Never miss opportunity 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.

We will be back..... 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.

Great way to spend a Friday 🛶 Three friends and I booked the "Ramadan Special" kayaking trip. On arrival, we were given the equipment and taken to the water's edge. We then kayaked through the beautiful mangroves and were given interesting information about the local area and an opportunity to take photos on the sand bank. We then kayaked to the coast of Purple Island and were given another opportunity for photos and information about the habitat. We then had another paddle where we saw the start of the sunset and had time for more photos. Our tour guide, Goggle, was very helpful and informative, as well as a great photographer! After, we were given time to freshen up and then ate a tasty iftar meal by the campfire. A great way to spend a Friday and it was very smooth and well organised.

Getaway at purple island I enjoyed a kayaking trip to Purple Island, and it was an absolute dream. The camp’s ambiance immediately wraps you in peace, making it the ideal escape. The Aquasport staff are exceptionally attentive and friendly, enhancing the experience with their hospitality. Kayaking among the mangroves, with the backdrop of birdsong, clear waters, and stunning scenery, was a highlight. Post-trip, I felt a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Purple Island is a must-visit for anyone in Qatar or those planning a visit. Highly recommended!

Fun sunny kayaking with a top guide We had a great time, Google (not the search engine!) was a great guide, he showed us all about the mangroves and Purple Island. We had two boys with us, who were in tandem kayaks with adults. The initial brief was great for beginners.

Recommended We have come with 3 friends and the experience was great. Nice guide and instructor. We have chosen this company as it looked least touristy and it was a great choice.

A wonderful way to see Qatar A Wonderful trip, very highly recommended. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. The guide, Calvin was very helpful, very informative and allowed us to stay safe on our trip. The mangroves were fascinating and the views spectacular. The clear blue water and wildlife such as fish, crabs and flamingoes made the trip even more special. A fantastic thing to do with family and friends.
