Banana Boats in Phuket

Banana boat rides behind a speedboat can be an exhilarating experience. Banana boats are long tubes filled with air that 6 to 8 adventure seekers sit on and hold onto handles to avoid falling off. The speedboat drivers job is to make the ride bouncy and to try to knock off the riders. All in all it’s good fun and safe as all riders are given life-jackets. These banana boat rides can be found on all the west coast beaches where you see the speedboats parked close to the shore including Patong, Kata, Karon, and Surin beaches.
