Rethymno Area: Limnoupolis Water Park Ticket with Transfers
Imagine a day where you and your family or friends swap the beach for a splash-filled adventure, all within the comfort of an organized trip. For around $47, you get unlimited access to water slides, pools, and attractions at Crete’s popular Limnoupolis Water Park, plus hotel pickup and drop-off in Rethymno. This tour lasts roughly 8 hours, making it a relaxed yet exciting addition to your Crete itinerary.
What we love about this experience is how well it balances adventure and relaxation. The variety of slides, from gentle kiddie zones to adrenaline-pumping freefalls, keeps everyone happy. Plus, the central pool’s 1500 sq.m area feels like a mini sea—perfect for lounging and cooling off. The pool bar and shaded sunbeds under the Cretan sun are real perks, letting you unwind between rides.
One thing to keep in mind is the transportation logistics. Some reviews mention that the bus route through Chania’s busy streets lengthens the trip, possibly cutting into your waterpark time. Also, there was a confusing charge about seating for small children, which might catch you unprepared if you’re traveling with little ones.
This tour suits travelers who want a full day of water-based fun without the hassle of organizing transport, especially families or groups looking for a mix of thrills and downtime. If you enjoy lively water parks and the ease of all-inclusive tickets, this experience is worth considering.

What You Can Expect at Limnoupolis Water Park

The journey itself is straightforward, but some travelers have noted that the route through Chania can make the trip slightly longer than expected. Once you arrive, the all-inclusive ticket grants you unlimited access to roughly 11 water attractions, including two freefall rides—an adrenaline boost for thrill-seekers—a black hole tube, a triple twist slide, and a lazy river to float your cares away.
The park’s central pool covers an impressive 1500 sq.m, giving plenty of space to swim or just relax with a drink from the poolside bar. For families or visitors with small children, the dedicated children’s pool, little falls, and Lilliputian slides ensure the little ones can have fun safely.

The Rides and Attractions
The water slides are the main draw, with some designed to get your heart pounding and others more suited for a laid-back float. The two freefall rides stand out, offering the thrill of a sudden drop that energizes your day. The black hole slide provides a dark, twisting experience, while the triple twist adds a spin you won’t forget. For a more serene break, the lazy river meanders through the park, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the sights.
Food and Relaxation
A key part of the experience is the pool bar, where you can grab drinks and snacks without leaving the water. Sunbeds surround the pools, offering shaded spots to relax after a few rides or when you need a breather from the sun. Pack your sunscreen and towels—these are essential for making the most of your time.
Practical Tips from Reviews
One traveler noted, “The price list shows that kids between 0-4 years are free of charge. However, after we had already booked and paid, they tried to charge extra fees for a small kid’s seat on the bus. It’s good to clarify this before booking.” This highlights the importance of confirming what’s included, especially for families with very young children.
Another review mentioned that the bus route through Chania’s busy streets made the trip longer, potentially reducing your waterpark time. If time is tight, consider this when planning your day.
