Pedal boats in Abu Dhabi

Not every water activity needs to be an action sequence. Sometimes, all you want is a calm, meditative journey across the water. With a pedal boat, that’s exactly what you get. Pedal boating is like the laid-back cousin of Abu Dhabi’s flashier water activities. It encourages you to slow down rather than speed up, and listen to the sounds of the outdoors instead of a roaring engine. 

Pedal boats in Abu Dhabi are a welcome respite from the high-energy entertainment of Yas Island in the heart of the city and Al Ain Adventure Park out in the desert. Swap rollercoasters and rapids for views of the city skyline or sandy dunes. Chat with family and friends as you unwind on the water, pedalling along at whatever pace you like. Sure, you could hop on a bicycle – but where’s the fun in that?
