Great value and a lovely day out. Slightly crowded at one stop but the team handled it well.

A classic burst of family fun: hold on tight as a speedboat tows your banana boat and tube across the bay. Plenty of laughs, splashes, and friendly competition for who can stay on the longest.

Family-friendly banana boat and tube ride in the bay.

Absolutely the highlight of our trip. The crew was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of their island. We saw turtles up close and the lunch was delicious.
