Banana Boat and Towable Inflatables

Fifteen minutes of laughs and splashes: the banana boat (and alternatives like the ringo and sofa) is towed by a fast boat off Ksamil's seafront, taking tight turns designed to throw you into the water. You ride in groups of 4-8, life jacket mandatory, and laugh a lot.

From €15 per person for 15-30 minutes, it's the cheapest, most immediate water activity in the area: no complicated booking, you go to the jetty and wait your turn. In high season, though, queues do form: booking on WhatsApp saves the wait.

Good to know

• Falling off is part of the game: leave glasses on shore and phones away, or use a waterproof pouch round your neck.
• The most fun rides are with a full banana (6-8 people): with few passengers the boat makes fewer tight turns.
• In rough seas rides stop or get much more 'sporty': calm-water mornings are the time for kids.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the banana boat in Ksamil?

From €15 per person for a 15-30 minute ride. Discounts for large groups or multiple rides: ask on WhatsApp.

From what age can kids ride?

Depends on the inflatable and the sea: roughly from 6-7 years with an adult nearby. Life jackets are mandatory for everyone.

Will we definitely fall in the water?

No, but that's the fun: the driver builds the turns up gradually and you can ask for a 'soft' ride if you'd rather stay seated.

Do I need to book?

Not always: you can go to the jetty and wait your turn. In July-August the queue can pass an hour, so booking on WhatsApp is worth it.
