First-ever water jump park in Asia
Doesn’t get any better than this! In a first, Hatta will be home to Asia’s first-ever water jump park. The water park has an insane set of jump slides, drop-in-doughnuts and drop-in tracks. Whereas, those afraid of the water jump park can opt for kayaking. Seems like a tsunami of adrenaline-filled experiences down there!
