Banana Boating in Sri Lanka

Banana Boating is an up-and-coming water sport around the world. With the use of a boat, which in shape resembles a banana that is in turn attached to a motorboat, a group of 6 people can enjoy these rides. This type of water sport is carried out in the open sea and is strongly associated with fun and excitement as the ride plummets passengers into the waiting sea.

As the boat crashes against the water, banana boating closely resembles rafting without the pull of the white water currents, as the boat is pulled by force the force of a motorboat. In many cases, the passengers will be thrown off the boat into the sea and thus all passengers are required to wear a lifejacket.

Mostly popular amongst the young and adventurous crowd the ride provides an exhilarating experience as you get flung out of the boat and the process of getting back onto the boat is as much fun as is riding it. Much like water skiing, the boat skis the water in a similar manner.

For those who wish to indulge in banana boating, make your way to Bentota, which provides this uniquely adventurous water sport. One ride will cost around 600 rupees per person and allows guests to ride around 1 to 2 kilometres off Bentota Beach.

Visit Sri Lanka and take part in this exhilarating ride of a lifetime.
