Happy island water world was first launched on the 28th of December 2018 in Muldersdrift, Mogale City. The water park has the largest wave machine in Africa, which produces waves similar to ocean waves at regular intervals. This gives visitors a sea-like experience, both for surfing and swimming. It is indeed one of the best water parks that Johannesburg has.

Apart from the gigantic wave machine, the park has 15 slides and rides. One of the most common ones is the gravity pool that will literally make your stomach rumble. This gives the ultimate body slide, especially for those who do not have the heart for this. To illustrate, one is sucked in an inclined loop to speeds of about 60 kilometers per hour, which takes less than 2 seconds.

In addition, there are also a number of spiral slides, high-speed slides, a python slide, as well as rainbow slides for adults and a pirate boat slide for children. There are also activities like Behemoth Bowl, lazy river, and massage pool for relaxing. Children activities, accommodation, and personal catering are also offered.
