It is the classic first try at flyboarding: no previous experience needed, a safety briefing and a few tips before you start from a team that speaks English, French and Arabic, and photos and videos of your session at no extra cost. The base has one board, so riders take turns, 30 minutes each, and the top pick adds a 30-minute jet ski ride to the Burj Al Arab after a 30-minute break, $168 in all. Below: what the price covers, who it suits and how it compares with the other ways to do it.

Tour on this route: Flyboard in Dubai — From $89 per person, 30 minutes.
Is the price per person?
Yes. The 30-minute flyboard session is from $89 per person. The top pick, $168, adds a 30-minute jet ski ride to the Burj Al Arab; the jet ski takes up to 2 riders, so two people can each book a flyboard session and share one jet ski at $79. The jet ski price is for early-morning and midday slots; afternoon slots cost more, and we confirm the exact price before payment.

The short answer
Yes for first-timers aged 16 and over who want to try flying above the water, and friends who take turns on the board: it runs as a guided flyboard session covering Jumeirah, Dubai and lasts 30 minutes. Meet at Umm Suqeim Fishing Harbour, Jumeirah, 20 min before your slot (no hotel pickup)
Pricing is From $89 per person. Full prepayment confirms your flyboard slot: we agree the time on WhatsApp and send the confirmation after payment.
Who should book it — and who should not
Against the jet ski to the Burj Al Arab from $79 per jet ski, the flyboard is about learning a new skill rather than covering distance: 30 minutes on one board for one rider, while the jet ski is a ride along the Jumeirah coast for up to two. Book both as the $168 top pick if you want the two in one visit. The flyboard is not for under-16s, riders over about 120 kg or during pregnancy; for a seated view of the same coast, the speedboat tour passes the Burj Al Arab from Dubai Marina. The Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab guide covers the area around the harbour.
