Description:
Port Aventura is a vast Disney-like amusement park, run by Universal just an hour out of Barcelona. It has an entire section of the park designated as 'Polynesia - the South Seas Paradise'. There are rides, shows, places to eat, and Tiki gardens just to walk around.
Features include:
Kon-Tiki Wave - one of those classic boat rides that have a progressive pendular motion, reaching 180 degrees each way but in a mock-up of the Kon-Tiki
Loco Loco Tiki - A mad ride galloping around the park to the sound of tropical drums
Tami-Tami - a Tiki rollercoaster
TuTuki Splash - A waterslide down a volcano meeting natives celebrating Pele at the bottom
Aloha Tahiti - Spectacular dance show in front of giant Tikis
Bars and restaurants include the Bambu, the Bora Bora, the Captain's Refuge, King Komehamba, and the Tropical.
Finally there's the Makamanu Gardens, a Tiki paradise filled with exotic birds, plants, and Tiki statues.
