What is the Banana Boat Ride
 |
| You ride on a yellow inflatable shaped like a banana. |
 |
| The banana-shaped inflatable is towed by a motorized boat. |
 |
| The banana boat ride in Boracay goes half-way around the island. |
Why do the Banana Boat Ride
1. The great thing about the Banana Boat Ride is that it feels like a jet ski ride except it's much cheaper than doing a jet ski.
A jet ski ride costs 3000 per hour and can accommodate a maximum of 2 persons. A banana boat ride is 1250-1500 pesos per banana boat (for a 15-minute which can accommodate a maximum of 6 persons. (See banana boat ride rate below)
2. It's a fun thing to do together as a family because one banana boat can fit a whole family. In our case, it fits all 6 of us.
2. It's a great way to see the perimeter of Boracay island because it goes half-way around the island.
HOW IT IS DONE

MY TIPS:
1. The best time to do any water sports activity is in the morning, around 10:00 AM. We did the banana boat ride in the morning and the weather is cooler compared to when we did parasailing in the afternoon.
2. Bring a camera. One of the boatmen riding the boat pulling the banana boat can take a picture or video of your ride.
