This was the absolute best thing we did all week long, the staff was absolutely amazing, they are so much fun and they make the trip an awesome experience, the driver has a photographer on board and she will take pictures the entire ride, bring some extra cash because you will definitely want to buy them!! We had 7 people in our group, ages 12,15,16,24,27,34,37. The banana only holds 6 at a time so we booked 2 hours and split up in to 2 groups, it was such a blast if you have a large group don't automatically dismiss this excursion, just split up and go it's so worth it!!! We did get a 5 dollar discount on each person for having more than 6 people. What separates this banana boat ride from the rest in Destin, besides the awesome staff, is that they pull it with a ski boat instead of a jet ski so they take you out on the boat into the Gulf and let you climb on there, the scenery is beautiful, my husbands group saw dolphins!!! The other banana boats in Destin just have you climb on at shore and they drag you in and you just ride around near the beach. We laughed so hard and talked about it the rest of the trip we would have gone every single day if we could have. Also another note you have to have an appointment scheduled they are too busy and well known to just walk up and get a ride right then or even that day. Overall this is a must do excursion!!!!
