Jamberoo Action Park

Jamberoo Action Park is Australia’s premier water theme park, set on lush green hillsides near the coastal town of Kiama. With a mix of heart-pumping slides, family-friendly pools, and scenic chairlift rides, it’s a perfect day out for thrill-seekers and families alike. The park’s elevated location offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, adding a unique natural backdrop to the watery fun.

Highlights & What to See

• The Perfect Storm – A massive funnel ride that spins riders in a giant vortex before dropping them into a splash pool; not for the faint-hearted.
• Funnel Web – A four-person raft ride that plunges into a huge funnel, creating moments of weightlessness.
• Tommy Turtle’s Creek – A gentle, winding lazy river perfect for floating and relaxing between adrenaline hits.
• The Banjo’s Billabong – A sprawling wave pool with artificial waves, ideal for body surfing or just bobbing around.
• Chairlift & Scenic Views – Ride the chairlift to the top of the park for panoramic views of the Illawarra escarpment and coastline – a great photo op.
• Kids’ Cove – A dedicated area for younger children with mini slides, water sprayers, and shallow pools.

Suggested Time to Spend

Most visitors spend a full day (6–8 hours) to experience all the major rides and have time for multiple goes on favourites. Arrive early when the park opens to beat the queues for the top slides. If you’re short on time, a half-day (4–5 hours) is enough to hit the highlights, but you’ll miss the chance to relax by the wave pool or lazy river. Weekdays are quieter; weekends and school holidays can be busy, so plan accordingly.
