Take to the skies above Dubai on a 40-minute seaplane flight, and enjoy incredible aerial views of the city’s finest attractions and flagship landmarks. Choose from one of four start times, enjoy a thrilling water take-off, and then soar around the city’s gravity-defying skyscrapers such as Burj Khalifa—one of the world’s tallest buildings. View the archipelagos of Palm Jumeirah and The World, and gaze down at the bustle of Dubai Marina, Jebel Ali, Port Rashid and more!
Start your experience with a pickup from one of two Dubai locations, and then travel to the water’s edge to meet your pilot and state-of-the-art seaplane—a Cessna amphibian aircraft that flies and skims water, too. Hop aboard and take to the skies from the Arabian Gulf itself, skimming Dubai’s coastline.
Glide directly above some of Dubai’s most iconic developments such as Burj Khalifa, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, and the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab Hotel. Look out for the man-made Palm Jumeirah islands, enjoying aerial views of the tree-shaped archipelago that juts out to sea, and then cruise above The World to see nearly 300 luxurious islands formed like the continents of the world.
After circling above Port Rashid, head inland to admire views over Dubai Creek, home to the neighborhoods of Deira and Bur Dubai, and then loop around Dubai Marina. Gaze down at the glitzy canal area lined by luxury yachts and waterfront skyscrapers, and check out the hustle and bustle of Jebel Ali. The maritime marvel is Dubai’s trade hub and also one of the world’s busiest ports.
Soar above the port’s cargo ships, and then turn around to glide back to the waterfront. Finish your ride with an exhilarating sea landing, step on to dry land, and then travel back to the start point where your experience finishes.

Amazing experience. Check-in for the flight was easy and the staff were friendly, giving you a briefing of where you'll be flying and what you can see. You get incredible views over Dubai, especially of the palm! Would highly recommend.

Actual ride 30minutes, no narration, not worth the cost, not easy to find from downtown Dubai
Review by: Blanca, April 2014
Great experience! My first time on a seaplane, and loved it! It’s amazing to see Dubai from the air! My favourite views were the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al-Arab and the palm tree island from the sky. Definitely recommend it!

No clear view and quite short trip but expensive
Review by: steven d, January 2014

Review by: Alexandra M, January 2014
We loved the flight over Dubai by Seawings - it was good organised and the views on Dubai were just amazing. We felt quite safe and comfortable. We can recommend it to everyone, who wants to experience Dubai from another point of view.

- Had issues with the timings._br/_
- The voucher issued was for a specific timing, but the plane company indicated that it's first come first reservation._br/_
- Working with Viator they did indicate this disconnect and offered a refund option, but given planned schedule in Dubai we had to go with the available option._br/_
- though flight company tried their best and provided available options.

At first glance this seems expensive but it was worth every dirham. The only hiccup was that the confirmation number was not working as they have moved buildings which resulted in a panic purchase of a local sim card to get a data connection and send an email whilst shopping. _br/_
Otherwise everything went smoothly from the free pre flight drinks to the wonderful views and trip. Plenty of time was given to seeing Dubai and the Palm from many angles so that all on board had a great view. Very smooth flight and interesting sea landing at Jebel Ali. Don't let the haze put you off as it is better from the air.

Fantastic, my wife,s flight in the seaplane has earned me 1,000 browny points. Well worth the cost to see the beaming smile on her face.
Review by: Jason A, April 2013
Very professional and friendly staff...and the views are amazing! Expensive for a 40 minute trip but would do it again.
Review by: Marie H, April 2013
Very well organized, professional company, with much obvious attention to safety. Spectacular views and photo opportunities. Woul do it gain.
Review by: Krystal H, March 2013
Depends on what side of the airplane you sit on to really get a good view of the city. The pilot doesnt point anything out so you just have to be aware of what youre looking at. Sit all the way in the back for the best view.
Review by: Summitfly, February 2013
Amazing experience. Busy setting.._br/_
A must!!
Review by: michael b, January 2013
very expensive, but well worth doing
Review by: clive c, January 2013
This is a superb way to really appreciate the way that Dubai has developed over the last few years. You get an amazing view of The World and the Palm Islands, the race track and all of the tall towers.
Review by: Chris, September 2012
Smooth flight. Landmarks are not very visible with the pollution levels. Photo and certificate of flight cost extra. Polite and helpful staff.
Review by: Timothy H, December 2011
We had a wonderful flight!! Great views!! This was the first activity we did in Dubai and it helped us get acclimated to the area. All the personnel was very nice.
Review by: Darrienne T, October 2011
Very professional and friendly pilot. Flight has great safety focus. It was frustrating to have the flight time changed several times though.

Excellent!!
Review by: Caroline C, May 2011
Excellent experience and well worth doing. This tour gives you a full picture of Dubai, from old city to new city, development areas and housing areas along with amazing views of the tourist attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, World Islands and both palms. Professionally run and lots of fun. Be mindful of the location of take off as this is a taxi ride away from the city and took us around 15mins from the Atlantis costing less than £15 (can't remember exactly). Would definately recommend.
