Private Dubai Seaplane Flight
A take-off straight from the water and about twenty minutes above the Palm, the World Islands and the Burj Khalifa, the whole aircraft yours.
Few first impressions of Dubai match the one from a seaplane. You lift off directly from the water and, within moments, the coast falls away beneath the floats: the fronds of Palm Jumeirah, the scattered World Islands, the marina towers and, in the distance, the fine point of the Burj Khalifa. For roughly twenty minutes the city is laid out through panoramic windows, a view no observation deck can offer. The aircraft is small and the whole cabin is held for your group, so the experience feels less like a tour and more like a private flight of your own.

Where does the seaplane take off from?
It lifts off directly from a calm stretch of water, so the take-off and landing are part of the experience rather than a runway you never see.
How long is the flight itself?
The flying time is about twenty minutes, and you should allow roughly two hours in all for check-in, the briefing, boarding and the return to the dock.
Is the flight suitable for children?
Yes, children from four years old are welcome, and the panoramic windows make the view just as memorable for younger travellers as for adults.
