Know Before You

Helpful Tips To Know Before You Go To Universal's Volcano Bay™

Planning to visit Volcano Bay in the near future? Here are some helpful tips and information to help you get the most of your time as you explore this all-new water theme park.

Hop or Skip to Volcano Bay™ by Staying On-Site

Complimentary shuttle buses whisk you from Universal Orlando's on-site hotels right to the park. Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort even has a convenient walking path to Volcano Bay. On-site hotel guests also enjoy early park admission (restrictions apply).

The Early Bird Gets The Best Beach Chair

Get to the park early and you'll not only be able to claim your pick of prime beach locations as your home base for the day, but you'll also get a head start on the rides and attractions.

Head Towards The Back

When you arrive grab a spot at the back of the park and get a ride time at one of those attractions first. You'll find water slides, lockers, food, etc. in every area of the park. It's a great way to avoid the crowds who linger near the front of the park in the morning.

Items For Rent at Volcano Bay™

Rental lockers are located throughout the park (three different sizes available) and you can link up to four TapuTapu wearables so the whole family has access. Lockers can be rented using cash or credit card. You can even rent towels if you've forgotten to bring your own.

Turn Your TapuTapu™ Into Your Wallet

You can link your TapuTapu wearable to a credit card so you can TapTu Pay™ for merchandise, food and drinks in the park (excluding locker purchases). Link your entire party's tickets to your account so they all have TapTu Pay access with their TapuTapu wearables. Your TapuTapu unlinks from your account when you turn it in as you leave the park.

Things To Do While in the Virtual Line™

The great thing about the Virtual Line™ is all the ways you can have fun while waiting for your ride time. You can drift along the Kopiko Wai Winding River™, bob in the waves of Waturi Beach, play in the Runamukka Reef™ kids area, ride the torrents of TeAwa the Fearless River™, grab a bite to eat or just kick back and chill out – none of which require securing a ride time.

You Don’t Have to Ride Right Away

Once your TapuTapu™ wearable alerts you it's time to ride you can head to the attraction at your leisure. So if you're relaxing on your lounge chair or midway through a meal you don’t have to stop what you're doing to rush to your ride.

Keep a Lookout for "Ride Now!"

As you're exploring the park keep an eye out for slides whose entrance signage reads "Ride Now!" You'll be able to jump right onto those rides without losing your place in the Virtual Line™ for another attraction.

Eat Earlier or Later Than Everyone Else

For the most relaxing dining experience plan your lunch before or after the hours of noon – 2:00 pm when the eateries are at their busiest. When you do decide it’s time to eat you'll find four dining locations and two bars conveniently located throughout the park.

Ride Out the Rain

Florida showers can come and go quickly. So instead of leaving the park when rain clouds roll in, take the opportunity to eat or shop while others head out – then take advantage of shorter attraction wait times when the sun comes out.
