Looking for a water activity that’s fun for the whole family?
Pedal boats with slides are one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to spend time on the sea. Whether you’re visiting Platanias with kids, friends, or your partner, this laid-back adventure lets you relax, play, and cool off — all in one ride.
Let’s dive into why pedal boats are such a hit with visitors to Platanias and how to make the most of your ride.
What Is a Pedal Boat with Slide?
A pedal boat, sometimes called a paddle boat, is a small, stable watercraft powered by pedaling with your feet — like riding a bicycle on water. The best part? It comes with a built-in slide so you can splash straight into the sea!
It’s easy to operate, doesn’t require any special skills, and fits up to four people comfortably.
Why Families Love Pedal Boats
Pedal boats are perfect for:
Families with children – Kids love the slide and parents love the safety.
Groups of friends – Chill together while pedaling around the beach.
Couples – A relaxing, scenic ride on the water.
Because the boat moves slowly and is easy to control, it’s a stress-free activity for all ages. You don’t need to balance, swim far, or go fast — just pedal, slide, and have fun.
