With the power of the TapuTapu^™ wearable, there’s nothing between you and a full day of fun. It’s an all-new kind of paradise, just steps away from everything Universal Orlando Resort^™ has to offer.

The Volcano:

At the heart of the island stands Krakatau^™, the mighty Fire and Water Volcano.

Inside the cavernous volcano the Waturi people dare you to brave a variety of heart-pounding water slides.

Krakatau^™ Aqua Coaster:

Honorary Waturi can experience the power of Krakatau^™ on this amazing ride. Four-person canoes slide upward through the mists and into the dark twists and turns within the volcano before emerging with a plunge through a shimmering waterfall.
