Low class service. No you to Dubai standards
Horrible and no serious company. I booked the excursion for 6 PM , yet they didn't pick my family and I up. I texted and called the company and they hanged up on me. They didn't respond on promptly. When they finally responded it was to tell me that they would be at my hotel for the 8 PM excursion. My wife was very hungry and angry as we supposed celebrate my birthday. Horrible experience. Don't trust this company. When they offer no refunds, that tells you everything
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, all feedback is important to us and we’re sorry to hear you’ve had such an experience. As you can hopefully see from our other reviews, your situation is the exception and far from our usual high standards. This makes us a little disappointed though we've tried our best to provide the service on time and unfortunately didn't meet your expectations. First of all, we've already informed you that the transfer is on sharing basis & it will take time to reach your location. Secondly, you didn't inform us about your special day, if we were aware of that then definitely we will arrange a private transfer for you. Unfortunately, we were unable to arrange better service for you as we were not informed by you about your special day.

Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Dhow Cruise at Marina start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
