Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can ride together on the banana boat?
The banana boat at Mobor Beach can accommodate up to 6 people (5 adults or 4 adults + 2 children). The boat is towed by a 40HP speedboat for a thrilling 15-minute ride. You can also request a 'gentle' ride for families with young children. Book on GoaNearby.In.
Is there any age restriction? Can toddlers join?
Minimum age is 5 years. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and sit at the front of the banana boat for stability. Toddlers below 5 are not allowed for safety reasons. Pregnant women cannot ride. If you have a child who is small for their age, call +918180951176 to assess.
What happens if someone falls off the banana boat?
Falling off is part of the fun! You will be wearing a life jacket, so you float. The speedboat will immediately stop and the guide will help you back onto the banana boat. If you do not want to fall, request a 'no fall' ride – the driver will avoid sharp turns. Inform the guide before departure.
