Brilliant experience at the sunset

Brilliant experience! A great combination of sightseeing and having fun. We felt very safe on the boat, despite it has moved fast. We also got amazing pictures of sunset and skyscrapers.

It’s a must do in Abu Dhabi

Tour was excellent and our guide (can’t remember his name) was great and very knowledgeable about the history of Abu Dhabi. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Yellow Boat Thrill Ride, a mist do in Abu Dhabi

Excellent service and experienced pilot and coordinator … we had several seniors in the group and everyone enjoyed the thrill beyond expectations. Wild Ride on open water, water acrobatics in bay water, beautiful sunset in the background, plus Dolphin sighting … could not ask for more … highly recommend 👍 The Corniche beach and high rise skyline in the evening add special background for breathtaking pictures. Carry a good string attached stabilizer, if you plan to record videos.

Nice boat trip

The boat tour was nice to get out of the marina and into the fresh breeze! There were a few places we couldn’t get to due to low tide and the staff did try and make up for this by going a bit further the other way so could see the palace in the distance. Staff were very friendly.

Nice trip

Great Views Guide needed a microphone as could not hear him that well as he was at the front and we sat at the back. Also a little bumpy but good fun and lasted an hour

Awesome

This is great fun and highly recommend it. Must admit I’d done no research when I booked this tour - just assumed it would be your typical cosy boat ride with guided waffling on with lots of facts at what you’re seeing. But this was best of both worlds. You got to enjoy the scenery Abu Dhabi has to offer with the odd bit of explanation thrown in when the boat came to a stop. But you also had the thrill of the boat speeding across the water, with you getting splashed by the waves. We even saw some dolphins. Drivers/guides Sohail and Khasul (?) clearly love their job and their enthusiasm rubs off. They’re more than happy to stop the boat for lots of pictures. Sohail also arranged for cabs to come pick me and another married couple up afterwards when we weren’t sure how to get back to the city (it’s in Emirates Palace Marina so it is gated off from the main streets). Booked 99 minute premium tour at cost of around £59 (with a 10% discount online) and loved every minute.
