The banana boat ride in Dubai is a group water activity off Palm Jumeirah, where you and several friends or family members ride a bright yellow, banana-shaped inflatable towed behind a motorboat for 15 or 30 minutes. It is a short, easy activity to slot into a beach day, with no equipment of your own to bring beyond a towel and swimwear for afterward.

You can book for 2, 5 or 7 people depending on the option you choose, so the ride works whether it is just you and one other person or a larger group. A trained crew runs the boat and briefs everyone on safety before you set off, adjusting speed and turns to keep the ride fun without tipping things over the edge. Everyone gets a life jacket fitted before the boat leaves the beach, so the whole group is set up safely from the start of the ride.

Once you are moving, expect twists, turns and sudden bursts of speed as the motorboat pulls the banana boat through the waves, with the occasional splash of water along the way. Between the bursts of speed, you get views along Dubai's coastline from a spot on the water that most beachgoers do not see, with the whole ride lasting either 15 or 30 minutes depending on your booking.

Life jackets and safety instructions from the crew are included throughout, and Rayna's team runs the activity on the ground at Palm Jumeirah, so support is close by from the moment you check in right through to the moment your whole group steps off the boat again.

For more water adventures in Dubai, you can sign up for a Jet Ski Adventure session or add flyboarding or wakeboarding for extra adrenaline. For a more relaxed option, our yacht charter packages are also available.

  • Bring your original passport and Emirates ID.
  • Arrive 15 minutes before your session begins.
  • Minimum age to participate is 13 years and above.
  • You should be able to swim or tread water.
  • Bring your own towel and swimwear.
  • Listen to the safety briefing before you start for an enjoyable, safe ride.
  • A minimum of two people is required to book this activity.
