Banana boat rides - a great way to ride the gentle sea waves in the Maldives

With the number of different kinds of boats there are in the world, there are none as unique to the Republic of Maldives as the banana boats there. These are so called because of the shape, and are made from coconut palm trees. Riding a banana boat has become a popular way of getting from one island to the next, and also for tourists to get an idea of what life was like in the old days.

These boats are quite safe for tourists to ride in, and many people that have had an exciting time riding one have commented that they would like to return to the Maldives again and take another banana boat ride sometime soon.
