Maxima Aqua Fun may lack the white sandy beach for which Samal Island is famous for but it is home to the first giant tarpaulin water slide in the country and host to several other fun-filled water sports activities like swimming, jet skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, banana boat ride, water trampoline, and even fishing. The Resort is well monitored by several lifeguards always on-watch and life vests are a must for all users of the water sport facilities.

| The Resort's Signage |
The Resort was once a family-owned private property owned by the same group, the PSD Group, who gave us the Davao Crocodile Park, the Davao Butterfly House, Zip City and many other eco-adventure parks, but the owners eventually opened it to the public as an adventure park by the sea.

| The Giant Water Slide |
The giant water slide is the main attraction of Maxima. It is made of canvass material about 40 meters long, and a meter wide and it usually takes some six seconds slide from top to water splash right into the sea. The drop off to the sea is five feet during high hide and 12 feet during low tide.
