Disney cruise passengers and other Nassau cruise visitors can consider a Baha Bay day ticket, subject to availability. A general-public ticket covers Baha Bay and the adjacent beach; it does not include access to Baha Mar resort amenities. The Baha Bay Beach Club requires a separate reservation and minimum food and beverage spend. Check ticket inclusions and your ship’s port schedule before booking. Atlantis is another Nassau waterpark option with separate admission and inclusions. See the official Baha Bay FAQ for current access rules.
Top Attractions at Baha Mar Water Park
Baha Bay Water Slides
The water park boasts 24 thrilling water slides, including the Thunderball, a high-velocity, 79-foot open drop slide, and the Dueling Riptide Coaster, an exhilarating water coaster that propels riders through twists and turns. These slides are perfect for adrenaline junkies looking for an exciting experience.
Wave Pool and The River
The 500,000-gallon wave pool at Baha Bay is a favorite among guests. Every 15 minutes, the calm waters transform into a wave-filled adventure, providing endless fun for all ages. Additionally, The River is an action river with moving currents, waves and rapids rather than a consistently gentle lazy float. Follow the posted height, flotation-vest and supervision rules.
