Detail InformationEdit

Banana boat rides is one of the most fun-filled water sport activities in Goa. The banana boat comprises of an inflatable boat, which is shaped like a banana, which is attached to a motor boat. It can seat approximately 4-6 people. Once everyone is seated in the boat, the boat takes off to the sea. As soon as the motor boat sprints into the ocean, the boat will toss away the passengers into the water. The funniest thing is that you will find yourself thrown into the water just when you leave the beach and enter the water. After being flung into the water, the passengers will have to pull themselves back into the banana boat and begin again.
