Never heard of banana boats before. Consider it adult tubing. So much fun! The waves were choppy and the red flag was flying so she met us on the other side of the island. She was a bad@$$ chick! Lots of fun and very friendly. I jumped off and into the ocean just to find out I was swimming with the dolphins. Really too much fun to pass up. Also, find another company that will rent out Seadoos without a deposit. Simply put: there are none. We’ll definitely do it again. with or without the Groupon.
