Sir Bani Yas Island Cruises

In complete contrast to the awesome metropolis city of nearby Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas is a tranquil island oasis. Yet don’t be deceived – there’s plenty of opportunity for adventure during your port visit. Half of the island is covered by the Arabian Wildlife Park, an incredible nature reserve where you’ll find thousands of animals living. Safari tours are often available, giving you the chance to see amazing wildlife up close, including gazelles, the Arabian Oryx and the Sudan cheetah.

Of course you may opt to simply relax on the beach, with its white sands and warm waters offering the ideal place to sunbathe beneath a palm tree or take a dip. And there’s a wealth of water sports available too for those who wish to get active, whether that’s snorkelling or scuba diving on the shores or taking a spectacular guided kayak tour through the mangroves. If you’re feeling particularly energetic, then there are some fantastic mountain biking routes available for both beginners and more advanced riders, showcasing the beautiful scenery of the island.

The currency on Sir Bani Yas Island is the UAE Dirham. Sir Bani Yas Island is 4 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +4).
