Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Meet your skipper at Abu Dhabi Marina, and after a safety briefing, don your provided life vest. Then, climb aboard your state-of-the-art, bright yellow RIB.

Grasp the clutch rail as the skipper revs the engine and your boat motors into the marina bay. Soak in the views of the dome of the monumental Emirates Palace hotel, and then pick up speed as your craft heads onto the waters of the sparkling Arabian Gulf.

Speed along the coast, passing the Abu Dhabi Heritage Village, a replica of a traditional oasis village, and the palms and golden sands of the Corniche, Abu Dhabi’s 5-mile (8 kilometer) waterfront. 

Pause to snap photos of the high-rises that tower above the beaches and listen as your skipper tells tales of Abu Dhabi’s innovative architecture. Then, watch for dolphins swimming by the boat as you cruise around Lulu Island. Admire the pristine, palm-fringed beaches and the panoramas of Abu Dhabi’s skyline stretched along the horizon.

Afterward, moor back at the marina, where your cruise ends.

Please note: Only the 90-minute tour passes the Grand Mosque.

This was a wonderful experience to see the beautiful Abu Dhabi shoreline in an hour. We didn't have enough time to spare before we board our cruise ship in the afternoon. Our group of six were dealt with utmost professionalism, courtesy and hospitality. Our tour guide/boat captain, Danny, also our cameraman at times was very knowledgeable of the landscape and the history behind it we couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended! One minor drawback: very hard to find a taxi going back to our hotel.

Great - Great - Great - it went from better to better and then to even more than I could ever expect. First we booked with only 1hr to the tour time. It worked and I con an email confirmation on my way to the venue. Getting there by taxi - wow it was a private marina - my name was at the door like a VIP. - The boat was great. not an old clunker but a really fast exciting craft. - lastly captain Dany was outstanding. Giving us a beautifully explanation of the sites and history of the wonderful Abu-Dhabi. Price to experience - There is no question it is worth the money.
