Abu Dhabi RIB Sightseeing Boat Cruise
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Cruise through the waters of the Persian Gulf on this 60- or 90-minute RIB (rigid-inflatable boat) cruise along the Abu Dhabi coast. Climb into your bright yellow powerboat with an experienced skipper at the wheel and hit the open water. Snap panoramic views of the city’s futuristic skyscrapers along the Corniche, cruise around Lulu Island, and admire the Emirates Palace and Heritage Village. Enjoy the sea spray and coastal breezes, and watch for dolphins in the Gulf as you go.
Meet your skipper at Abu Dhabi Marina, pull on a supplied lifejacket and board your top-of-the-line, bright yellow RIB. Listen to a safety briefing and hold on to the clutch rail as your craft slips away from its mooring into the Arabian Gulf.
With a fully qualified skipper at the wheel, cruise into the marina bay and admire the gigantic Emirates Palace, with its tiers of arched windows and impressive domes.
As you cruise, enjoy complimentary bottled water and watch for pods of dolphins playing in the waves. Pass the Abu Dhabi Heritage Village, a reconstruction of a traditional oasis village with old fishing boats on the beach, and then, continue to the Corniche, Abu Dhabi’s 5-mile (8 km) palm-dotted promenade. Admire its beaches and parks and the forest of skyscrapers that provide a towering, 21st-century backdrop. Take photos from this spectacular vantage point as your skipper shares fascinating insights about city’s development and architecture.
Venture onwards and circuit Lulu Island, the man-made island that basks in the waters facing the city. Cruise past its beaches and gardens and hear how it’s currently being developed with residential and leisure facilities.
Your cruise experience ends when you leave your boat at the jetty.
Please note that only the 90-minute tour passes the Grand Mosque.
We really enjoyed our trip with Daniel, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. A great way to see the city and surrounding areas of Abu Dhabi.

great trip when we eventually found the marina. We were provided wrong instructions from viator. Told to go to gate 2 and it as gate 3.

This was a wonderful experience to see the beautiful Abu Dhabi shoreline in an hour. We didn't have enough time to spare before we board our cruise ship in the afternoon. Our group of six were dealt with utmost professionalism, courtesy and hospitality. Our tour guide/boat captain, Danny, also our cameraman at times was very knowledgeable of the landscape and the history behind it we couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended! One minor drawback: very hard to find a taxi going back to our hotel.

Great - Great - Great - it went from better to better and then to even more than I could ever expect. First we booked with only 1hr to the tour time. It worked and I con an email confirmation on my way to the venue. Getting there by taxi - wow it was a private marina - my name was at the door like a VIP. - The boat was great. not an old clunker but a really fast exciting craft. - lastly captain Dany was outstanding. Giving us a beautifully explanation of the sites and history of the wonderful Abu-Dhabi. Price to experience - There is no question it is worth the money.

Super toll

Great tour. Unfortunately the location of the marina makes it very hard to get a taxi. There are no signs to the yellow boat office and we waited one hour for a taxi to take us back to our hotel. This needs to be fixed.

This boat ride is a must do. The water, the landscape, and Danny the Captain are a memory you'll not forget. Danny thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

Really enjoyed this tour. Seeing Abu Dhabi from the sea was very interesting but Danny also gave an excellent running commentary as to sights and scenes. Very safe and well controlled trip

We had a great time, Danny our captain for the trip was professional, polite and informative. The crossing in the open water was a bit bumpy but we all enjoyed it, it doesn't take long to get dry!
