What to expect

The Aquaworld FlowRider is a wave generator on an inclined surface: the water flows uphill and you ride on top of it. It was the first one open to the public in Cancun and is the only activity of its kind in the destination.

The surface is soft, like a trampoline, so it is easy for people who have never surfed. You start lying down or kneeling on the bodyboard and, once you get the hang of it, move on to stand-up flowboarding; instructors help you with a rope at first.

Your session lasts one hour. Bodyboarding requires a minimum height of 1.00 m and flowboarding 1.20 m, with a maximum weight of 115 kg. It is at Aquaworld in the Hotel Zone; transportation is not included.

“Excellent Taxi service at Punta Cana Airport! The driver, Juan, was a true professional, met us and helped us with our bags. The ride was comfortable and safe, and Juan even shared great ideas about visiting local attractions. Very nice. I highly recommend him.”
