Banana Boat Rides
  • All New 🍌 In 2025!
From $40

Get wet and have a blast as you tube across the waters of Back Bay in Virginia Beach on a fun banana boat ride!

Our Coast Guard licensed captain will take up to 6 riders at a time out for some family fun on the water. Everyone gets approximately 20 minutes of ride time on the banana. Safety is our priority and we do our best to accommodate everyone!

All participants wear CG-approved life jackets. Ages 6 and up are welcome to participate. Children under 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign a participation waiver.

Please note that the banana boat needs at least a minimum payment for 3 riders in order to depart! We will take trips of only 2 if you pay for a 3rd person.
