2. If you are arriving by car, take the E11 highway from Abu Dhabi or Dubai and drive in the direction of Tarif and Mirfa. After Al Ruwais, take Exit 113 for Sir Bani Yas Island. The Jebel Dhana Jetty for the Sir Bani Yas Island ferry is approximately two hours away from downtown Abu Dhabi. Park the car at the jetty, and hop into the complimentary speed boat.
3. You can use the city's bus transportation services and journey to the Sir Bani Yas Ferry Terminal.
4. If you are arriving by your own personal boat, you can dock at Royal Bay Moorings.
