5 January 2010: It’s all a go with H2O in Geelong this summer at Victoria’s first water theme park – ‘Adventure Park Victoria’ – and the brand new amphibious vehicle – ‘Ride the Croc’ – water and land adventure, and Mercure Geelong has a 2 night ‘Stay, Splash & Play’ package from $628 for a family of four incorporating these two great aquatic experiences.

The package includes 2 nights accommodation in a family room for 2 adults and 2 children*, full buffet breakfast daily in Zenith Restaurant, on site car parking, family entry to Adventure Park Victoria and four tickets on Ride the Croc.

Splash and play at Adventure Park Victoria on the new River Torrent Lazy River; race down the six lane Aqua Racer or dare to take on the Tunnel of Terror waterslide. There are plenty of rides for everyone including eight water rides, a Tiny Tots Splashzone plus nine additional family rides. Visit www.adventurepark.com.au for further information.

A harbour cruise with a difference, Ride the Croc (www.duckabout.com.au) is both car and boat, taking passengers on a drive along the Geelong Waterfront before it plunges into the water at Limeburners Point. This fun, adventurous 75-minute tour cruises Eastern Beach and the waters of Geelong Harbour.

Couples packages incorporating Adventure Park and Ride the Croc tickets also available from $503 for two nights with option to upgrade to a decadent spa suite for an extra $50 per night.
