Book NowWhat is a Banana Boat Ride?
A Banana Boat is a long, inflatable tube shaped like — you guessed it — a banana. Up to 12 riders straddle the tube while a speedboat pulls it at high speed across the sea. The real fun comes from trying to stay on as the captain turns, bounces and speeds through waves. Falling off? Totally normal, totally hilarious.
It’s one of the most iconic and entertaining water activities in beach destinations around the world — and Playa de Palma is one of the best places to do it.
For Whom Is the Banana Boat Playa de Palma Perfect?
- Groups of friends on holiday in Mallorca
- Young adults looking for fun and adrenaline
- Couples wanting a laugh and good energy
- Solo travelers ready to meet others
- Birthday celebrations, stag/hen parties, team trips
Whether you’re 20 or 40 – if you like laughter, speed, and the sea, this is for you.
