    A great evening and enjoyable cruise up the creek where only the smaller Dhows can travel. Very friendly crew and the food was fine. Excellent hotel pick up and drop off.

    Worst experience
    Waheed_A, Feb 2024
    Worst experience food was disappointing, everything bad totally waste of money I am frequent traveller and experienced many dinner cruises but this one was worst
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear guest, we want to assure you that our catering services are of the highest quality, derived from a reputable five-star hotel. Our menu boasts a diverse range of international cuisine, including a variety of Arabic dishes. It is important to note that unlike many other dhow cruises, our focus is not solely on serving Indian food. If our offerings did not meet your expectations in this regard, we apologize for any disappointment caused. However, we would appreciate it if you could kindly provide more details about your experience, as you only mentioned dissatisfaction with the food itself. We would like to address any other concerns or shortcomings you may have encountered to ensure we provide a comprehensive improvement plan going forward. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
    Not worth the price.
    CHARLIE_V, Oct 2023
    There was nothing memorable about the cruise. The food was not international as stated in the ad. They were all Indian. I am not really a big fan of Indian food because it has lots of spices and tend to be hot. Likewise, there was no live entertainment at all. So better avoid this cruise and find some better alternatives with cheaper price. This tour is clearly overpriced.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Dissapointing.
    Roshan_R, Jul 2023
    The price I was charged for 2 of us was USD 160 (USD 80 Per person). However we realized that the same cruise was charging only USD 40 each person. They did not even mention pick up time and there was a lot of confusion. I almost missed the cruise dinner due to lack of coordination and regretted booking this package.

    Pleasant boat ride
    Melvin_G, Jun 2023
    A very pleasant boat ride with decent buffet dinner. The tour was very accommodating in allowing me to change the cruise date and pick up locations depsite earlier confirmations. In terms of value for money, this aspect could be improved by offering better food and/or offering live music or performances. On balance, satisfied with the cruise.

    Perfect little dinner cruise.
    Stephen_C, Mar 2023
    We had a wonderful relaxed evening celebrating my wife's 50th on this cruise. The food was excellent and the staff were professional and polite, without being overbearing. One of the best things, for me, was that the music was kept to a nice low level, not thumping out like on some of the other boats. Our transport to and from the hotel was excellent and our driver was professional and knowlegable. We arrived at the creek about 45 munutes before boarding. This gave us time to wander around the tourist shops, selling the usual things. Be prepared to be tutted at if you politely decline an invitation to look 'around my shop.' This isn't to detract from the cruise itself in any way. One thing I would definitely do again next time I'm in Dubai.

    After 24 years of marriage, we felt the same as at the beginning of our relationship. The personnel have 12 points from 10 from us.

    Just a lovely evening in Dubai
    Maria_G, Dec 2022
    Lovely evening on this cruise. Just what we needed after a long busy day. Went for a relaxing ride up and down the active creek. Dinner was extensive and delicious. The service was great. I would recommend this tour to all.

    Dubai Creek Dinner Cruise
    Dan_P, May 2021
    The trip up and down the creek at night was amazing. The scenery in the evening is beautiful. Our only complaint was our driver went the wrong way and added over a half hour each direction to our commute including a stop for gas on the way back.
    Last night fun
    Andrea_J, Mar 2021
    It was great. It was our last night in Dubai and we really enjoyed it. The food was good, they charge extra if you want to drink alcohol. We got some nice pics taken...overall I couldn't complain
    Misfortunes of a cruise
    jaideep_S, Dec 2020
    The anticipation of going on a Dhow but it was a big let down. Poor food, poor hospitality, the list goes on.
    Great Cruise!
    MICHAEL_L, Dec 2019
    Good value for money, a very pleasant cruise with awesome buffet food, my daughter loved those chocolate pastries.
    Es war nett, man muss es aber nicht gemacht haben
    Olga_N, Nov 2022
    Die Fahrt war ganz nett, aber der Preis für das angebotene Essen und alles Drumherum ist definitiv zu hoch. Das Personal war aber sehr bemüht

Nous nous efforçons de créer un environnement où les clients peuvent profiter de leur nourriture et passer du temps avec des amis dans un cadre animé sans se sentir submergés par le bruit ou d'autres distractions, nous nous excusons donc si nous avons raté la cible. Comme ce n'est pas typique de notre camp, nous aimerions avoir l'occasion de vous parler davantage de ce qui s'est passé afin de mieux comprendre la situation. Veuillez nous contacter afin que nous puissions convenir d'un moment pour discuter davantage.
