  • Lost against the banana

    The Banana ride was much more intense and more fun than I thought. 20 minutes of holding on to the banana and ultimately failing. 3 of us lost our grip and landed on the water. Thankfully the other riders had more experience and guided us through the experience and helped us getting back on. Staff was friendly and helpful throughout the entire process.

  • We had an absolute blast...

    We had an absolute blast on the Banana Boat ride! The staff was super friendly, made sure everyone felt safe, and gave us the perfect mix of speed and fun- even turned it down a bit to accommodate our youngest daughter. Great for both kids and adults – definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something exciting on the water! Also, wanted to give a huge thanks for fishing me out after my unexpected Olympic “dive” off the boat dock! I may have lost my dignity and a croc, but thanks to y’all, I was out quickly. Your rescue skills were faster than my fall—which is saying something. 🤣 We definitely will be back!

  • Super fun time!...

    We had so much fun together, the Banana Boat was a great little excursion we got to enjoy as a family. I highly recommend it, but be sure to take sunglasses as the salt water will get in your eyes & sting a little. Overall 10/10
