While Dubai is known for hosting thrilling adventures across its sprawling desert landscapes, the ocean waters along the city’s coastline are brimming with fun opportunities for the adventurous. Here are some of the unique ways in which you can explore the ocean waters in Dubai.
Electric Foil Boards
More commonly known as e-foils, these are a whole new version of surfboards that are becoming increasingly popular. All you need to do is maintain your balance as you would on a normal surfboard while using a remote to propel your board forward. It makes for a new water-based adventure and is worth a try if you are staying closer to the shoreline at places like Oaks Liwa Heights.
Flyboarding
Another high-adrenaline futuristic adventure to enjoy out on the water is flyboarding. You’ll need to strap your feet onto a board and soar above the water propelled by jet nozzles that shoot out powerful streams of water. While the sensation takes some getting used to, flyboarding is worth a try for the adventurous.
Jetpacking
If flyboarding wasn’t too out of this world for you, jetpacking takes the experience to a new level. This time, you’ll be attached to a jetpack that lifts you way up in the air through water jet streams. Since you won’t have a board on which to stand or balance, you’ll need to keep your dangling legs still to maintain your balance.
Wakeboarding
If you’ve planned on making the best of the long stay hotel offers in Dubai, wakeboarding should definitely be on your list of adventures. It can be described as a water-based version of skateboarding as you’re pulled across the sea by a speedboat, allowing you to perform various flips and tricks, much like a skateboarder.
