Abu Dhabi Yellow Boats - Corniche Tour

Al Riyadah Street, Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi

Description

The 60mins Corniche Tour operated by Yellow Boats takes customers on a loop staying quite close to the shores of Abu Dhabi Island and taking on views of the Corniche, Etihad Towers, Qasr Al Watan, Lulu Island, the Fishermen's Village and the Emirates Palace. The captain will be providing live comment and customers will be boarding "Ribcrafts" (rigid inflatable boats). The operator also run other tours, including around Yas Island.

Access & Transport

The tour departs from Emirates Palace Marina, at the western edge of Abu Dhabi city, between the Emirates Palace and the Corniche Beach. There is free parking at Emirates Palace Marina

Instructions & Recommendations

Note that pregnant women and infant weighing less than 15kgs are not allowed on board for safety reasons. Mineral water will be provided on board

Meta review

Reviews for this tour operator are excellent: customers enjoy being able to see the city from an unfamiliar perspective and mention the friendly captain. Some also get lucky and spot dolphins. The main negative comment relates to the pricing with the headline rate being far too high so that it is necessary to look for discounts.

Environmental & Social

Boats run on fossil fuels. Neutral from a social perspective

Conclusion

The tours operated by Yellow Boats are a fun way to see Abu Dhabi's skyline, but we would not recommend it to first time tourists, especially at the headline price, as they are far more interesting things to see than a few skyscrapers, in our opinion. Rather, we think this is a clever way for residents or repeat visitors to get a new take on some of Abu Dhabi's famous landmarks and just have a fun boat ride.

Key positive

Great views and fun ride

Key negative

Expensive for such a short trip

Not an eco-friendly activity
