What makes the Night Mountain Walk different from a standard hike?

Our Night Mountain Walk is a signature experience led by experts who specialize in the island’s unique geology. Using provided head torches, you’ll explore the rugged terrain under the stars, discovering nocturnal wildlife and rock formations that are often missed during the daylight hours.

Are the hiking shoes really mandatory for the mountain walk?

Yes. For your safety, closed-toe hiking or sturdy walking shoes are required. The mountain terrain can be uneven and rocky; guests wearing sandals, flip-flops, or high heels will not be permitted to join the trek to prevent injuries.

Is the Night Mountain Walk physically demanding?

The walk is designed for active travelers and families who enjoy the outdoors. While it is a moderate trek rather than a professional mountain climb, a basic level of fitness is recommended. Our guides ensure a safe and steady pace for the group.

What kind of camping gear is provided?

Vootours provides all the essentials: a beachside tent, sleeping mats, and sleeping bags. We also provide professional-grade head torches for the night walk. You only need to bring personal items and a light jacket for the cooler evening air.

Will I see different animals on the safari versus the mountain walk?

The 2-hour safari is your best chance to see large animals like giraffes, cheetahs, and oryx. During the Night Mountain Walk, the focus shifts to the island’s geology and nocturnal ecology, where you might spot smaller desert creatures that are active only after dark.

Can children participate in the Night Mountain Walk?

Yes, children (accompanied by an adult) are welcome! It is a thrilling educational experience for kids. However, parents should ensure their children are comfortable walking on uneven terrain in the dark.

What is included in the international buffet meals?

The package includes a full buffet dinner on Day 1 and a buffet breakfast on Day 2. The menu features a variety of international and local dishes. For private group bookings, specific dietary requirements can be coordinated in advance.

Do I need to book the ferry separately?

No, your round-trip ferry/speedboat transfers from Jebel Dhannah Terminal are fully included in the AED 1,199 (Adult) or AED 1,099 (Child) rate. We handle all the logistics and entry formalities for you.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety is our top priority. If sea conditions are too rough for the ferry or if weather makes the mountain walk unsafe, activities may be rescheduled or altered. We will always keep you informed of any changes to the itinerary.

How do I get to Jebel Dhannah Port from Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

The port is located approximately 2.5 to 3 hours from Abu Dhabi city. While the tour price excludes mainland transport, Vootours can easily arrange private door-to-door transfers upon request for an additional fee.

Night Mountain Walk: Safety & Etiquette Guide

Your safety and the protection of Sir Bani Yas Island’s natural heritage are our top priorities.

1. Safety First

Stay with the Group: Never wander off the designated path. The island’s terrain can be deceptive at night, and it is easy to lose your footing or your way.
Use the Gear: Always keep your provided head torch turned on. It not only helps you see the path but also allows the guide to keep track of everyone in the group.
Mind Your Step: Listen to the guide’s instructions regarding steep or rocky sections. Use your hands for balance if necessary.
Hydration: Even though it is cooler at night, trekking can be dehydrating. Drink water before the walk begins.

2. Wildlife Etiquette

Keep Your Distance: If we encounter nocturnal animals (such as owls, hedgehogs, or gazelles), do not attempt to touch or feed them.
No Flash Photography: Avoid using heavy camera flashes directly in the eyes of wildlife, as this can disorient and distress them. Your guide will advise when it is safe to take photos.
Quiet Observation: Keep noise to a minimum. Silence increases your chances of spotting wildlife and allows everyone to enjoy the tranquility of the mountain.

3. Environmental Protection

Leave No Trace: Sir Bani Yas is a protected sanctuary. Please ensure no litter (including tissues or water bottles) is left behind on the mountain.
Don’t Move Rocks: The island’s geology is unique. Please refrain from collecting stones or disturbing the natural rock formations.

4. Essential Gear Check

Double-Check Your Shoes: Ensure your laces are tied securely. As a reminder, guests without closed-toe shoes will not be allowed to participate.
Light Layers: The mountain breeze can be chilly. Wear a light jacket or windbreaker to stay comfortable.
Charge Your Phone: Ensure your phone is fully charged before leaving the camp in case of emergencies, though signal may be limited in certain areas.
