A banana boat ride at Bai Sao is a short group ride, usually priced per person. Guide prices checked on 5 November 2026 are about USD 4 to 6 per person for a ride of 10 to 15 minutes. Figures differ by operator, and we confirm the exact price in the WhatsApp chat before you pay.

What it is and who it suits

A banana boat is an inflatable seat towed by a speedboat. It suits families, friends and anyone who wants a quick, cheap and splashy thing to do without skill. Rides are listed at Sao Beach (Bai Sao) in the An Thoi area, and the activity is also described as available at May Rut Island.

One guide says a banana boat can be booked for a group of up to 6 people per ride. Capacity varies by operator, so ask how many seats a boat has. For family questions, read can families ride one banana boat in Phu Quoc.

What is included

Inclusions belong to each operator, and we do not promise a standard package. A guide reports that safety briefings include life jackets before the ride, but check your own quote. Ask these questions before you agree:

  • Are life jackets provided and worn for the whole ride?
  • Is the price per person or for the whole boat?
  • How long is the ride, and does that include boarding and return?
  • Is a briefing given before you sit on the inflatable?
