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.

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.

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?

This was our first time in Abu Dhabi and the boat ride was honestly the highlight! I went with my husband and two teens. Crew was super attentive (even had sunblock if you forgot yours). My daughter got a bit seasick at first but the guide gave her some tips and she was fine. We got to see some crazy luxury yachts up close. Don’t wear a hat unless it ties down—mine flew off in the wind. Would recommend for families.

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!
