Adventure Isle, Adventure area in Disneyland Paris, France.
Adventure Isle is an artificial island at the centre of Adventureland in Disneyland Paris, split into a northern and a southern island. The northern island holds La Cabane des Robinson, a treehouse built around a monumental Disneyodendron, with Le Ventre de la Terre, a cave maze of roots beneath it, and the wreck L'Épave in La Mer des Bretteurs. The southern island is rockier: Captain Hook's Jolly Roger lies off Skull Rock, La Plage des Pirates playground sits nearby, and Spyglass Hill hides mazes, caves and a treasure. Rope-and-timber suspension footbridges with log decks and white rope netting link the parts.
Adventure Isle opened with Disneyland Paris on 12 April 1992. Imagineers made it the centrepiece of Adventureland after deciding Big Thunder Mountain would anchor Frontierland, leaving Tom Sawyer Island without a site. To build Spyglass Hill they bought real rocks from storehouses around France.
The northern island uses French as its main language, the southern island English. The northern half holds La Cabane des Robinson, the treehouse built by the shipwrecked family, with Le Ventre de la Terre, the root-filled cellar caves beneath the tree, and L'Épave, the wreck of their boat in La Mer des Bretteurs. The southern half stages Skull Rock and Captain Hook's Jolly Roger, drawn from the 1953 film Peter Pan, with Ben Gunn's Cave named after the 1950 Treasure Island.
Wear comfortable shoes as the area has many pathways and stairs to navigate. Visiting during less crowded times allows you to explore the caves and trails more peacefully.
Construction teams gathered authentic rocks from locations throughout France to create natural-looking hills and formations. These real materials give the area its genuine adventurous character.
