because of this

Read many reviews ( bad and ok) and really I found the places excellent. Plenty of space, food area excellent and well organised, plenty of shelter, good mix of slides and a fabulous area for younger children. The one thing I would note is the ground was v slippy and I saw so many people fall at the bottom of the big slides. Signs up as warning but so v slippy. We really enjoyed the day and was clean and tidy. Not enough ring tho for the rides and many were loosing air. This should be easily rectified!

Everything wrong, do not go there.
1) No regular bus transportation from Hersonissos to the water park and back. Hence taxies are providing service with their (high) prices.
2) Opening hours stated in FAQ are 10.00 - to 19.00 in summer. Not true, being on place I realized it is 18.00, while water slides close at 17.30 on one side and the biggest at 17.00.
3)The slides are pretty old and worn out on spots.
4) On highest slide the limit for access is 1,25 m or more. Nobody measured my son's height but he was forbidden to access just because of his age 6 years.
5) Out of the total number of slides there are only 3 slides where you can go adult+kid together.
6) On mini-hydrotube, sort of kids tower, the acces is forbiden for adults to accompany his kid. Why?, the structure itself is strong enough.
7) Many games shown on webside, like playground, bouncy castle, some of slides, did not work.
