Atlantis Paradise Island day pass: Aquaventure, check-in and pool exclusions
An Atlantis Paradise Island day pass gets you into Aquaventure, the beaches and marine habitats without an overnight stay. Collect your wristband outside The Coral from 8.30am; in October, the water park runs from 10am to 6pm. Check the price for your date before buying.

The choice, in short
Why choose Atlantis Paradise Island
Give Aquaventure a full day, starting at the ticket desk outside The Coral.
AdmissionWhen to look elsewhere
For a brief shore visit, compare the downtown beach passes below before committing to the water park.
Other day passesSlides, sea and a river with a current
Aquaventure spans 141 acres of slides, river rides and splash areas.
The day pass includes Aquaventure, beaches, The Dig aquarium and the Predator Tunnel. Meals are purchased separately.
Atlantis hotel guests already have Aquaventure access and do not need a separate day ticket.
To get here from Nassau, choose between a taxi and a ferry. Private and shared taxis wait in the city centre and outside the cruise terminal; allow around 10–20 minutes for the ride to Atlantis. Show the driver your day-pass confirmation so you arrive at the Atlantis Adventures Tour Center outside The Coral, rather than losing time finding the collection desk after being dropped elsewhere. Bring cash for the taxi, even though you will use a card inside the resort.
The ferry from Nassau Cruise Port leaves every half-hour between 9am and noon. Water taxis from Prince George Wharf cross to Paradise Island in about 10 minutes. Check the fare and the return departure with the operator before boarding: the return schedule varies by season. If your ship has a fixed all-aboard time, arrange your return around that time, rather than the water park’s closing hour.
In October, the beaches and resort pools open at 9am and close at 6pm, while Aquaventure opens at 10am. From November to February, the beaches and pools run 9am–5pm and the water park 10am–5pm. The opening times let you plan the day, but you still need to collect your wristband before entering the outdoor areas.

A guest writing in October 2026 singled out the tube slides and Serpent Slide, and found the river much livelier than a lazy float.
