Adrenaline, Safety, and Awesome Action
One of the things I always look for during leisure activities is safety and security, and Seamocean definitely delivered both while still keeping the fun at its peak. The experience was truly adrenaline-rushing, especially close to sunset, which made the whole setting even more breathtaking. The Sea Camel boat was fast, clean, and most importantly, felt very safe throughout the ride. If you’re there for water activities, you absolutely have to try the Sea Camel experience. Special thanks to Rene for the great presentation, smooth coordination, and pleasant attitude, and to Thithi for the amazing guidance and enjoyable company during the ride.

If you only do one activity make sure it’s this one
Had the greatest time. Boats are really safe and the guides are brilliant. One of our group can’t swim and she said it was the best thing she’s done for years.
K
Best water.
Best experience on water. We tried various water activities and jet skis. This one was the best. It was excellent and guide was very helpful.
P
Very nice activity, beautiful sensations and pleasant way to discover Dubai from the sea
Seamocean is a very serious and professional company. Very nice staff. The camel boat is a very nice activity, combining speed without taking risks. A nice way to discover a part of Dubai from the sea. I recommend
J
An unmissable tour with a boat that you drive yourself.
A tour you should do. Accompanied by your tour guide, a tour of highlights of Dubai. From the water is very different sight and therefore highly recommended. Unfortunately, we can't remember the name of our tour guide.
J
Just a great experience! Must do
Really nice. Cross full throttle on the ocean and see several places from the water. Our guides (sorry forgot his name) were great. Would do it again
H
Amazing boats
Man what an amazing ride this was. The speed boats were fast and we really got to open them up out on the sea. The guide was very awesome and helpful. If your in Dubai you must book these sea camel. You won't regret it ever
N
Must do in Dubai
Great 1 hour speedboat tour with Pramith - our girls (12 and 17) enjoyed tubing off the back of the boat while we zipped around and saw a bit of Dubai with an ice cold drink - would definitely recommend
Operator response
