Brilliant time kayaking by the mangroves and seeing lots of water birds including flamingos!

A brilliant experience kayaking by the mangoves today. We were lucky enough to be there at low tide so kayaked up the channel to see the flamingos on feeding along with many other water birds. It couldn't have gone more smoothly, as we walked towards the marina a man came to greet us and took us down to the boat. Everything was pristine, the kayaks, the boat, the life jackets. We left our shoes in the secure boat house and had a lovely 15 minute boat ride out to the mangroves. We were then left to paddle at our leisure for just over an hour which was plenty for us. We were given cold water on arrival and departure, the crew couldn't have been more attentive. We have a brilliant time, would definitely recommend this tour.

hank you so much for this incredible review! 🌿🦩🚣‍♂️ We’re delighted you had such a brilliant kayaking experience through the Abu Dhabi mangroves — and how special that you caught the flamingos feeding at low tide! That’s one of those magical moments that makes every mangrove tour unique. We’re also very happy to hear everything ran smoothly from the moment you arrived at the marina. Our team always aims to provide a seamless experience — from greeting you personally, to the boat transfer, to ensuring our kayaks, life jackets, and equipment are clean and pristine for every guest. The 15-minute boat ride to the mangroves is one of our favorite parts too — it really sets the tone for a peaceful nature escape. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed paddling at your own leisure and felt well looked after with cold water and attentive crew support. That balance of independence and care is exactly what we strive for on our Mangrove Kayak Experience in Abu Dhabi. Thank you again for your kind recommendation — we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another peaceful adventure soon!
