Batu Aji Water Park Top 100 Tembesi

Batu Aju Tembesi water park located close to Top 100 Tembesi. 

Often overlooked probably due to its location away from the tourist trail,  Batu Aji is not that far away and is actually on route to Barelang.  Ideal for those wanting to spend part of the day having fun, and finish checking out the sunset with a spot of live seafood.

The water park is open every day and id busiest at weekends of course. The site itself is impressively large and can accommodate several hundred visitors. Don’t be put off attending at busy times, there’s room for all.  The theme of the water park is decorated with marine characters like sea horses, dolphins & turtles,which makes for a magical atmosphere for the little ones.

Some slides are only for the brave & thrill seekers however, due to their height.  It’s quite a climb to the top, but well worth it if you’re brave enough to take the plunge to the bottom.

The park has sufficient lifeguards on duty, clean changing and washing areas.
