Among the many water slides at Siam Park in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, Kinnaree is one of the most exciting group rides. Named after a mythical half-bird, half-woman creature from Southeast Asian mythology, the Siam Park Kinnaree slide combines speed, sweeping turns, and wide open drops. It’s designed for shared fun, families and groups ride together in large inflatable rafts, making it one of the park’s most popular attractions for visitors who want thrills without going solo.

What makes Kinnaree unique?
Unlike the vertical fear of the Tower of Power or the twisting speed of Singha, Kinnaree offers a very different type of thrill. The slide starts with a fast descent into twisting curves before launching riders into a massive, open funnel. Here, the raft swings dramatically from side to side, climbing high on the walls before plunging back down.
It’s this combination of speed, open-air drops, and the unpredictable swinging motion that makes Kinnaree stand out. Riders often scream and laugh at the same time, especially as the raft tips at steep angles. Because it’s a group ride, the shared reactions add to the fun, what might feel terrifying alone becomes hilarious when you experience it with friends.
The ride experience
The Kinnaree slide is one of the longer attractions in the park. The initial tunnel builds speed and anticipation, but it’s when you burst into the open funnel that the adrenaline really kicks in. The raft races up the curved walls, creating moments that feel almost weightless before crashing back down to the centre.
On our own rides, the most striking part was the scale. The open section is enormous, and the raft feels tiny as it whips around the space. Every ride is slightly different depending on the weight and balance of the group, which makes it unpredictable and keeps people coming back for repeat runs.
As one reviewer wrote: “Kinnaree was our favourite as a family. It’s fast, scary at moments, but mostly just fun to share together.” Another visitor described it as “like The Dragon, but longer and with more surprises.”
Height and safety restrictions
To ride Kinnaree, guests must be at least 1.25 metres (4 ft 1 in) tall. The rafts are designed for groups, with two to four people required per ride. Lifeguards are present at both the launch point and the exit, ensuring everyone is seated correctly and holding onto the handles.
Although there is no fixed age requirement, the size and speed of Kinnaree mean that it’s best suited for older children, teenagers, and adults. Parents should consider whether younger riders will be comfortable with the swinging, side-to-side motion.
More information on restrictions across the park can be found on the tickets & Fast Pass page.
Tips from our visits
Kinnaree is one of the most popular family slides at Siam Park, so queues tend to grow throughout the day. From experience, mornings are the best time to ride it without a long wait. If you plan to ride more than once, a Fast Pass is a worthwhile option.
Because the ride is open-air at points, it’s also one of the more photogenic attractions. From the viewing area, you can watch rafts swing up and down the giant funnel, making it a good spot for family photos.

Why Kinnaree is worth riding
The Kinnaree is the perfect middle ground between extreme thrills and family fun.

With its sweeping funnel, unpredictable swings, and dramatic design, Kinnaree is one of the most memorable rides in the park and one you’ll want to experience more than once.
