Action-packed Dubai holiday

With its white-knuckle theme park rides, thrilling watersports, desert escapades and enviable stretch of coastline, Dubai was made for heart-pumping action. Start your action holiday with a splash at AquaFun, the largest inflatable waterpark in Dubai. With 110 different challenges to climb, jump and slide around, this award-winning waterpark makes the must-do list for anyone looking for adventurous beach activities. Once you’ve dried off it's time to head ashore to The Beach opposite JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residences) for restaurants, hotels, lounges and a range of family-friendly entertainment. The bustling cosmopolitan area is perfect for an afternoon stroll, while an ever-present stream of supercars is sure to keep petrolheads entertained. 

If you want to get a taste of true adventure on your holiday, nowhere compares to the Dubai desert. Hit the sands during a dune buggy tour with Big Red Adventure Tours or marvel at the landscape from above with a hot air balloon ride at 4,000ft. If heights are your thing, then Skydive Dubai should be top of your list for a breathtaking freefall and parachute landing. Take the leap above the Palm Jumeirah or over the Arabian desert and see the emirate from an entirely different perspective.

For stunning views with your feet firmly on the ground, the View at The Palm offers an incomparable vista of the Dubai skyline from up to 250m high. If that’s not enough, thrill-seekers can skirt around the edges of Address Sky View Hotel at heights of 219.5m during the Edge Walk experience at Sky Views Dubai, for top views of the Burj Khalifa.

Follow our jam-packed adventure tour to get your adrenaline pumping.
