Creator's Key Takeaways

That was a pretty good experience. That was a pretty fun experience getting out to see the island.

Honestly, um this is nice. There aren't that many animals, not that many different animals.

Glad I did it. Glad I did. But I guess, you know, everything is better in Florida.

The sun is really nice, though. I will give him that. The sun is is really nice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring water shoes because the beach is all rocks.
Watch out for the chairs; they actually rock and can be startling.
All aboard is at 6:00, which is a decent time.

YouTube Video Description

The ROYAL Private Island: Sir Bani Yas in the Arabian Sea & WILDLIFE SAFARI Hey everyone, it's your favorite cruise vlogger back with another epic day ashore! Today we're docking at Sir Bani Yas Island on Celestyal Journey – that private island paradise run by Abu Dhabi Ports. We kick off with a fun (and slightly confusing) tender ride, hit up the cruise-exclusive beach, then dive into an included safari tour spotting gazelles, oryx, giraffes, cheetahs, and more. Honest thoughts on the animal setups, the non-inclusive beach perks (or lack thereof), and yes... that freezing dip in the Arabian Sea in January (spoiler: Florida boy was NOT prepared 😂). Super casual, real-talk vlog with tips for future cruisers, some light sarcasm about the rocky "sand" beach, and why Florida still wins for theme park vibes. If you're into cruise ports, private islands, or just honest travel reviews, stick around!
