Underwhelming Ride - If you must book this cruise, arrive early, as the boat is extremely difficult to find. Even after getting directions over the phone, I struggled to find it. Billed as an hour-long cruise, it was closer to 30 minutes. The boat travels up and down the Gulf, paralleling the Marina, but it does not enter the canal. A decent route but far from the most interesting.

Avoid afternoon slots; these should not be advertised at all - We took the 3pm cruise around Marina but it there seemed to be no planning or coordination. It took off 25 minutes late, the staff sent us to three different boars before deciding which one was the right one, there was zero communication from anyone. The staff was preparing the tables and boat during the whole excursion,presumably for the more popular evening shows, and it just felt like the afternoon spots were just a way to monetize the time while staff was doing prep. The tour company should not be running these afternoon trips if they're not going to prepare for them.

Disappointed - Very disappointed as we were unable to find location. Had a taxi from downtown Dubai and arrived just after 3pm. Information on marina told us 20 mins that way. Next another information told us 25 minutes another way
