Is it right for you?

Seniors

Not advised for seniors: The ride bumps hard over the wake and can throw riders into the water, so it does not suit anyone with back, neck or heart trouble

Getting around

Little walking

Children

Riders sit astride the banana holding the front handles, and everyone should be comfortable being tipped into the water

The story

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

1. Step 01 Get to the boarding point

   Make your own way to the beach or marina named on the operator's voucher; the operator lists this ride without a transfer.

2. Step 02 Kit up

   Check in with the operator and put on the life jacket; your captain confirms with the operator that one is provided.

3. Step 03 The ride

   Fifteen minutes on the banana, towed by the speedboat.

4. Step 04 Back ashore

   Back to the boarding point, wet and probably laughing.

Know before you go

• The price is for the ride, not per person: one price covers up to 2 riders, the other up to 5. A group of three to five takes the up-to-5 option; a group of six or more needs more than one ride, so ask your captain.
• The operator does not name the operator or the boarding point. Your captain gets both from the operator with the voucher, before you pay.
• Ask your captain for the operator's minimum age, whether riders must be able to swim, and confirmation that life jackets are provided; the operator states none of these.
• Not for anyone pregnant, or with back, neck or heart trouble: the banana bumps hard over the wake and riders can be thrown into the water.
• You will get wet. Wear swimwear or quick-dry clothes, bring a towel and a change, and leave phones and valuables ashore.
• Strong sunscreen and sunglasses with a strap; from May to September the sun on the water is fierce, and a morning ride is kinder.
• Rides depend on the wind and the sea. The operator can shorten or call off a ride in rough water; your captain tells you what the operator offers if that happens.
• The operator writes the ride's length as 0.15 hours; it is the 15-minute ride in the option name, and this page shows 15 minutes.
• Availability and the ride time are confirmed by the operator only when your captain books. The operator can decline a booking if the price has changed, the slot is full or the product is on stop-sale, and you are told before you pay.
• Prices are in INR, per ride for the group size shown. GST and TCS on international bookings are shown in your written quote.
