★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 89 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $30Our pick

Spend 90 minutes paddle boarding from Palm Jumeirah toward Atlantis, with calm water, skyline views, bottled water, showers, and instruction for beginners. Guides such as Pasindu, Pasida, Marvin, and Isuru have helped guests learn the basics and take photos along the route.

“The Activity was great, guide was super patient, very helpful. Exactly as we hoped.. the instructions however were terrible.. it said join at the Sofitel Hotel and the activity provider has moved from there 2-3 months ago... no one seemed to know where to go so the instructions do need to be changed, anyone in Dubai heading here be warned its not at the sofitel hotel any more.”
