Reasons Why Yas Island Is Perfect For Every Thrill-Seeker

We all have our travel styles – some of us prefer to slow down and take a breather, while others use this time to get our heart racing and our blood pumping by indulging our adventurous spirits at every turn. If you identify with the latter, we’ve got the perfect travel destination recommendation for you, right in the heart of Abu Dhabi!

From taking flight to insane heights, to defying gravity and blitzing through the air at speeds that'll get your adrenaline pumping, Yas Island has all the elements that make a vacation the adventure of a lifetime, and here are a few reasons why it needs to be on the bucket list of all thrill seekers.

We’re starting off strong with the world’s first Ferrari-themed park home to 44 jaw-dropping rides. First off, The Formula Rossa, the kingpin of rollercoasters, clocking in at a mind-blowing (literally) 240 km/h. Then there's Flying Aces, the bi-plane themed coaster with the world’s steepest drop, the fastest inclined cable lift, and the tallest inverted loop! But wait, there's more – Yas Island's first-ever Roof Walk and Zip Line experiences. The ZipLine is a race through the loop of Flying Aces, giving you a unique dual racing experience. And let's not forget Mission Ferrari, the mega-coaster that's a 5D experience with the world’s first sideways coaster drop. By the time you’re out, you’ve spent more time in the air than on the ground – and loved every minute of it!

If you still want more, here's a lineup of rides, slides, and attractions that'll make your inner kid squeal. We're talking 24 rides — six of which have never been seen in any other waterpark in the world. If the aerial adventures are getting too much for you, Yas Waterworld also offers a unique, one-of-a-kind foray into the buried treasures of Emirati culture with their pearl diving attractions.

Home to the World’s Largest Indoor Skydiving Flight Chamber at 10 meters in width and 32 meters in height, CLYMB™ Abu Dhabi is a thrill-seekers' paradise. They've got the region’s tallest indoor climbing wall, The SUMMYT, standing tall at 42 meters, and the world's widest boulder wall at 57 meters. And it is fully indoor! No need to wait for the perfect weather, they got you covered with non-stop adventure all year-round!

We’re rounding off this experience by coming full circle – literally! Situated a stone’s throw from Ferrari World, this iconic track is often home to the Formula 1 Grand Prix, where the pros battle it out in the world’s biggest race.

Did you know that this track features 21 turns and a track length of 5.55 kilometers? And speaking of turns, the Yas Marina Circuit is the only track in the world with a hotel (Yas Viceroy) built over it. Talk about a front-row seat to the action! It’s not just about the pros, though, Yas Marina Circuit welcomes adrenaline enthusiasts of all levels. You can rev it up on the track with their awesome driving experiences, from supercars to karting—it's a playground for speed lovers.

Get those bags packed and buckle up for an unparalleled thrill-seeking adventure on Yas Island! From heart-pounding rides to record-breaking experiences, this is the ultimate destination for adrenaline junkies.
