    What our guests say

    Mar 2026
    Honestly, didn't expect to LOVE a boat tour this much. Went with my boyfriend, and from the start, the crew (shoutout to Shad and Miko) were just so friendly. We got those snug yellow lifejackets (which, lol, looked ridiculous on me but safety first). The guide gave us little stories about random buildings—one even looks like a giant coin?! Water was provided, and they kept checking if everyone was okay. We zipped around some fancy yachts, felt a bit like celebs. Got a little splashy but nothing major. If you want epic sunset pics, go for the evening slot (they'll even help take your photos). Only thing, the engine's pretty loud, so don't expect to have deep convos. Still, 10/10 for the views and vibes.

    What a DAY! Took my parents, who are both in their sixties, and they managed fine even with the speed. Our guide, Ramesh, was hilarious—kept cracking dad jokes. We stopped for photos at this spot where you could see all of Yas Island. Water bottles were a nice touch. If you burn easily, bring sunscreen (I’m pink now). Crew made sure everyone was safe, and let my mom sit up front for the view. Def worth it.
    Feb 2026
    I went for my birthday with two friends. SO FUN! The guide let us stand (briefly) at the front for photos, and the wind was wild lol. Loved hearing about the architecture, especially the hotel shaped like a grid (forgot the name). We even saw dolphins! Bring a hair tie if you have long hair, trust me. Staff gave us cold water and even offered to take group shots. Loved every minute.
    Feb 2026
    Went solo cuz my friends bailed last min (thx a lot guys), but didn’t regret it. Boat was super fast – maybe a bit too bumpy for some, but I liked the thrill. Crew explained stuff, half of which I forgot tbh, but the skyline was coool. Only downside: you can’t bring snacks on board (was starving lol). Would go again, maybe with company next time.
    Feb 2026
    Hmm, mixed feelings. The boat was clean and staff friendly, but felt a bit rushed between stops and didn’t really get time to soak in the sights. Also, the engine noise made it hard to hear guide sometimes. Still, cool seeing the city from the water. Maybe better on a less busy day?
  • Zip Past Iconic Creations

    Board your speedboat at the premier waterfront leisure center of Yas Bay Waterfront, and settle in for some fancy views and interesting history of the luxury island. Etihad Arena, located at the waterfront, is the largest entertainment venue in the Middle East and hosts a wide range of shows - from concerts to stand-up comedy. Next, view the distinctive Aldar Headquarters which boasts a circular building. Live commentary provided by your professional guide will help you uncover Arabian culture and traditions.

    Take the Full Tour for Even More!

    Take the 75-minute visit to stop by even more attractions like the iconic parks of Yas Waterworld and Ferrari World. Yas Links Golf Club has serene courses set against the backdrop of a shimmering Arabian Sea. The Jubail Mangrove National Park at Yas Island is a hidden gem, containing about 75% of the UAE’s total mangrove forest area. As a biodiversity hotspot that includes salt marshes, mudflats, and algal communities, it is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Similarly, the isolated Samaliyah Island also has a thriving ecosystem. On this journey, you will have the chance to spot dolphins, flamingos, crabs, turtles, herons, and dugongs as well as foxes!
