A banana ride is one of the popular recreational activities in Tarkarli Malvan. A banana boat, is an unpowered, inflatable recreational boat meant for towing. Different banana boats usually accommodate three to ten riders sitting on a larger, main tube and resting their feet on two laterally flanking tubes which stabilize the boat.
The main tube is often yellow and banana-shaped. Banana boat is tied to speedboat / Jetski which pulls you into the sea. As the speedboat accelerates, the banana boat bounces over the waves, creating an exhilarating and often laughter-filled experience. The goal is to hold on tight as the boat twists and turns, making it a perfect adventure for families and groups of friends.
