This is one of the best ways to experience Abu Dhabi’s incredible, contrasting landscapes. Enjoy a bird's eye view of the archipelago with Seawings, the Arabian Gulf’s only seaplane tour operator. 

The 30-minute Seawings Abu Dhabi Classic Tour takes in Abu Dhabi's key attractions in just one scenic flight, taking off and landing on the waters of Yas Marina aboard a nine-seat, Cessna 208 amphibious plane. Soak up panoramic views of Emirates Palace, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit, Sheikh Zayed Bridge, Zayed Port, Saadiyat Island and the Corniche. The trip offers fantastic photo opportunities of the emirate’s shimmering turquoise waters and incredible jewel-hued mangroves that dot the shoreline. 

Seawings also offers an Abu Dhabi Private Tour, featuring the same itinerary as the Abu Dhabi Classic Tour over a relaxed half an hour, except you’ll have the whole plane to yourself. There’s also the Private Tour to Sir Bani Yas Island, a pristine nature reserve home to 17,000-plus free-roaming animals situated 170km from Abu Dhabi. Sir Bani Yas Island is the perfect destination for a day trip, extended weekend, or to celebrate a special occasion.

If you’re after a truly magical experience, a memorable way to propose, or the ideal way to celebrate a big life event, Seawings’ aerial tours are perfect.
