Reviews
We thoroughly enjoyed the Banana Boat ride! The staff was extremely friendly and ensured everyone felt secure while providing just the right blend of speed and enjoyment, even moderating it for our youngest daughter. It's perfect for both children and adults—truly a highlight of our vacation. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking an exhilarating water activity. I also want to extend my gratitude for rescuing me after my unexpected leap off the boat dock. I may have sacrificed some dignity and a shoe, but your quick response got me out of the water in no time. Your agility was impressive! We will certainly return!
The Banana ride exceeded my expectations in intensity and enjoyment. I held on for 20 minutes before eventually falling into the water along with two others. Fortunately, the more experienced riders assisted us in getting back on. The staff were friendly and supportive during the whole experience.
This was our first experience riding the banana boat at full speed. It was filled with thrilling moments and plenty of laughter as we held on for dear life.
We had a fantastic experience. It was just my husband and me, and our captain was extremely courteous, enjoyable, and attentive. As we're not exactly young anymore, he was careful to ensure we were managing everything well.
We really enjoyed our experience on the banana boats. The captain was excellent, the music was entertaining, and there were plenty of waves to enjoy. Our child wanted to return every day. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic time on this activity during our honeymoon. It was incredibly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to everyone. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience.
It was a fantastic experience for our first time. We will surely return with the family to do it again. Our driver was exceptional.
The staff is excellent, and the pricing is quite fair. This is one of the best adventure spots I have ever visited, and I felt very safe the entire time.
The experience was enjoyable, and the weather was fantastic.
We ate at the restaurant on the same dock as the banana boat and arrived at 3:00 PM for a ride scheduled at 4:30 PM. By the time we got to the dock, it was already 4:15 PM. The operator had a bad attitude, insisting we were late despite no one being ahead of us. We paid $150 and I asked him to drop the attitude, but he remained dismissive. During the ride, he was aggressive, nearly flipping the banana boat multiple times with my two children onboard. He would make sharp turns while looking back, which made me uncomfortable enough to ask for an early return. My experience was very disappointing, and I strongly advise against booking this activity.
