The Good Stuff
Knowledgeable Guides
Guides explain the animals clearly and patiently, including when children have questions.
Smooth Transport
Transport bookings can include an on-time driver who waits during the activity and returns guests to their hotel.
Included Photos
At least one private zoo booking included a photographer, letting guests focus on the animal interaction.
Adventure Options
Reviews also mention a jet ski outing with transport and a Dubai desert buggy experience.
Repeat Visits
Several guests returned or planned to return, including one visitor making a second booking during vacation.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Pricing. Get the full total, taxes and payment currency in writing before travelling; one review reported an unexpected tax and changed amount.
Check Attire. Ask for clothing guidance before the private zoo visit, as one booking included specific attire instructions.
Wear Shoes. For the private zoo horseback ride through the desert area, bring suitable shoes.
Ask About Photos. If photography matters, confirm whether a photographer is included in your package rather than assuming it.
Last-Minute Booking. The operator may handle bookings only a few hours before an activity, with one guest reporting easy communication and VIP treatment.

The Bottom Line
Rendezvous Dubai is a Bluewaters Island tour operator focused on arranging Dubai experiences rather than running just one attraction. The clearest draw in the reviews is its private-zoo booking: guests describe getting close to lions, tigers, bears, monkeys and other animals, sometimes feeding them, while guides explain what they are seeing. Al Buqaish Private Zoo is the recurring highlight.
The booking service can include transport, and several reviews describe on-time drivers, clear WhatsApp instructions and a driver waiting while the activity takes place. One guest travelled from Abu Dhabi to the zoo, while another praised transport in a Mercedes-Maybach van. A photographer was included in at least one package.
Beyond the zoo, reviews mention a jet ski experience, a desert buggy outing and a horseback ride through the “desert”. There is a pricing caveat. One reviewer said the deal changed and described an unexpected 10% tax and a much higher amount on arrival, while another reported paying exactly the quoted price with no hidden costs.
Confirm the complete price, taxes, currency and inclusions in writing before you go. Bring suitable shoes if horseback riding is part of the plan, and ask about attire and photography when booking.
