Seaplane Tour to Dubai from Abu Dhabi and Al Maha Wildlife Drive

Summary

Make your own way to Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi to check in for your flight, then hop aboard a Cessna 9-seater seaplane and enjoy an exhilarating water takeoff. Admire the aerial views on the flight, soaring over Yas Island, Palm Jumeirah, and the World Islands, and spotting famous Dubai landmarks like Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, and Dubai Marina. After you touch down on the waters of Dubai Creek, a driver will be waiting to take you out into the desert. Relax on the drive into the Dubai Conservation Reserve, then arrive at the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa, a luxurious resort in the heart of the Dubai Desert. After a welcome drink, get set for another exciting adventure—a wildlife safari through the desert. Look out for wildlife such as Arabian Oryx and gazelles as you drive around the palm oasis and through the dunes, then return to the resort to enjoy an indulgent afternoon tea. With your appetite sated, spend some time relaxing by the resort pool or perhaps book in for a massage or spa treatment (not included; payable direct). Finally, zip up the dunes in a 4x4 to watch the sunset as you sip a glass of Champagne. Return to Abu Dhabi by private vehicle, where your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel. Please note: Children below the age of 10 years are not permitted at the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa Dubai.
