The dinner area is at the top of the of the boat and uncovered. Dress for the weather as it’s usually 7-10 degrees colder on the water-so it’s my fault that I was cold…but cute. The narration on the boat was good and the views to take pictures was spectacular, we loved it. I LOVE that Viator provides transportation to and from your hotel included in the price. Our driver was timely and also gave a city tour while we made our way to the venue and there again afterwards. Just a wonderful experience (culture, food, locations), 10 out of 10.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It was our pleasure to serve you. We are happy as you spend some quality time and like the place. Thanks again
Nice trip but NOT 5 star dinner - very good indian food though and nice staff. Alkoholic drink cost extra (a lot). And DO not trust guidance from Viator on were to find the boat. Go to Yas Marina, and it is easy to find (and you cant cross through the cirquit parkinglot and streets - you need to go all the way around. When you sail you see mostly Yas skyline not downtown skyline.
Thank you for your detail review and wonderful tip for finding the direction. Really appreciated. Thanks again
We were the only 2 guests on board. The food was NOT 5 star, a bowl of lettuce with Parmesan cheese sprinkled & no dressing, pretending to be Caesar salad. 4 little pieces of chicken, steamed rice, bowl of soggy steamed fish, veg curry, humus dip. A beer & small glass of wine cost us $17USD. The food was rushed & not nice. We’ve had a better meal on an economy flight. We came for the 5star international buffet as advertised, but was very disappointed!!! We have been on other cruises in Hawaii, Bangkok & Istanbul which did not disappoint, but this certainly did. However the views were really lovely & the weather was perfect. The cruise is NOT worth the money.
Please note that this is newly started cruise. Even if we have 2 people on board we did not cancel but operate a big cruise just for 2 person which is actually commendable. However, we are looking forward to improve our cruise daily and your suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks
Great service, nice food. Lovely night views of the surrounding areas. Music was very calming , made the whole experiance even better

The rides are phenomenal, an experience that you need to experience yourself to understand. The diverse selection of rides/roller coasters made this place more fun, especially the thrill from each one of them, as I’d love to visit Yas Island again with my friends!

Everything was very well organized. The hosts were kind and knowledgeable. Everything was amazing a great trip from start to finish. Pick up and drop off at hotel, nice views on the trip, lovely snorkeling places, good lunch and snack - overall a great experience for a good price at Yas island.
