Banana Boat
Maximum three people per ride. Falling off is the entire point.
The fast, loud and occasionally airborne end of the island. Jetski and jet car on the flat water at Nungwi, quads and buggies through the palm groves and villages inland, parasailing and kitesurfing over the reef, and skydiving over the coast for anyone who wants the whole island in one view.
None of these need experience or a licence. Everything runs with a guide alongside, and the shallow, warm water on this coast is a forgiving place to try something for the first time.
Mornings are calmer and better for beginners; afternoons pick up and suit confident riders. Weather cancels the airborne activities rather than risking them, so it is worth not booking those for your last day.
