Upon arrival everyone was so kind and polite. Waivers were super simple to fill out and they got us right on the boat for our experience. There were 6 of us, the driver made sure we were safe but also having fun! 10/10 recommend!

The ride was great, crew operating the boat asked you what kind of experience would you like: calm, wild and crazy or somewhere in between. Then they explained each scenario. This was a first time experience for myself and my son. Totally enjoyed it! Would definitely recommend it!

    The worst experience ever.

    Cheray_T, Aug 2025
    My experience was horrible. I paid $35.00 for pictures that I never received. I have called 3 different times and was told they were going to send me my pictures that I paid for. It's 3 days later and I still have not received my pictures. Not sure why they will send my pictures to me but they took my $35.00 dollars and tip. So I will be back to Ocean City in a couple days to see why I can't get my pictures. Thank you & see you soon.

    The whole experience was...

    The whole experience was a blast! But for future reference: always get there early so you have the maximum amount of time. We got there right at the allotted time so we had less time for the whole experience. Also, for my fellow people who do not necessarily want to fall in the water, just lean towards the middle and you'll be fine! It was a great time and my whole family really enjoyed it and the crew members make sure you get the most out of your time and have the best experience!

    overweight ruin the banana boat

    ZmZ, Jul 2025
    i went with 2 friends, the crew was nice, and the banana boat was fun for the most part, but the time spent out on the boat was only 20 minutes, and we got put together with a party of 2 old overweight individuals that spent multiple minutes trying to get back on the raft, so we only really got to have fun for 5 minutes and the majority of the time was spent waiting for these individuals to get back on the raft, this was really disappointing because we spent a good bit of money to have fun and it was ruined by the other party

    Wild adventure

    Great time, staff was friendly . And they wasn’t happy until everyone fell in the water. The ride could have been a little bit longer. But overall good experience.

    Amazing!!

    Fun 1st experience

    Stacey_W, Jun 2025
    This was a fun 1st time banana boat activity with my son and 2 grandsons ( 12 ahd 9) i do suggest… if u don’t want to fall off-tell the guys when u get on! They did slow down when we prompted them but the zi zag threw my son and grandson off…😩😀my grandson had a hard time getting back on the raft. Over all for him 7/10 bit me 10/10. Great memories!

    It was so much fun!...

    Banana ride is a unique...

    Trishikh_B, Sep 2024
    Banana ride is a unique 20 mins experience which can be enjoyable for a bigger kid but for smaller kid as mine (8 years old) , please caution the guides to go little slow as it can surprise the kiddos and hurt them if they are not holding the anchor tightly . Overall it was a pleasurable experience for me and little terrifying(:)) for my little one.

    A lot fun

    The meeting location is easy to find out. Great experience. Very exciting. Will be back soon. Kids love it.

    Disappointing Experience

    Ashley_K, Aug 2024
    Everything was ok until the instructor gave a sharp turn and flew off the banana boat breaking four of my nails. I started bleeding and we had to go back so we did not get a full experience which really was disappointing.

    Best 20 minutes ever! :)

    Grace_T, Jul 2024
    It was a wonderful experience. I felt very safe with the staff looking at us all time from the boat to make sure we were safe and comfortable.

    Terrible

    Thomas_S, Aug 2023
    We did not get to do the banana boats they kept canceling on us the weather was great all week so eventually they said they would have refund my money and I have not received it it has been 2 weeks through TripAdvisor does anybody know what I can do to get it back

    Easily Memorable Experience

    Daisy_T, Aug 2023
    Boater & guide we’re super nice and accommodating, my family were the only ones going at that hour so we had a boat all to ourselves! Never experienced anything like it!

    Best experience ever.

    Latoya_W, Jul 2023
    Was one of the best experience of time. We really enjoyed the speed of the boat and the captain and co captain was great. The lady at check was so professional and nice. Thanks.
