Banana Boat Ride, Palm Jumeirah is a water activity listed under Dubai activities at RAAHHI TOURS. Riders sit in a row on a long yellow inflatable shaped like a banana, which a motorboat tows through the water off Palm Jumeirah. Rides last 15 or 30 minutes, and bookings are made for groups of two, five or seven people. Before setting off, every rider is given a life jacket and a safety talk by the crew, who then set the pace and steering to suit the group. Expect sudden bursts of pace, sharp bends and plenty of splashing, with glimpses of the Dubai coastline in between. Everyone must be 13 or older and comfortable swimming or treading water. Pack swimwear and a towel, arrive 15 minutes ahead of your slot, and carry your passport and Emirates ID. Listed duration or timing: 15 or 30 minutes (option chosen at booking).
