The donut ride — also called a tube ride or towable — is one of the most exhilarating water activities on the Arabian Gulf. Riders sit or lie on a large, round inflatable tube that’s towed behind a speedboat. Unlike the banana boat where you sit in a line, the donut spins and rotates as it bounces across the wake, creating a wild, unpredictable ride.
The experience is hilarious, exciting, and suitable for all ages. The driver adjusts speed and turning intensity based on the group — gentle for families with kids, or fast and furious for thrill-seekers who want maximum action.
• Inflatable donut/tube (fits up to 3)

The banana boat is a long inflatable where riders sit in a line. The donut is round and spins as it’s towed, creating a wilder, more unpredictable ride. Both are great fun — the donut is slightly more intense.
Yes, the donut ride is safe for all ages with life jackets provided. The driver adjusts speed for younger riders.
Possibly — and that’s part of the fun! The warm Gulf water and your life jacket mean there’s nothing to worry about.
