Most families rave about the thrilling rides and fantastic crew members. Names like Captain Cody, Brad, Savanna, and Trent come up repeatedly for making the experience fun and memorable. The crew gets high marks for being friendly, professional, and adjusting the intensity based on who's riding. Many say this was the highlight of their entire vacation, with teenagers and adults alike getting tossed around and laughing the whole time. That said, there are some operational hiccups worth noting. Communication seems inconsistent, with a few visitors reporting confusion about timing, delayed starts, or difficulty reaching anyone at the office beforehand. A couple of serious complaints involve accessibility issues and staff attitude at check-in, suggesting customer service can be hit or miss depending on when you show up. Once you're actually out on the water though, the experience itself delivers the excitement you'd expect. Just plan for some flexibility with timing, bring goggles and sunscreen, and book ahead since spots fill up quickly during peak season.
The banana boat ride was the highlight of our vacation. The 2 man crew went above and beyond to make sure we had fun and were safe. Thank you for a memorable experience.
