2. Where are the best places to enjoy a banana boat ride?

It should come as no surprise that some of the most popular vacation spots in the South of England boast banana boat rides among their beach activities. Newquay’s Summerleaze Beach isn’t just a surfer’s paradise, but a bay for banana boating too. The beautiful beaches of Studland, in Dorset, is another place where you can break up a day of sunbathing with a wild ride across the waves, or try this activity in Newhaven, East Sussex, where spectacular white cliffs are the backdrop to a ride on a big sofa. But it’s not just the south coast where you can enjoy a banana boat ride, in fact, there’s a lake within the M25, in Upminster, where Londoners can get their fix of fun without travelling for hours. Lakes provide settings for this activity in other parts of the country too, in Lincolnshire for example, or on one of the most breathtaking lakes in the whole of the UK, Loch Lomond in Scotland. The other nations of the UK are catered for as well, with Tenby as one of the most popular spots to go banana boating in Wales, and Carlingford Lough in Northern Ireland hosting banana boat trips on the Irish Sea.

4. How long do banana boat rides last?

The point of a banana boat isn’t to transport you from one place to another. Instead, the point is to raise your heart rate, heighten your adrenaline levels and make you laugh! Most rides last between 10 and 15 minutes which might not sound like much, but in that time you’ll be pulled the length of the beach or lake a couple of times, and have to try and stay dry at top speed and when cornering - so you’ll feel fully satisfied by the time you’re back on dry land!
