Reyna Zhao2025-06-29I highly highly recommend!! So much fun and everyone was so friendly and easy to converse with. You get to control the speed/intensity of your ride which is great! They even took some pictures of us during it and let us swim around in the ocean when we were done. We will definitely be back!
Marc Schaffer2025-06-26We booked a banana boat ride today (6/26) with Tim (SJ Banana Boat Rides) and we had so much fun! Tim was very welcoming and he explained everything very well and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Our family had a lot of fun and enjoyed the time we spent out on the water together. His helper (Trey) was also very nice and professional. I would highly recommend reaching out to Tim if you are looking for a fun/safe experience on the water! We will definitely come back again!
