THRILL SEEKER:

If your version of Spring Break includes momentum, movement, and nonstop experiences, this is your page. From climbing high above the ground to coming face to face with marine life, every day brings something new. When it is time to recharge, the refreshed hotel rooms keep you close to the action so you can reset and do it all again tomorrow.

THRILL SEEKER: Multi-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Elevate the Adventure

Arrive, drop your bags in your refreshed hotel room, and head straight for the Ropes Course and Zip Line. Test your balance, climb through suspended obstacles, and take in sweeping views as you soar across the property.

After your aerial experience, cool off at the hotel pool or refuel with a late lunch before heading back out to explore the property. End the night relaxing in your refreshed room, knowing tomorrow brings even more action.

Day 2: Face the Wild

Start the morning inside the Aquarium Pyramid, where sharks, rays, and vibrant marine life surround you. Upgrade your visit with a shark or stingray animal encounter for a guided, hands on experience led by expert animal care staff.

In the afternoon, move into the Rainforest Pyramid and spot free-roaming wildlife.

Wrap up the day with another round on the Ropes Course or active time at the pool before returning to your refreshed hotel room.
