eFoil
Abu Dhabi
Is it a surfboard? Is it a hoverboard? It’s neither – and yet, somehow, it’s both. It’s an eFoil, and you can experience the thrill of it in Abu Dhabi, no waves or wind required. This futuristic, electric-powered water sport elevates you out of the water and into the air in a matter of moments. Once you’ve found your bearings (and balance), you’ll silently glide above the sea, carving turns and skimming the surface like you’ve done it your whole life.
You’ll find eFoiling experiences across Abu Dhabi, including the scenic shores of Al Bateen and Al Maqtaa, lively Yas Bay and laid-back Hudayriyat Island. Expert instructors and calm conditions make each of these spots the perfect launchpad for lift-off. If you're looking for an activity to top your holiday highlight reel, this one is it.

FAQs about eFoiling in Abu Dhabi
What is an eFoil ride?
An eFoil ride is a high-tech water experience that lets you glide above the surface of the sea using an electric-powered board with a hydrofoil underneath. As the board picks up speed, the foil lifts it out of the water, creating a smooth, silent sensation of flying. It’s like surfing, minus the waves.
Is eFoiling safe for beginners?
Yes, eFoiling is designed with beginners in mind. You’ll get a safety briefing, equipment setup and on-water coaching from experienced instructors. Most sessions start with practice on your knees before standing up and ‘taking flight’. With calm waters and professional guidance, Abu Dhabi is an ideal environment for first-timers.
How long does an eFoil session last?
A typical eFoil session in Abu Dhabi lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the package you choose. This includes gear fitting, a safety briefing, on-shore training and plenty of ride time on the water. Some providers also offer longer experiences for those who want more time to master the technique.
Do I need any prior experience for eFoiling in Abu Dhabi?
No previous experience is required. eFoiling is beginner-friendly and doesn’t demand the same balance or strength as traditional surfing or wakeboarding. Expert instruction and stable equipment ensures most people are able to stand and ride during their very first session.
