I had a blast. If you are experiencing carpal tunnel or tendinitis don’t go! Lol. You must hold on tight to stay on, but some people are willing to fly in!! My 8 year old had a wonderful time. She wanted to go again!
Awesome Experience on Banana Boat

So we are ate the restaurant on the same dock as the banana boat. Go there at 3:00pm. Banana boat was scheduled for 4:30pm. By the time we got out to go plates it was 4:15pm. When we got there just 30 feet away the guy had an attitude and said hurry, your already late. Nobody was before us. I told the dude, we paid for this just take time off, no need for an attitude and we paid $150. He continued with the attitude and said hurry your late. When he controlled the boat he as very aggressive. Tried to flip the banana boat over 6-8 times with 2 children on it. Every time he would take of and do a sharp turn he would look back. I told him to take us back and it was cut short. Never book him, I almost fought him after but my family said he wasn’t worth it. I still want to and just don’t book here please!!!!!
