Had a different expectation
We were completely alone on the Dhow, which was certainly due to the circumstances, but we had hoped for more. No explanations and only went up on one side and down on the other. We thought it would go around Yas Island and that there would be explanations about the theme parks, etc. Therefore, only a 3 Stefan and Melli

Abu Dhabi Boat Cruise

Very good
Had the boat to myself, very friendly and helpful. Shame that no one spoke about the history and the buildings we pasted would be more interesting. It was still lovely and really enjoyable 😃
Operator response
Sounds like a peaceful and pleasant trip, even if a bit more commentary would’ve added to the experience. Glad it was still really enjoyable for you. Mimi

Relaxing cruise
Fantastic little hour cruise, loads to see on the way. Friendly staff. Pick up point needs to be more clear. Boat not in main marina, it took us 20 minuets to find the boat however it was well worth it.
