The story

What happens

1. Step 01 Get to the boarding point

2. Step 02 Kit up

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

3. Step 03 The ride

   Thirty minutes on the banana, towed by the speedboat.

4. Step 04 Back ashore

   Back to the boarding point, soaked.

Know before you go

• The operator names this activity a banana boat ride, but its three options read 'Donut Ride Ride', at half the price of the operator's own 30-minute donut ride. Your captain confirms with the operator which ride you get, and the price, before you pay.
• The price is for the ride, not per person: up to 2, up to 5 or up to 7 riders. A larger group needs more than one ride; 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 and swimming rules. For comparison only, another operator's towed banana or donut ride on Visit Dubai (Blue Safari Water Sports, Palm Jumeirah) takes children from seven, with under-16s accompanied by an adult, and asks every guest for a passport or photo ID.
• Life jackets are worn on towed rides; your captain confirms that the operator's operator provides them.
• Not for anyone pregnant or with back, neck or heart trouble: the ride bumps over the wake and can end with everyone in 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 0.3 hours on the first option and leaves the others blank; the option names say 30 minutes.
• Availability is 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.
