5 Best Family Things to Do in Salou

If the beach just isn't exciting enough, Aquopolis Costa Dorada might give you enough thrills during your holiday in Salou. The waterpark has thrilling slides like the Hurricane and Kamikaze, snaking flumes and the sinister-sounding Black Hole. There are ziplines, monkey rings, a treasure island to explore, as well as gentler rides for little ones.

Parents won’t feel left out at Aquopolis Costa Dorada. The relaxing Aloha Beach is modelled after Hawaii and makes for an oasis of calm in the middle of the park.

It's quite impossible to feel bored at Bosc Aventura, which offers all kinds of fun for adventurous families in Salou. Fly past towering trees on 4 different zipline circuits of varying difficulty, test your tactical skills on a 2,000-metre paintball circuit, or join in an exciting game of archery tag (using foam arrows, of course).

If you prefer a more relaxing activity, try a round of mini-golf along the 14-hole course. There's a small cafe if you want to grab a coffee or a beer after your game. The park is also conveniently located in the centre of town, with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

The gorgeous coastline is one the best things about Salou, so see as much of it as possible by getting out on the water. Boat tours can take you on an exploration of the coast, stopping at delightful villages and local ports. Lunch is usually a delicious barbeque on the boat or a nearby beach.

Unwind on deck with a drink, sunbathe on idyllic beaches, dive from the boat, or go snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Alternatively, get a front-row seat for the stunning sunsets and summer firework displays on a moonlight cruise.
