Aqualand Costa Adeje: tickets, dolphins and when to buy on the official website

Aqualand is Costa Adeje's other water park: cheaper than Siam Park, with a dolphinarium, free parking and permission to bring your own food. It's run by Aspro Parks, the same company as Jungle Park, and that explains its best trick: the combined ticket for both parks.

Here, unlike Siam Park or Loro Parque, the price does change depending on where you buy. The official website is €2 cheaper per adult with a fixed date, and its 2 Parks ticket is €18 to €22 cheaper than the platforms' combos. A platform only pays off if you need to be able to cancel up to the day before.

Aqualand Tenerife ticket prices: when the official website is cheaper

Prices from the official Aqualand Costa Adeje website, gate / online. Under-3s go free.

Dated online tickets have dynamic pricing: €35 is the minimum, and the day you choose may cost more. Undated tickets are valid for 90 days from purchase. Online there's also a Family Pack (2 adults and 2 children) from €122 and a Friends Pack (4 adults) from €138, which can't be used on the day you buy them.

Something Siam Park doesn't have: over-65s pay the same as a child. Canary Islands residents also have their own rate on the 2 Parks ticket (€30.50 adult), though as a visitor you won't be able to use it.

GetYourGuide, Tiqets and Headout sell the ticket for €37, the gate price; the official website starts at €35. The real difference is the cancellation policy: Tiqets lets you cancel or change until 23:59 the day before and Headout allows neither cancellation nor changes. My rule: if your date is firm, buy on the official website; if you're at the mercy of the weather or the kids, pay the extra €2 on Tiqets to be able to change up to the day before.

Rides and height limits

According to the park's official map:

• Minimum 1.20 m: Ciclones, Tsunami, Hurakan, Kamikaze, Flying Boats, Multisurf, Tornado and Twister Racer.
• Gravity: minimum 1.40 m and a weight between 60 and 150 kg. Watch out with slim teenagers: they pass the height check and get turned away on weight.
• Children's areas, maximum 1.45 m: Pelican Bay, Pirate's Island, Pirates Splash Tower and Mega Adventureland.
• No restrictions: Lava River, the themed wave pool and the Vulcano Spa & Jacuzzi.

The water rides close 30 minutes before the park. And if you're looking for the slide that goes through an aquarium full of fish, this isn't the park. Aqualand has no sharks; that slide is the Tower of Power at Siam Park.

The dolphin show

There's one show a day, at 15:30, included in the ticket. The dolphinarium has 10 bottlenose dolphins; the park says 15 calves have been born there and that its show was named the best in the world by IMATA. Plan your day so you're in the stands at that time, because there's no second show.

There are two encounters you pay for separately: one from the poolside, from age 5, and one in the water, from 1.35 m tall, in which you don't swim with the dolphins. They can't be booked in advance: you can only buy them inside the park on the day, and the price isn't published.

Dolphin shows have their critics: several British tour operators stopped selling parks with whales and dolphins, while parks such as Loro Parque argue that training gives the animals exercise and stimulation. We go into more detail on the Loro Parque page. If you'd rather see them in the wild, have a look at the whale-watching trips.

Getting there: free bus and parking

The park has free parking on both sides, a taxi rank and a bus stop at the entrance. The free bus doesn't need booking, but seats are limited:

The return buses leave at 16:30 and 17:15. The park's timetable sheet is old and predates the 18:00 summer closing, so confirm on +34 922 715 266 or on the directions page.

If you're doing the 2 Parks ticket, Jungle Park's free bus leaves from the Aqualand stop itself at 09:30 and 10:55.

Aqualand or Siam Park: which Tenerife water park suits you?

Aqualand suits you if you have children between 1.20 and 1.25 m, grandparents in tow, a tight budget or a packed lunch you'd like to bring, and if the dolphinarium appeals. Siam Park suits you if you're after the big rides, the 3 m wave pool and the Tower of Power. More ideas for planning a holiday with little ones in Tenerife with kids.

Rules and tips

• On the slides: no glasses, flip-flops, phone cases or GoPro-style cameras. Swimwear only.
• Food: you can bring food and drink without glass containers, but picnics are only allowed in the marked areas. Inside there are two restaurants, Treasure Tavern and Caribbean Tavern, and a food truck.
• Refunds: none once you're in, whether the park closes for bad weather or rides are shut.
• Age: they may check it with ID or with the measuring posts at the entrance.
• Fast Pass: there's a sales desk in July and August; the price isn't published.
