Can anyone tell me how I can get across to the island just off the corniche. Am thinking of going that way to watch the racing tomorrow. Has anyone been down that way to see what is happening and if it is worth watching from the land? Or if there are any dhows going out to watch the racing from the sea? Any help would be much appreciated. TIA

Thanks for this, much appreciated. Not sure what to do yet as still seeking options, 1000 dhs pp is a bit steep though for a few hours watching but it would be good to close! Tx again

We used the company below for National Day, it was excellent. There used to a ferry service to LuLu island but they stopped that a few years ago. The only way to get there is to charter a boat. The Destination Village is on the breakwater, near Marina mall - loads going on down there.
