About

The River at Baha Mar's Baha Bay Water Park is the resort's lazy river attraction, a flowing water circuit that carries guests on tubes through the park's tropical landscaping with light rapids and wave features that add just enough movement to be engaging without being intimidating. For families, a lazy river is one of the more versatile attractions in a water park: toddlers love the gentle motion and the tube float, older kids enjoy the independence of the circuit, tweens and teens use it to recover between more intense slides, and parents get a few minutes of actually relaxing between their own active supervision. The River at Baha Mar integrates into the broader Baha Bay park experience and is accessible with the same wristband as the rest of the park.

For families visiting Baha Bay, The River is one of the elements that makes the park work for all ages simultaneously, everyone can do it together regardless of height restrictions or swim ability, which is valuable when managing mixed-age groups. Tube rentals or inclusions should be confirmed at the park entrance.
