This destination is one of our top adventures for the school trips. It was very well organised; the students had a very educational enjoyable time. We did as well as teachers. Highly recommended as an exceptional experience. Thank you very much Aquasports. For more trips to come next year Insha Allah.

The guide, Mr Google, was enthusiastic and managed all abilities well. Although it was a low tide the day we attended. Mr Google made all efforts to extend our time so we could catch a higher tide and experience the mangroves. Paddling through the mangroves in the dark was one of the most amazing experiences and a highlight of our trip to Qatar, a welcome break from the city too. Make sure you check the tides before booking though as this really has a major effect on your experience and I don’t think is highlighted enough in the advertising.

This was a great experience. it worth going there. The trip was as it was explained. The staff was very cooperative and very well knowledgeable. They are very supportive. Those who have not done Kayaking, this is the best place to start. and especially family. Even the kids can enjoy. My 3 year old child was able to enjoy this. So don't miss the opportunity while you are in Qatar.

This is our 5th expedition with Aquasports and it gets better each time! Seamless, stress free booking via the portal and great communication on revised timings to suit the tide and wind. We were a group of ladies and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Google (our guide for the evening) was brilliant. He was eloquent and detailed in safety briefing, explanations of the area/towns/mangroves and helped spot wildlife. He was patient with us (Lol) and kept us laughing. Aquasports is THE only mangrove kayaking experience company we'll ever book with. Till the next trip, hopefully in 3 weeks! And thanks for helping the mangrove by picking up plastic along the way.
