Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park is a water park located in Destin, Florida, United States. It opened in 1986.[1] It is primarily a water park, with over 40 attractions, private cabanas, a half pipe for surfing, and flow boarding. The park contains a skycoaster which stands at 100 feet tall, and racing at speeds around 60 miles per hour.[2] It also features several thrill ride attractions and a miniature golf course.[3]
In 2014, the original owners of Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park sold to Apex Park Groups, which later went through a financial restructuring and renamed it Boomers! Park.[4]
On July 16, 2019, Big Kahuna's lazy river was shut down by the Okaloosa County Health Department for unsanitary water conditions.[5]
In 2022, parent company Boomers Parks re-branded Sahara Sam's in West Berlin, New Jersey to Big Kahuna's Water Park.[citation needed]
