Tutuki Splash symbolises a ceremonial ritual in honour of the goddess Pele, which took place on nights with a full moon.
All of a sudden the beautiful melody is drowned out by the roar of Tutuki Splash. A dizzying descent from the summit of a volcano down into the lake. It commemorates a ceremonial act performed by island natives in honour of the goddess Pele on nights when the moon was full. Tutuki Splash reaches a speed of 56 km/h and displaces more than 1,000 litres of water on its way down. Kontiki is another of Polynesia's star attractions. This faithful reproduction of a canoe used to transport travellers gradually rocks and sways until it tips at almost 180°, thrilling visitors by taking them to dizzying heights.
