Aquajet

Aquajet is a water park in Narbonne-Plage, the seaside district of Narbonne in the Occitanie region, built right on the beach along the road toward Gruissan. Spread across roughly a hectare of greenery planted with palm trees and Mediterranean vegetation, it combines a classic pool-and-slide layout with a dedicated Water Jump zone built around elevated jump platforms.

How do you get to Aquajet?

The park sits directly on the coast road connecting Narbonne-Plage to Gruissan, so arriving by car is the easiest option — two free car parks, one smaller and one larger, take the pressure off even during the busiest weeks of summer. Narbonne-Plage is a short drive from central Narbonne, and the surrounding stretch of coast is a well-established holiday area with a beach, restaurants, and other Aude tourist attractions nearby.

What can you do once you're inside?

Five water slides form the core of the park. The Anaconda is the thrill option, ridden headfirst on your stomach. The Boa runs about 100 meters and cuts through an artificial cave section, giving it a different feel from the open-air runs. The Rapido is built for speed, while the Canaïma is full of turns. The Salto Angel stands out for its width — up to four riders can launch down it side by side, which makes it a good pick for families or groups who want to go together.

The Water Jump area is a separate attraction: launch platforms set at several heights, including 10 and 12 meters, from which visitors jump straight into the water, plus a run styled after bodyboard surfing. Because of the physical demands involved, this zone is restricted to visitors aged ten and over.

Younger children and anyone less keen on adrenaline have two swimming pools and two paddling pools to work with, along with an inflatable play area and trampolines, so a day at the park can be split between very different paces of activity.

What else should you know before visiting?

On site you'll find changing rooms, lockers for rent at a small fee, a sun terrace with loungers, a snack bar, and picnic spots for anyone who prefers to bring their own food. The park runs seasonally through summer, typically opening toward the end of June — the calmest visits, with shorter queues and the full slide lineup running, tend to fall just outside the absolute peak of the school holidays, in June or September.

Because it sits right on the beach, a visit to Aquajet pairs easily with a swim in the sea or a walk along the shore toward Gruissan — an advantage over water parks set further inland.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aquajet suitable for young children? Yes — the pools and paddling pools are designed for younger visitors, while the Water Jump platforms are limited to those aged ten and above.

How many slides are there, and how do they differ? Five: the Anaconda (headfirst thrill ride), the Boa (about 100 m, partly through a cave), the Rapido (fast run), the Canaïma (tight turns), and the Salto Angel (wide track for up to four riders at once).

Is parking available? Yes, there are two free car parks on site, which sets Aquajet apart from many water parks that charge for parking.

When's the best time to visit? The park operates during the summer season; to avoid crowds, weekdays or the edges of the season (June, September) are a better bet than the height of the summer holidays.
