Compact, High‑Energy 40 Minutes
The full excursion is brief and focused: about 40 minutes total with roughly a 5‑minute run out to the tubing area, around 30 minutes on the banana tube, and a short 5‑minute ride back — ideal for a single, satisfying burst of activity.
Bring Up to Five Friends
Rides are built for small groups: the commercial banana tube accommodates up to six passengers, letting two to three families or a crew of friends share the same tow for a lively, shared experience.
Commercial Tube and Rigid Inflatable Boat
The operator runs the banana tube from a 24‑ft Willard RIB, and life jackets are supplied for all riders, keeping the focus on spirited fun while preserving basic safety standards.

This is a brief, concentrated water ride: you step aboard at the dock, motor a few minutes to the tubing zone, then spend roughly half an hour clinging to the banana tube as the driver carves wakes and launches quick bursts of speed — the return run is a short reversal to the dock.
