The Best Activities for Kids at Wild Coast Sun

Most parents know all too well that family holidays are not really holidays at all. Sun, sea and sand aside, family holidays can be stressful, inevitably revolving around trying (and often failing) to keep your children amused, persuading them to eat and wrangling them to bed so that you can finally put your feet up. The saying goes that “you are only as happy as your least-happy child”, which is why we have compiled the ultimate holiday guide packed with things to do with kids at Wild Coast Sun.

Here’s our family holiday guide full of practical tips to help you keep your cool on holiday...

Scenario: The kids are bored!

1. Have a Wet and Wild Day at Wild Waves Water Park

There’s more than one reason why spending a day at Wild Waves Water Park is one of the most popular things to do with kids at Wild Coast Sun. Take your pick of thrilling waterslides and tube rides or enjoy
a relaxing time at the pool.

Fun Fact: If your little ones aren’t up for heart-pumping slides like the Boomeranga or Aqua Loop, take them to Kidz Zone – a fun, interactive water-play area.
