Ahoy Matey! Dare to walk the plank and take a plunge down the deepest, darkest black hole of Pirate’s Passage. Towering 5-stories in the coastal Georgia sky and magnifcent views of the surrounding marshlands, this high thrill inner tube ride is only for the bravest of pirates.

Specially designed for our smaller guests, the Kiddie Pool area provides hours of play with two kiddie slides, waterfalls and numerous water features. Complete with plenty of shade, a nearby snack kiosk and restroom facilities, you bring the children and we’ll bring the fun!

Whether spiralling down the thunderous 150 ft. fully enclosed twisting slide known as Thunder, or enduring the lightening speed of a 32 ft. plunge into total darkness known as Lightning, the choice is YOURS! For a slide the whole family will enjoy, grab a a double tube and float merrily along Flash Floods where “life is nothing but a dream!”
