It is harder to fall off our banana boats than you may expect but you we get wet from the waves and spray.
What are the age restrictions to ride the banana boat?
We have life jackets for all ages and size. All passengers must be able to hold on the themselves so we recommend 5 years minimum. Family friendly rides are available on request. All riders under 15 will require adult supervision.
Do I need to be able to swim to ride the banana boat?
You don't need to know how to swim as we provide life jackets, however you need to be comfortable floating in the water in case you do fall in. If you are unable to swim please book the scenic ride as you are likely to fall off the wet and wild ride.

We are able to take a maximum of 12 passengers at any one time on the banana boat.
Do we have to book before we arrive?
You are not required to book the banana boat rides as walk ins are available but will depend on other bookings. We do however stick to a schedule so you may not be able to go straight away when you arrive.
