SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE

It was fun exploring these Themed Zones inside Aquarium Journey. It was well organized, neat and maintained well. Kudos to the staff that are super friendly. Nice display in the gift shop where staff helps me choose selected items for souvenirs. It was fun during the tour and I highly recommend it to all my friends.

One of the best thing to do in Abu dhabi

If you’re looking for an adventure in Abu dhabi, highly recommending Clymb both indoor climbing and indoor skydiving. It’s worth the ay for the experience. Staff are very knowledgeable and really knows their stuff which you can learn a lot. Safety is one of their priorities, you will always be secured. The facilities are triple A grade. Thanks to Karlo Magpantay from indoor climbing for helping me a lot as a first timer. Special mention to John from indoor flying! Dude this guy knows how to show you a good time with the activity itself.

Flying with John at Clymbe

My son who is 3.5 years of age had an awesome experience at clymbe Abu Dhabi. A big thank you to coach John who made it a great experience for him. I was first a little worried but John gave me the comfort that my son would be alright. He kept me involved in the briefing process and made the experience truly memorable for us.
