Boat tubing (or banana boating) is the watersport that produces the loudest, most uninhibited family laughter of any activity at a beach resort. The motor boat pulls, the inflatable tube bounces, the kids hold on for dear life, and somebody inevitably ends up in the water. Pure unfiltered fun.

The hotels in this collection offer proper boat tubing. Think well-maintained tubes, life jackets in every size, qualified captains who adjust the ride for the age and confidence of the group, and bounded water clear of other traffic. Minimum age is typically around six, with calmer sessions for younger riders.

Below are the top family hotels with boat tubing, sorted by overall score.
