Great boat tour
We had a thrilling boat tour around The Palm! Jon & Max, our guide and captain, were fantastic! They provided a overview of the sights, were attentive to our needs (providing water and ensuring the speed of the boat was to our liking) and stopped at all the sights and took some great photos. Our boys, 19 and 21 years old, said this was one of the highlights of our holiday. Definitely recommend Yellow Boats.

Unforgettable Experience Around The Palm!
Fantastic boat tour around The Palm! We truly enjoyed our boat tour around The Palm in Dubai. The views were absolutely breathtaking — from the impressive skyline to the iconic Atlantis Hotel. What made the experience even more special was the attentive guide and captain, Prince & Max! They shared interesting information about the sights, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and even took some great photos for us. Everything was handled very professionally and with a relaxed atmosphere. A definite must-do for anyone who wants to discover Dubai from the water!
