Kontiki

Kontiki is the swinging ship in the Polynesia themed area. The ride recreates the rolling of a ship caught in a tropical storm.

The concept

A storm has been forecast over the Pacific Ocean, right where the great catamaran Kontiki is sailing. This ship is known for its strength in storms that sink other boats. You're part of the crew.

The Experience

The boat swings higher and higher back and forth, until it's almost perpendicular to the ground. With every drop you get butterflies in your stomach. The ride isn't long, but it packs a punch.

Discover Kontiki

Choose your spot

The closer you sit to the ends, the higher you swing and the more strongly you feel the drop.

Hold on tight

The boat swings up almost vertically. Hold on tight and stow away any loose belongings.

Combine in Polynesia

After Kontiki, Tutuki Splash is close by, for anyone who also fancies getting wet.

Visitor information

From 1.40 metres you can ride alone. Between 1.30 and 1.40 metres you ride with an adult. PortAventura Park isn't open all year round. Check the official opening calendar before your visit.

Storm in Polynesia

Kontiki is a classic swinging ship with a lovely Polynesian theme. A good choice if you love swinging but don't want a rollercoaster.
