When it comes to thrilling experiences, Dubai doesn’t hold back. From flying high above the skyline to speeding through turquoise waters, the city is a playground for dreamers, explorers, and adrenaline seekers. If you’re planning your Dubai itinerary, here are the most exciting things to do — and trust us, it’s more than just shopping and skyscrapers.
1. Speedboat Tour with The Black Boats – A Ride Like No Other
Experience a fast boat trip on a speedboat and drive along the coast of Dubai. Enjoy breathtaking views of Dubai’s skyline and get up close to iconic landmarks like the Burj Al Arab, Atlantis The Palm, and Ain Dubai. Even the first few minutes through Dubai Marina are stunning, as you glide past luxury yachts and towering skyscrapers.
2. Skydive Over The Palm
Take your Dubai experience to new heights — literally. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned skydiver, there’s nothing like freefalling over the Palm Jumeirah with the Persian Gulf shimmering below you.
Pro tip: Book early — slots fill up fast!
3. Visit the Museum of the Future
Step into tomorrow with one of the most futuristic buildings in the world. With exhibitions on AI, space travel, sustainability, and more, the Museum of the Future is more than an architectural marvel — it’s a peek into what’s next for humanity.
4. Dive into Wonder at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
Located inside The Dubai Mall, this aquatic world takes you beneath the surface — literally. Home to thousands of marine creatures, the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a must-see for ocean lovers.
Tip: visit after sunset. The crowds die down, the mall takes on a calmer vibe, and you’ll have more time (and space) to take in the magic — especially if you want to explore the Underwater Tunnel or catch a glimpse of the majestic King Croc.
5. Desert Safari Adventure
Swap the skyscrapers for sand dunes and go off-road in a 4×4. From dune bashing and camel rides to traditional Bedouin dinners under the stars, a desert safari is the perfect way to explore Dubai’s roots with a twist of adventure.
But if you’re craving something a little wilder, head to Al Ain Zoo for a Night Safari. Step into the animal kingdom after dark and witness nocturnal animals come alive in their natural habitat. It’s educational, family-friendly, and totally magical under the moonlight.
6. Soak Up the Views from Burj Khalifa
At 828 meters, Burj Khalifa isn’t just the world’s tallest building — it’s the ultimate photo op. Head up to At The Top Sky Lounge, where glass walls and open-air terraces offer panoramic views that stretch beyond imagination.
7. Dine in the Sky or Underwater
Dubai redefines dining:
- Try Dinner in the Sky, suspended 50 meters above the city
- Or indulge in a luxurious meal surrounded by marine life at Ossiano in Atlantis The Palm
Either option promise unforgettable views and a setting as remarkable as the cuisine.
8. Explore the World Islands
Just off the coast of Dubai, an artificially- made archipelago awaits. Take a speedboat (yes, we know someone who can help 😉), and visit Lebanon Island, where you can sunbathe, swim, or sip a cocktail in total escape-mode.
9. Wrap Up Your Day With A Sunset Ride
After all that excitement, there’s no better way to wind down than with a sunset cruise on The Black Boats. Watch the golden hour paint the skyline as the city glows — it’s peaceful, magical, and undeniably Dubai.
Ready to Feel the Pulse of the City?
From sea to sky, Dubai delivers non-stop excitement — and The Black Boats is proud to be part of the journey. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or playing tourist in your own city, adventure starts here.
