There are plenty of couples out there who love a spot of adventure and romance. And if you and your partner fall into the same category, there is plenty of romantic adventures available at the Desaru Coast Adventure Park. Do read on for the best suggestions.
Desaru Coast is a favourite honeymoon getaway. It's one of Malaysia's best-kept secrets and is famous for its collection of luxury resorts. And couples, especially, find a holiday on the coast one to cherish. Amongst the top Desaru attractions is the waterpark. And many resorts in Desaru like Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas offer excursions to the playground. The park offers attractions to suit every age. And since this article is exploring the most romantic adventures on offer at the Desaru waterpark, the first suggestion is to learn to surf together. Do so at Tidal Wave Beach, which is a three-acre area of over 4 million gallons of water. This is one of the world's largest wave pools. There you can both enjoy the fun of learning to surf hand in hand.
After an invigorating session of learning to surf, falling off your boards and finally mastering the art of balancing, you both deserve a break. Do so at the Beachside Cabanas. Facing a 170-metre long beach, these private cabanas let you chill, enjoy a drink, and grab a bite to eat – all while savouring tropical vibes and being lazy together.
Kraken's Revenge is kind of a legend at Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark. It's an innovative type of rollercoaster ride, which is a hybrid flume cum water-coaster. And it's got a terrifying 360-degree loop and plunges 27 metres down to the pool below. Oh, and before that, the rollercoaster will clock up speeds of around 70km/h; so, hang on to your love and get ready for the ride of a lifetime. For a milder version of Kraken's Revenge, you can check out The Tempest or the Swinging Ship, both offering an adrenaline-pumping ride, with less nail-biting excitement.
This waterpark is pretty proud of its line-up of eateries. Choose from a range of food types to find exactly what you both like because the park boasts a wide variety of cuisine types. Head over to The Kelong Eatery; there, you can savour international and local favourites. Popular dishes include nasi lemak as well as chicken chops and lamb shanks. If fast food is a favourite, the River Grill is perfect while the Surfs Up Juice Bar is a lovely spot to chill at, featuring a swim-up bar for cooling down and enjoying the tropical vibes.
Making its way amid lush tropical foliage is the Penawar River. And at 350 metres, it boasts a long, looping lazy river, in which you can embark on a relaxed and romantic ride with your special someone – with amazing riverside views.
Plan to spend a fun day outdoors exploring the many thrills of Desaru Coast Waterpark and it will be one of the most romantic and exciting dates you ever go on!
