Waterbom Bali Tickets – Single Day Pass

1.Waterbom Bali Tickets – Single Day Pass

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 620 reviews · from $33Our pick

Spend up to a full day at Waterbom Bali in Kuta with access to 26 slides, the Lazy River, children’s play areas, pools, gardens, and dining outlets. The $33.54 single-day pass is valid on your chosen date, with same-day reentry. Food, lockers, towels, gazebos, FlowRider, and spa services cost extra.

“This waterpark was so much fun. The best part is that it was quiet, so there were hardly any lines and for the rides that had lines, your only wait max 10 minutes. The place is cashless. So you get given a wristband and on that wrist band you need to put money at the front reception. Then you use that wristband throughout the park to pay for food, drinks, desserts ect. At the end of the day, what you have left on the wristband, they refund back to you. Lockers and towels you have to pay for. But overall amazing experience. Would definitely go back. Viator was also cheaper…”
