Kayaking was the LAST activity I was expecting to do when coming to the Emirates! I am not a sporty person at all and I really enjoyed it! Make sure you don't go kayaking when it is too hot. My friends and I really had fun in the mangrove. It lasted for about 1h30. We had a stop halfway and... More

I have lived in the UAE for six years and this is one of the best experiences I have had in all that time. After a short briefing on safety and paddling technique we were down to the beach and off in our kayaks. At the time of booking I was asked if I wanted a double kayak or two... More

We went on the 3pm Mangroves kayaking tour, and it was brilliant, despite chucking it down with rain. The guide was friendly and helpful, and waited without complaint for the last member of our group to arrive who had gotten lost. We then paddled out to the mangroves, circled them and then ducked in to the tunnels - a long... More

Thank you for your kind review and I am glad that you enjoyed the experience. Sadly, the 'E48 launch point' has no facilities at all but it is now the only place left that the public can get launch access to the Eastern Mangroves. All other shoreline has been taken by developments and private villas or is off limits. We... More

This was my last tour on a 2 week visit to Abu Dhabi and definately one of my favourites. Our very fun tour guide Mike was informative and interesting. The mangroves are very beautiful. I would highly recommend it!

Thank you for your kind review and I am glad that you included it in your visit to Abu Dhabi. The green of the mangroves is a very pleasant place to be and so different to the city, and yet so close. Mike,with his wooden paddle, is a great guide and thank you for mentioning him. Yours. Mark More

Living in Dubai, its very nice to escape the city and get outdoors. Out on the water with this company, it feels like Abu Dhabi is miles away - but less than ten min by car. We got a little lost finding the location to meet, streets are a little confusing here so arrive early. The group had already left... More

Dear Craig. Thank you for your kind review. I am not sure if navigating to and around Abu Dhabi is either an art or a science but, either way, it is not easy. Well done on finding us and I am very glad that you enjoyed the experience. Please note that we now operate from Yas Beach too, which is... More

This is an excellent outdoor activity which is fun, ecofriendly, and suitable for amateurs. Noukhada has great guides who are knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The tours are affordable and great for families or groups. Book in advance on the noukhada website. This is a must do activity during the Abu Dhabi winter.

What a refreshing change to visit a professional company who understand what they are doing and know their trade! I have now kayaked three times and sailed twice with Mark and his team.

The website is concise, accurate and great information. Colleen will answer your calls and return them as well and is so nice and helpful. The directions were straight forward (we got the cab there!)

We did a 1 and 1/2 hour kayak trip of the mangroves in Abu Dhabi. This is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours. The water is calm and the kayaking easy. Good for those of limited fitness or with young kids. No real challenge for the experienced kayak-er or adventure enthusiast in this trip, but a very... More
