Popular Nature & Adventure in Dubai Marina

Reasonably priced and a fun trip. The communication is pretty low though. Upon check-in, nothing is explained. Just given a piece of paper and told "sign". Then nothing. No explanation of how long we are waiting, where to go, what to expect, absolutely nothing. After about 15 minutes, they said "come" and walked toward the beach. Motioned for us to get on a smaller boat and took us out about 100 meters to a bigger boat and then motioned for us to get on. After loaded, they take off out into the bay blaring hip hop music at an insane volume. It was just my family of 4 and 1 other lady. They never once asked or cared if we wanted music or the volume. Again, no verbal interchange at all. After about 15 minutes we stop and he motions for us to stand and puts harnesses on us. We had no choice but to go up tandem, even thought that was never mentioned. We get strapped in and the ride was enjoyable. Poor communication and poor explanation of solo vs tandem options.

When we went on our scheduled timing we were surprised with the guy on the reception desk telling us that the trip was cancelled because of the high sea waves!! We were very very disappointed as our hotel was long distance far away and we paid a lot for a taxi (120 AED) They told us that the options that we have either to cancel the trip and get a refund or to postpone to next day. We chose to postpone and returned back to our hotel with another expensive taxi.. Such bad organisation ruined one day of our vacation in Dubai.

It was a nice trip though a few points could still be improved. Info about meeting point could be more precise, i.e. Pier 7, by Exclusive Yachts stand/kiosk, as I haven't seen any red carpet, lounge or specific banner and thought I could be in the wrong place. Also, it was really hot and I could use the airconditioned lounge, never saw one. Otherwise all went fine.

One of the important think to see Dubai is marina tour over the water so we took this tour and it has become best of our trip. The speed boat is wonderful with wonderful crew. The crew was very friends and had lots of knowledge about what we were seeing during the crew. They captures wonderful videos to capture wonderful moments,

Best to book the late afternoon or early morning slot as it is ROASTING during the mid-day. Sit in middle or the back of the boat unless your desperate to experience all the bumps and get soaked (we sat at the back). Great service from the experienced captain and deputy.
