Great family activity! - Great time for the family. Delaney and Myra (sp?) we’re great at driving us around and going the speed we we’re comfortable at and making sure we were all safe and had fun. You do have to sit straddling the inflatable tube so if you have bad knees you may need to reconsider!

Fun in the Ocean - We had so much! We would definitely book this excursion again. They gave us options of speed (👍🏻👎🏻), and made sure we had some great memories! Whether you are 50 or 15…this is a great time!

Banana Boat Experience - The banana boat experience was one to remember! The captain and crew were amazing. The bonus, we were able to see turtles and dolphin’s and flying fish. My family had a great time. Thank you so much.

The most fun! - This was the most fun we had on our trip! I don’t think the pictures do it justice you really get airborne when you hit the waves. 10/10 would do it again.

Banan Boat - My teenaged daughter picked this adventure for our family vacation and I am glad she did. We had a lot of fun. I thought I had read that we would be taken out as a family and not mixed with other families. Either I misread, or that was a Covid policy that is no longer valid. We were taken out with two other families and put onto the float with everyone. It made it hard to go as fast as we would have liked. Luckily, the other families were easy to get along with.

We were charged when the boat was not working - called but they wouldn't reverse charges. - We paid to park and found out that the boat was broken down and we had to reschedule. We then had to cancel due to the rescheduling didn't work for us. We were fully charged even though we cancelled. I had to call and they would not help me. Just kept putting me on hold and eventually saying they would email me. I haven't heard from them since. Very disappointing.
