Turned up just after 10am to the Big Bula Water Park and not many rides had water so we were puzzled. Nothing was said at the cashier about any problems and they sold us our tickets for a family of 4 over $300 NZD. Two of our family are over the 85kg weight limit for the inflatables so we knew we were really there just for the big slides. Nope - we couldn't go on anything as the pumps weren't working. We waited 1.5 hours to see if anything got going and in the meantime more families were coming in to watch the empty slides. Our two lighter family members were able to use the inflatables BUT only 3 out of 10 or so had water so again that was an issue. Not much value for over $300 NZ. We do think that had everything been working we would have had a fun day. I read the other reviews and from experience inflatables in humidity have black marks and mould...nothing new. If this is something your fussy about stay away. The park was great and gave refunds for those who requested it. Post covid I think we can all comprehend how hard the tourist industry has been hit and to refund money must have been gutting. Still workers to pay etc Anyway - we will give it another try on another trip. I can se ehow this could be a great day with the kids and the pump issues today just were unlucky.

We weren't sure about going here, we had read some less than favorable reviews, but decided to go one hot morning, and sure it's no Wet and Wild but we have 3 teenagers (18, 16, 13) and we had lots of fun. The inflatables aren't fantastic, and are boiling in the sun, but the general waterslides give you the rush that you would expect and it was a fun morning. Needs a bit of upkeep and love and is certainly on the pricey side but otherwise pretty good. You only need a couple hours here.

Beautiful water park with lots of blow up water bouncing castles for the kids (adults under 85kg). The 5 water slides were great! Lots of fun!! My only concern was the price….seemed very expensive for the experience. However, at the end of the day we made some wonderful memories and we had a great time!
