What you can expect
Meet your friendly guides at Al Bandar marina, who will show you how to operate your own Rhino Rider speedboat. After a quick safety and operational briefing, hop onto your boat and navigate out of the marina and cruise around Yas Island.
Test the maximum speed of your Rhino Rider as you zoom through the bay and pass by iconic landmarks like “The Giant Statue” and the awe-inspiring “Mangrove Alley”, a 3-kilometer stretch of mangrove trees flanking both sides so keep your eyes peeled for wildlife surprises – you never know what critters might pop out to say hello!
Next up, it's flamingo-spotting time at our second stop, followed by a scenic tour alongside the Yas Island Golf Course, with the Ferrari World Theme Park serving as the perfect backdrop for your selfies.
As you make your way to “Peninsula Gold Beach” for a refreshing swim or a laid-back picnic, soak in the beauty of the mangrove trees up close. Then, hop back on your Rhino saddle and rev up the excitement as you head to Heritage Island, where traditional UAE architecture and wildlife such as ostriches and gazelle sightings await.
Last but not least, cruise up close and personal past modern marvels like the award winning circular building, egg-shaped high-rises, and a stunning lineup of towers along the Al Raha Creek canal – it's like a mini Venice right here in Abu Dhabi!
So grab your sunglasses, pack your sense of adventure, and get ready to ride the waves in style with Rhino Riders – because the only thing better than being on the water is being in control of the fun!
