Traveler reviews
Amazing a highlight!!
amazing, perhaps our biggest highlight of our trip. Went with 2 children, ages 11 and 14.
Only half the tour that was promised
I enquired about which tour would visit the Palm, see the Atlantis etc and I was shown a map of the tour for this trip. The map showed that the tour started in the Marina, went around the Palm clockwise, and then reversed, and went back around the Palm anti-clockwise. What actually happened (and I have a suspicion that this was because there were only 8 of us in total on the boat), we went around the Palm clockwise, then cut back through the Marina to the start/end point. When I queried this back at the ticket booth, I was fobbed off. Very disappointed. Half the fun, and all the sightseeing was for one side of the boat only.
More Chill than Speed!
We arrived to be informed that the speedboat had been cancelled due to weather. It would have been nice to know this before we travelled across Dubai so that we could have made alternative plans. However, we were put onto a boat cruise for 2hrs instead and that was very good……much more relaxed. Crew were excellent with a lovely breakfast served.
Great experience
