Fun activity for the family! - My 13 year old and 15 year old loved this! My husband and I were not interested in going on the banana raft so we just stayed in the boat and even that was a lot of fun! 😊

Banana boat ride - We had a lot of fun riding the banana boat! My three girls and I really enjoyed the 20 minute ride. The guy driving the boat try to shake us all off from the banana boat almost at the end of the ride but only my girls fell off, not me! That was fun and funny!

Wipeout - Not what i expected. I thought we just ride along for fun, but it's not that. It's really hard work trying to hold on and not be thrown into the water. So with that being said if you want a work out you should if not then do it.

Such a sweet guide! - The place was easy to find and the guide was really nice. He took a picture for my son and I before we took off and when my son got scared all I had to do was wave my hand and he stopped the boat to circle back and let my son get in the regular boat with him. Which my son loved! I would definitely use them again.

IT WAS JUST OKAY - I guess it was ok however they put us on with another family and the woman fell off the boat and my husband had to help her it really scared my daughter after that I don't think she will ever go on that again ..
