Maxima AquaFun

If you are looking for something more than just swim in the beach or lie around all day long, a trip to Maxima AquaFun in Samal Island is your best getaway! The place isn’t just for those who love the sun, sand and sea but also those who love adrenaline and extreme adventures.

Maxima AquaFun looks very much like a resort floating on the sea and if that is not enough to entice you then I don’t know what else will. There’s a 40-meter super slide (made from tarpaulin) that bring you from the top of a hill down to the 120-feet sea. There’s also the water blob, which is pretty much like a trampoline, only that the other person on one end of the inflatable will launch into the water when another person jumps on the other side of it. Of course, they also offer classic water activities such as the banana boat riding, kayaking, snorkeling and jet skiing and diving.
