They say love is in the air and they’re not wrong! Forget the traditional date night, it’s time to get more adventurous and plan a romantic air adventure for someone special. Want to glide across the sky in a hot air balloon? Why not float on cloud 9 while parasailing? How about taking a scenic seaplane tour? Here’s 5 of the most romantic air adventures to try in Dubai…
1. A seaplane tour of the city

For a romantic bird’s-eye view of Dubai’s most famous icons, hop on a flight with Seawings Sea Plane Tours and gain a magnificent new perspective of the city. The seaplane service takes off from the water and offers jaw-dropping views of the World Islands and Burj Khalifa.
Price: From AED 1,695 per person. Dubai Creek Gold: AED 13,500 for the charter of the seaplane (9 people, max). Pick up and drop off are available for a fee.
Location: Take off from Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club or JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort
insydo tip: You can pay extra for a premium seat next to the co-pilot or at the back of the plane for stellar views and more leg room.
2. Parasailing above the ocean
With the clouds above you and the ocean below, what better way to say ‘I love you’ than sweeping her (or him) off her feet as you rise to the sky from the back of a boat?! Soar high above the Marina coastline and float on cloud nine under a colourful umbrella parachute with Sky & Sea Adventures.
Price: Parasailing costs AED 300 per person
Location: JBR
insydo tip: Sometimes the weather affects the ride. When we called to make a booking for parasailing, we were advised to arrive around 11am when winds typically pick up.
3. A romantic hot air balloon ride
Float above the desert, marvel over the majestic Hajjar Mountains and drift towards the horizon to where date night meets day and golden hues bring the rolling dunes to life. All sounds a bit whimsical, right? But the reality is that Balloon Adventures Emirates make this open-air experience possible.
Price: Adults: AED 995. Kids from 5 to 12 years: AED 850. Exclusive charters start from AED 11,450.
Location: Into the desert… request pick-up options!
insydo tip: Planning a sunrise surprise for the family? They don’t take children under five years of age, pregnant women or anyone who has had a recent surgery.
