Dhow Cruise

Alan_C, May 2025

A bit of a mix-up on this one. We booked for the cruise at Al Seef and were taken to the Dubai Marina so missed out on the views of the Old Town we’d been looking forward to. I contacted the operator the next day, and received an apology and an offer of a complimentary re-booking for the Al Seef cruise on our next visit so can’t really complain and can’t comment on the cruise from Al Seef - as we missed it.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the mix-up — it was indeed the driver’s mistake that you were dropped off at the Dubai Marina cruise location instead of Al Seef. We understand how disappointing it must have been to miss the views of the Old Town that you were looking forward to. We’re glad our team was able to connect with you and offer a complimentary re-booking for the Al Seef cruise on your next visit. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again to provide the experience you originally planned. Please feel free to reach out to us directly when you return — we’ll ensure everything goes perfectly next time. Warm regards, Good Sky Tourism Team

great value

CARLOS_C, Apr 2025

nice boat ride around the creek, the food was fine, and the entertainment was fun. The crew was friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be to have a big sign outside the boat to make it easier to find the boat.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. We're constantly working to improve our services; your comments are valuable in helping us do so.

Comeplete rip off

Eszter_M, Mar 2025

It was a rip off. They misinformed me about the departure deck where we were waiting for one hour pre departure. Eventually the boat left from another deck without us, no one was looking for is and another passengers who went through the same. When I told them I would like a refund, they even started blaming us why we didn’t call them to see there are any changes. We were informed in advance, therefore, we didn’t have a reason to suspect any change. I would like a full refund, not to mention the inconvenience we had that night without dinner. The fact that they started blaming us instead of apologizing and offering refund, tells me everything. AVOID.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Guest, We sincerely apologize that due to some technical problem they departed from the cruise from different gate, but be assured that this will not happen next time and we are constantly trying to improve our services and make it easier and better for our customers. And you could have also called us directly when the cruise was not there. Note: We have already initiated refund for your booking, please contact them from where you booked the cruise, they will provide you full refund. Thanks for your feedback.

Amazing Anniversary Celebration on the Dhow Cruise!

Brandon_J, Feb 2025

We had a fantastic experience on this Dhow Dinner Cruise! The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. They went out of their way to acknowledge our anniversary, which made the evening even more special. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was great, and the service was excellent. It was a perfect way to celebrate, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful touches. Highly recommend for a memorable evening!

Great night’s craic

joanne_m, Feb 2025

Pick up was 30 minutes late but traffic was very heavy. Great driver. We were accompanied directly to the boat. We were lucky enough to be there when the marina boat show was ending so were trested to an anaxing fireworks display. Food on board was really very very good, staff very kind and attentive. Entertainment was fantastic. We met so many lovely folks. Cheap and fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for giving your valuable time and giving us such a great review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and like the Cruise. Thank you.

Nous sommes arrivés les...

Alain_L, Jan 2025

Nous sommes arrivés les premiers pour embarquer sur le bateau. Nous espérions être à l'extérieur au premier étage. Le placier pour des raisons qui nous sont inconnues en a décidé autrement et malgré notre demande avec le sourire..... Et nous avons été à l'intérieur, alors que d'autres personnes arrivant beaucoup plus tard ont eu la chance d'être sur le pont. Notre expérience a été de ce fait gâchée car à travers les vitres impossible de prendre des photos, de plus la salle est extrêmement bruyante, alors que sur le pont c'était beaucoup plus romantique...

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We are so sorry to hear about your experience. It is frustrating when things don't go as planned, especially when you have tried to get to the best spot early. We can understand being stuck inside, with limited photo opportunities and a noisy environment, but you could have walked both the upper and lower decks. We hope you were able to enjoy some part of the trip despite that disappointment. Thanks for sharing your experience - hopefully future trips will be even more fun!

Ça passe à faire une fois

Ahmed_N, Jan 2025

Bonne ambiance, chaises pas confortable par contre. Repas culinaire très traditionnel type indien, pakistanais.. musique très forte les hauts parleurs ne sont pas réglées à juste hauteur. Beaucoup de musique bollywoodienne, nous avons eu l’impression d’être les seuls touristes..
