Volcano bay ..water shoes

Question

Hi guys,

Are you allowed to wear water shoes on the rides at volcano bay ...last time we were there there were so many people falling on the slippy floors!!!

Answer

Good question — yes, you *can* wear water shoes at Volcano Bay, but there are some important restrictions depending on the ride. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

General Policy on Water Shoes

- Volcano Bay allows guest to wear water shoes (or “aqua shoes”) while walking around the park, in the pools, and on some attractions.

- According to the Volcano Bay Rider’s Guide, footwear with buckles, rivets, or metal parts that could damage slides is not permitted on certain attractions.

- On rides where shoes aren’t allowed, there are typically shoe storage cubbies at the entrance.

Which Rides Allow / Don’t Allow Water Shoes

Allowed on:
- Tube rides
- The Aqua Coaster
- River rides (e.g., the Kopiko Wai Winding River, TeAwa “Fearless” River)
Not allowed on:
- Body slides / high-speed slides — some of these expressly require no footwear.

Practical Tips

Bring a good pair of water shoes — not just flip-flops — especially if you want to stay comfortable walking around on hot concrete.
When you approach a ride that doesn’t permit footwear, leave your water shoes in the provided cubbies / storage areas.
The rider guide and on-site signage will indicate whether shoes are allowed — if in doubt, ask the ride attendant.
If multiple people in your group want to go on a “no shoes” slide, make sure to note where you left your shoes (there can be several cubbies), so no one loses theirs. Some guests report that you might need to carry your shoes up the slide stairs.

Bottom Line: Water shoes are very useful at Volcano Bay for walking around and enjoying many of the attractions. But for certain rides — especially body slides — you’ll likely need to remove them. Plan ahead, use the shoe cubbies, and choose a comfortable, secure pair of water shoes to maximize both safety and fun.
