| ATLANTIS - 14-ACRE WATERSCAPE |
| THE LAGOONS The lagoons are comprised of six exhibits covering over 120 000 square feet and feature over 100 species of tropical fish. With the magic of theatrical lighting, the waterscape is made to look even more spectacular. Fiber-optic lights in the lagoons capture the vibrant colours of the tropical fish and coral. And after the sun melts into the ocean, they create the illusion of a brilliant, starry sky. Visit all six and see their unique features. Paradise Lagoon is a seven-acre, natural saltwater attraction where you can swim and snorkel among a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. And then there is Predator Lagoon with coral of every imaginable colour. The many shark, stingray and barracuda will come face to face with you as you travel alongside them in the underwater 100-foot-long transparent walkway.

| WATER SPORTS If you are not one to just lie in the sun, there is plenty to do at the Water Sports Center. Snorkeling, scuba, sailing, aquacats and kayaking are all available. There are also five freshwater swimming pools at Atlantis, covering over 32 000 square feet including a children's pool and a 1/4 mile long Lazy River Ride for rafting and tubing. |
| UNIQUE FEATURES Atlantis is not your typical island resort. With a 14-acre waterscape, water is flowing, cascading and shimmering all around you. Observe the 3 million gallon saltwater habitat with over 100 species of tropical fish and colorful corals. The stunning, natural beauty of the Caribbean can be appreciated from this aquatic display. As well, the Seagrapes Tunnel is a 300-foot-long grotto featuring spectacular underwater viewing stations along its cave-like walls which look into the exhibit lagoons. Head outside to take a walk along a 90-foot-long rope suspension bridge surrounded by 800 running feet of cascading waterfalls. Or stroll along any of the four miles of pristine white sand beach. No matter how you spend your days, one thing is for sure - you will be indulged with a taste of paradise. |
