Abu Dhabi 30-Minute Shared Helicopter Tour

This half-hour flight adds the Arabian Gulf, Capital Gate and the mangroves around Reem Island to the Abu Dhabi waterfront. It starts and finishes at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal heliport at Zayed Port (Mina Zayed). The route follows the Corniche past the Rixos hotel, Marina Mall and the flagpole, the Presidential Palace and the lush green gardens of Emirates Palace, then out over the Arabian Gulf to Hudayriyat Island, past Capital Gate to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Sheikh Zayed Sports City, and on to the mangroves around Reem Island, before the helicopter returns to the port. The helicopter is shared, with up to 6 guests on board, and the crew assigns seats. The cabin has large windows. The price is from US$273 (USD) per person. Arrive 45 minutes before your flight, and every guest must bring an original, valid passport or Emirates ID. There is no hotel pickup, so make your own way to Zayed Port. Headsets are included so you can hear the pilot’s live commentary in English. Food, drinks, selfie sticks, smoking and vaping are not allowed on board. The limit is 110 kg (242 lb) per passenger; above that you may be refused boarding, but you can buy an extra seat on the same flight, and seat-belt extenders cannot be used. Children must be at least 2 years old. The flight is not suitable for wheelchair users or pregnant women. Cancel up to 24 hours before for a full refund.
