After reading views at tripadvisor I booked a journey for me and my friend. When we reached the place it seemed like ok it will be a normal boating experience. But guys oh my it was great. They even gave us pearls as well. They showed us how they get it from the oysters and how difficult and rare they are to find. Overall it was a great experience. I would highly recommend it to everyone who is here in UAE.

We enjoyed our relaxing boat journey through the mangroves. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was very interesting to learn about pearl diving in the Abu Dhabi, and that it was a prominent source of income and employment before the discovery of oil. During the journey you are offered Arabic coffee, dates and water, at the end you get to open an oyster shell, and have the excitement of finding a pearl in the shell which you can keep, after it has been cleaned in salt water and given to you in a gift bag. Thank you for a lovely fascinating morning.

Relax on a boat ride and learn about Abu Dhabi’s pearl history, the old ways of pearl diving and different types of oysters and pearls. You can enjoy Arabic coffee and dates. At the end you can eat fresh scallion (specific to this region not found anywhere else), and you even get to keep a pearl from the fresh live oyster that you opened!

Spent an amazing 90 minutes hearing how the Emirati people source of living before oil was discovered. Through such stories, the wisdom of the fathers are passed down to the future generations.

The tour was really amazing, unique and authentic. There were some other choices available in Abu Dabhi, but we opted for Pearl Journey and never regretted it. As it is a boat ride long beautiful costs, the boat itself is oriental and very arabic. The guide is extremely nice and polite. The views of the nature are wonderul. And frankly speaking, when we were opening the pearls, I felt so intrigued that I had butterflies in my stomach, which I did not at all expect to happen)) So it really surpassed my expectations))

This was both relaxing and informative. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable about the heritage and culture of pearl diving in Abu Dhabi. I thoroughly enjoyed our little trip around the mangroves and opening some shells to find pearls. Thankyou. Would recommend to couples for a relaxing interesting tour

Our hospitable guide has taken us into the past and teached us about the hard and dangerous life of the pearl divers. We could enjoy the special taste of Arabic coffee and dates wile listening to an amazing explanation. We have learned so much new things this day! Opening our own oyster and finding a pearl was the climax of or visit.

Hallo. I stay in Al Reef Abu Dhabi. Do I have to take a taxi to the pickup (where is it) for the Pearl Journey and what is it going to cost me.
Thank you
