We had fun. Staff was really nice. The ride was a bit short. Advertised at 25 minutes, but we were out for only about 15 minutes.

We didn’t no the banana boat ride

jtelusnor, Dec 2019

So we paid for the banana boat ride but was given the tubing because we didn’t have enough people apparently. I did not question it, but as for tubing it would be nice to have some goggles because the sand flew in our eyes and so did the salt water. The gentleman was not a gentlemen. He did not help us get on the tube. We asked could he take pictures he took very few. He was not very friendly. The lady who got us ready to go was very nice!
