Inflatable Ride
₹700.00
Activity Overview
A banana boat ride is a recreational water activity in which participants sit in a line on a long inflatable boat. The inflatable is connected to a speedboat and towed through a designated water-sports zone, creating an exciting combination of speed, turns and splashes.
Before the ride begins, every participant receives a safety briefing and a correctly fitted life jacket. Participants must remain seated, hold the safety grips and follow the crew’s instructions throughout the experience.
The activity may be available at Elephant Beach or another authorised location around Havelock Island.
