Everything worked perfect. The boat ride was as expected fast and we really liked it. One thing which they could improve is to tell more about the coast line. For example they just said about the Atlantis the Palm Hotel how much rooms it has and how much the president suit costs. For me it would have been interesting to know, when was the artificial palm built, how much sand did they use, where did they take the sand from etc.

Activity to do!! The staff is available and slows down the boat when they see you want to take pictures. The duration is largely satisfactory to enjoy the view of the city, the Burj Al Arab, the Atlantis hotel and others. Once again the accompanying people are too much and even offers to take pictures of you at the points of interest. Nothing to add it was perfect

it was awesome. We had arrived 5min late so unfortunately the boat had left but they accepted without problem to allow us to participate in the next session, it was very nice of them. we had a good laugh with my husband when the boat went at high speed, he even made turns in the water, it was a thrilling game.
