What you'll see and do
Acqua Plus Water Park
Start your day with a pickup from your Crete hotel, then climb inside an air-conditioned coach and relax as you journey to Acqua Plus. Located 18.6 miles (30 km) from Heraklion, it was the very first water park in the Balkan region and boasts more than 50 different slides, games and facilities. On arrival, pick up a map and plot your day. If you’ve come with children, maybe make your way to the section designed specifically for younger customers. Otherwise, head for the more extreme slides in the adult section. As you walk around the park deciding what to do first, marvel at the incredible sight of slides peeking out under weeping willows, and soak up beautiful views of the island from the park’s vantage point atop a hill. Choose to get off to a leisurely start with a float down the lazy river. As you drift along the waters, admire the beautiful flowers and palm trees that are dotted around the luscious grounds. Alternatively, head for the crazy river for a faster family-friendly cruise. If you’re looking for thrills, make for the Tsunami. Hold on tight as your rubber ring teeters on the edge of the slide and then comes thundering down the long drop. Then, set your teeth on edge with a ride on the black hole slide. Be startled by beams of light and shocking sound effects as you come shooting down dark tunnels, and feel the wash of relief when you plunge into the pool for the final splashdown. To keep your energy levels up throughout the day, visit the restaurant where you can purchase traditional Greek fare as well as burgers and fries (own expense). There’s also a cafe by the children’s playground and a hot dog stand. If you have upgraded to the all-inclusive experience, recharge with your included meal, drink and ice cream in the restaurant. Later, perhaps find yourself an umbrella and a sun lounger so you can relax and dry off under the Cretan sun. Then, when the time comes, return to your coach for the journey back to your hotel. Please note: Acqua Plus Water Park is open between May and September only. Exact dates dependent on weather conditions.

Decent.
Decent. Pick up point was a 2min walk for us. Driver was on time and gave us plenty of time in the park. You dont pay for food and drink as you get it. You Get your wrist band scanned and pay on way out. Which worked fine and prices inside were fair. Don't lose it as you'd be charged €100. Plenty there for everyone. If you want to just lay in the sun while kids play, you can and sunbeds were free with our vendor. Olympic sized pool if you want to simply swim, and loads of slides for people wanting a rush. The official photographer there was a good set up. They will get photos of you on everything you do, without getting in your face and hounding you to buy them on the way out, like most water parks. You simply go in a little hut on the way out (if you want) and scroll the laptops for any photo you want. You could also have fridge magnets, keyring etc. All in all a decent day out.
Response from the operator: Dear Eddie, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're happy to hear you had a fun day at the water park and that there was something for everyone, whether relaxing by the pool or enjoying the slides. It's also great to know that you found the food and drinks reasonably priced and that the overall setup worked well for your family. It sounds like you made the most of the day, and that's exactly what a water park visit should be all about!

Great excursion for children but also for adults
A somewhat old slide park, but it was still a lot of fun! A little more time there would have been nicer.

Run down - but ok
A dated water park - not what the poster looked like . Kids enjoyed a few slides but were done after an hour. Expensive day out for a family with added food. There are activities that cost extra which seemed very unfair when there is not much there . Staff were nice.
Response from the operator: Dear Kat, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the water park didn't quite match what you expected from the promotional material. While Cretan Holidays is not the operator of the park, we understand how important it is for families to feel the experience is worth the time and cost. That said, we're glad your children enjoyed the slides, even briefly, and we truly appreciate your kind words about the staff. It’s always nice to know they made a good impression. We’d love to welcome you again soon on another Cretan Holidays excursion, perhaps one that better reflects the kind of day you’re looking for.

Don't waste your money
Would not recommend this tour operator, the ticket stated a time of pick up which we were there for and they informed us that we missed the pick up time even though we were not informed of the time so how they expect us to know who knows. I requested a refund and this was agreed by Viator it would be done however a day later they told us no refund will be issued. Save your money, don't want this to happen to anyone else. We are now out of pocket because of this
Response from the operator: Dear Natalie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are really sorry for the challenges you encountered. Ensuring our guests' satisfaction is our top priority, and we have thoroughly investigated the issues you experienced with your excursion booking. According to our records, the details for your excursion on July 1st were sent to you via email through Viator on June 1st, providing the pickup time and location. Despite our efforts, we did not receive any response from you. Additionally, on the day of the excursion, we attempted to contact you again regarding the driver's inability to locate you, but unfortunately, we did not receive a response. We deeply regret that you were unable to join the excursion as planned. We value your feedback greatly, and we hope for the opportunity to assist you again in the future.

Good day out
Read many reviews ( bad and ok) and really I found the places excellent. Plenty of space, food area excellent and well organised, plenty of shelter, good mix of slides and a fabulous area for younger children. The one thing I would note is the ground was v slippy and I saw so many people fall at the bottom of the big slides. Signs up as warning but so v slippy. We really enjoyed the day and was clean and tidy. Not enough ring tho for the rides and many were loosing air. This should be easily rectified!
Response from the operator: Dear RAJ, Thank you for sharing your positive feedback. We're delighted that you enjoyed the spacious facilities, excellent food area, and the fantastic areas for both younger and older guests. Your input regarding the inflatable rings is valuable, and we will communicate this to our partners. Thank you very much, and we hope to see you again soon.

Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport cost?
+
Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Crete Acqua Plus Water Park Entrance Ticket with Transport start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cretan Safari – 4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach with Lunch, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
