ORLANDO LATELY - NOVEMBER

Kopiko Wai Winding River

Kopiko Wai Winding River is the lazy river at Volcano Bay. Here you can enjoy the lush scenery and relax floating your day away. You may get sprayed with water along the way as you float down the river, but overall it is relaxing. The river takes you underneath the volcano and into the stargazer’s cavern, which is magical. This lazy river is great for all ages.
