Fabulous trip full circle...

Suzanne_S, Dec 2023

Fabulous trip full circle around the marina, the views were fantastic and the boat was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Underwhelming Ride

Todd_K, Nov 2023

If you must book this cruise, arrive early, as the boat is extremely difficult to find. Even after getting directions over the phone, I struggled to find it. Billed as an hour-long cruise, it was closer to 30 minutes. The boat travels up and down the Gulf, paralleling the Marina, but it does not enter the canal. A decent route but far from the most interesting.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Kindly be aware that our 1-hour sightseeing cruise has a duration of 60 minutes, during which we cover various landmarks such as Ain Dubai, JBR, and other skyscrapers in the Marina area. Additionally, music is provided on board for your enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are unsure as to why a negative comment was received regarding our route.

Disappointed

MrsSandraC_S, Nov 2022

Very disappointed as we were unable to find location. Had a taxi from downtown Dubai and arrived just after 3pm. Information on marina told us 20 mins that way. Next another information told us 25 minutes another way

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Matthew_P, Apr 2022

Fabulous service. We were the only 2 tourists on the 2pm trip! And it still set sale. So really exclusive and fantastic sights. Thanks for running it with just us, really enjoyed it, and it we would recommend it as a 'must do' to anyone.
