Lovely experience on the water - Really lovely experience . The boats take you around the fountains during the show with music and full view of the burjkhalifa . Short trip but the kids loved it and a nice breeze.

Great Value for Money - For a low cost (around 70AED) you can experience the breathtaking fountains up close and in a more personal setting than the congested standing areas around the lake. The lake ride is popular but not so much that there is a lengthy queue - we had to wait for one full cycle (around 30mins) but in that time we watched the fountains from the queue area so it did not feel too long but children around us were becoming restless so be weary if visiting as a family with young children. Once we boarded the abra we travelled around the lake which gave us nice views of the surrounding buildings before taking in the fountain show from a static position (if you are on one of the last abras to board you watch the fountains first before exploring the lake. The boarding and disembarking procedures are a bit slow and could be streamlined but this doesn’t really affect the experience which is one of great value for money. Expect to be seated with others - the abras usually seat eight people and are not private but they do always keep you in your group if you will all fit in one abra.

Great view of the fountsin show - The ride on the abra was well worth the money. It was interesting to be able to see all of the buildings lit up after dark before the show, and you had a great view of the fountain show from the boat. The fountain show itself was shorter than expected, but it was still worthwhile experience.

Very worth it - An excellent way to see the fountains, highly recommended and a much better view instead of being stood in the crowds. Be sure to buy on the gate as it’s only 65aed each but have seen other companies charging a fortune! Absolutely stunning in the dark with the lights on too

Awesome - We had a wonderful time it was a very special experience for us and the driver that pick us up was early to pick up and even escorted us to the spot we needed to be at

Best way to see the fountain show - This is definitely worth prebooking and excellent value for money. You join the abra and enjoy a 30 minute ride round the lake under the burj Khalifa. It really is a birds eye view of the fountain show we booked for 7.15 which was ideal.

Good but maybe better spending you're valuable time elsewhere - Get there early can be very very busy show only lasts about 5 minutes so you need to decide whether it's worth the aggravation Good but maybe not worth you're times unless you're already visiting Dubai Mall

Not impressive - It's not really worth the money, you don't see anything different from what you can see walking along the shore. Crowded. Buy the tickets in advance, otherwise you risk not being able to do the tour at the desired time.

You can save so much... - You can save so much money by booking when you’re there you can save £100 I found this out by the people on the boat the same time as me which was to late then

Nice but overhyped with a very large crowd to deal with. - Nice but overhyped with a very large crowd to deal with. The show is only 5min, and is monochromatic. It repeats every hour starting 18:00. You have to line up at least 30min in advance, and deal with a large crown and another 30min delay when trying to get out. If you have seen the fountain show in Bellagio/Las Vegas, you will be very disappointed with this fountain show. Best to see it from restaurant or hotel room to avoid the crowds.
