Tour Overview
If you've been to any beach resort, you've seen them — those giant yellow bananas and colourful donut tubes being towed by speedboats while everyone on board screams with laughter. Now you can do it in Dubai.
The rules are simple. You and 4-5 friends sit straddling the inflatable banana (or inside the donut ring), holding onto the handles. The speedboat accelerates and tows you through the water at increasing speed. The driver takes tight turns and loops to make you fly off — and that's the fun part.
This is the perfect low-commitment activity for families, groups of friends, corporate team-building, and anyone who wants 15 minutes of pure, silly joy. No skills needed, no fitness required — just your sense of humour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Life jackets are mandatory for all guests, and the boat driver adjusts speed based on the group's comfort. Kids 6+ can ride with adult supervision. Falls into water are gentle and part of the fun.
Kids 6+ can ride. Children 6-12 ride with a parent or in the middle of the banana (safest spot). Under 6 not recommended.
Kids must hold their own handle, but younger children sit in the middle seat where they're most stable. The driver tailors speed accordingly.
Basic swimming ability is recommended (you might fall into the water). Life jackets keep non-swimmers afloat safely — let us know in advance.
Yes! Tell your skipper before starting. Options: gentle (no falls), medium (occasional splash), or "make us fly" (full bumps & spills). Most groups pick medium-high.
