Meeting and Check-in

Meet at our HERO HQ at the Fishing Harbour 2 in Umm Suqeim. Our Guides will be eagerly awaiting your arrival and will welcome you to our departure point from the rustic and thriving fishing village. HERO HQ shares the harbour with local fisherman, fishing boats, a diverse fish market, and the authentic fishing dhows known as “lanshs.” Enjoy a quick stroll around the harbour to get a look into Dubai’s ancient fishing trade and cultural roots. Take a few shots and learn a bit about this traditional sea community.

Introduction and Safety Briefing

Our HERO Guides will get you kitted out with a life jacket and give you a quick and entertaining safety briefing. The briefing includes everything you need to know to ensure a safe and fun adventure at sea. The Guide will make sure you are comfortable on your assigned user-friendly HERO boat and will give you a chance to have a test spin. Once you are happy and confident with driving the boat, you will follow your Guide out the harbour and into the great blue waters of the Arabian Gulf.

The Adventure Begins – Dubai’s Iconic Coastline

Follow your Guide out of the Fishing Harbour on a thrilling adventure along Dubai’s chic Kite Beach. This long white and trendy beach is where residents and visitors to Dubai flock to get a taste of the exciting beach-holiday atmosphere amid trendy cafes and quirky food trucks. Kite beach is renowned for its range of activities including kite surfing, beach tennis, beach volleyball, and kayaking. The beautiful mosque in the backdrop makes this a truly captivating Middle Eastern scene. After taking in the stunning views of this fascinating beach, you continue the journey towards the stylish Burj Al Arab.

The Burj Al Arab, - Dubai’s Famous 7-Star Hotel

Famously known as the only 7-star hotel in the world, this lavish landmark in Dubai is known for its distinctive sail-shaped silhouette and glamorous interior. Similar to London’s Big Ben and Paris’s Eiffel Tower, it has become an iconic symbol of modern Dubai. Standing on a triangular man-made island, Burj Al Arab is normally not accessible to the public. HERO boats get up close with a unique waterfront view for the ultimate shot of this architectural wonder! You may even get a glimpse of a helicopter landing on its roof-top helipad or a celebrity sunning themselves on the terrace of the exclusive resort beach club.

Atlantis, The Palm – Dubai’s Most Instagrammed Hotel

The lavish marine-themed resort is the iconic crown jewel of The Palm Jumeirah and combines luxury with a whole host of unique attractions that live up to its myth. It was the first resort to be built on the island, themed on the myth of Atlantis inspired by the ocean and its wondrous marine life. It majestically stands on the Palm crescent with all its fairytale magic, stunning views – and continues to enchant as it offers you some of the best photo opportunities in Dubai.
