WARNING
*** Warning from a British consultant Doctor
A Very dangerous company, putting passengers life at risk deliberately,
Very different experience from normal Speed boat but this was a life threatening experience!
The boat ‘s diver went inside the sea with very bad weather conditions and very high waves very fast without slowing the boat as I requested few times and I was going to fall!
Also, no safety measures as seat belts!
No transparency from
The company but lies and twisting facts, I asked for escalation but they didn't escalate my complaint! PLEASE AVOID FOR YOUR SAFETY AND LIFE.
I am a British NHS Doctor was Visting Dubai for my birthday which was on 7/12.
I booked the boat on my birthday 7/12 to see Dubai attractions.
Unfortunately, the experience I had was very dangerous and life threatening.
I took the boat departing from Marina Walk at 5 pm on 7/12/20. I met the driver, and introduced myself and told him that it's my birthday and I hope I have a nice tour with him. I asked him where to sit for better view. He advised that there is a better view on the front of the boat but it might be a bit bumpy. I told him that my birthday is today.
I sat on the front. The weather was very bad and there were lot of waves. He drove very fast and I was gonna fall. I asked him to slow down and he did.
I asked him and his colleague to slow down and I told them that I am visiting Dubai to celebrate my birthday, not to die in the boat. They laughed.
Then literally 1 min after, he went very very fast again!
I point with my hands and shouted to them to slow down but I saw the assistant looking at me smiling and didn't reposed!
I asked again and finally after few minutes, he stopped the boat!
He asked me whether I would like to move to another seat.
I was shocked and asked him why he went fast again, the driver claimed that it was impostant otherwise the boat will be floating.
I have replied that he could have told me to move my seat first especially that I asked them to slow down!
Also, I have raised my hands and shouted few times that I am in danger!
He replied that he didn't see me!
What happened was very dangerous and criminal as his assistant saw me asking more than once to stop and he saw me struggling but he ignored that and put my life at risk deliberately!
I am very astonished that your staff act in such a criminal way putting passengers lives in danger.
The assistant saw me and was smiling and didn't respond or inform the driver and left me in danger for few minutes!
The driver claimed that he didn't see me and apologized but on the other hand, I asked him to go slowly but after just 1 min, he went again very fast while even if he needs to, he could have asked me to change the seat or gave me the option to return back due to wether condition and ensue passengers safety
I contacted the company by e-mail immediately after the incident but no response for almost three weeks and I had to call them when I returned back to London.
They reply was defensive and twisting facts and saying lies about presence of seat belts which was not the case at all!
Although they apologized and offered refund but I felt that I have to warn other tourists not to risk their lives or at least put themselves in danger and book with another company who cares about customers safety and acts with transparency and integrity.

Guys, do give this review a read as you must have come across RAYNA TOURS every where on the internet but the true experience of going on a safari through them is HORRIFYING. Let me tell you that it seems they have just spent on advertising their name on the internet but lack in providing quality services.
Firstly, they are one of the companies with the HIGHEST PRICE for the SAFARI (AED 200 per person as on July 4th) and when asked the reason behind this, they send you a huge email boasting about the reason for such a high price which is what made me fall into their trap.
They assure you best vehicles, quad biking, quality drivers and what not.
IMPORTANT: THE VEHICLE IN WHICH WE WERE DOING THE SAFARI WAS DEFECTIVE AND ON INVESTIGATION WE GOT TO KNOW THAT THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE FOR REPAIRS AND WAS BROUGHT FOR THE SAFARI EVEN BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED(JUST TO EARN SOME MORE MONEY). THE CONDITION COULD BE SEEN AS THE CARS TYRE CAME OUT OF THE RIM DURING THE DUNE BASHING ( see attached image). WE WERE WAITING FOR 30MINS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT IT WOULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
Secondly, the quad biking that they provide is just for a small area where you can just take rounds( meant for 8 year old kids). For this they charge you AED 100 if you buy it with your Safari package making it AED 300 per person Then when you ask them for the same they ask you to pay another AED 100 to go out in the sand dunes. Then what was the point of prepaying them.
They say that they have everything included in this highly priced package but when you go there you have to pay up for most of the promised services such as having a photo with falcon.
And the most funny part - dressing up like an Arab is free but getting a picture clicked in them is chargeable, then what is the whole point of wearing that dress.
So be ready to first pay this TOP RANKED RAYNA TOURS (from below) the highest price and also spend more money for any additional service and also putting your life in danger by using substandard cars.
I would strongly recommend you to go for other options which are much better and also worth the price.
