Yellow Boats Abu Dhabi is a high-speed sightseeing cruise aboard a bright yellow rigid inflatable boat (RIB), with routes departing from Emirates Palace Marina and Yas Island. Depending on the route, the ride lasts between 45 and 99 minutes, cutting across Abu Dhabi's waters at speed, with safety jackets provided throughout.

Once underway, an expert skipper takes the boat out into the Arabian Gulf, picking up speed as you clear the marina. Hold on as the boat cuts through the water, with the wind picking up around you and spray coming off the sides on the faster stretches. Along the way, you get open views of Abu Dhabi's waterfront landmarks, including Emirates Palace, Heritage Village and the man-made Lulu Island, all visible from the water without any buildings blocking the view. Dolphins are sometimes spotted along the route. Throughout the ride, your guide points out the sights and shares background on what you are passing, so you can follow along as the boat moves from one landmark to the next.

Complement this water adventure with a scenic Dubai Fountain Lake Ride from Abu Dhabi for a contrasting yet equally captivating experience.
