Best guide ever - Our guide was absolutely amazing , he took care of us very well , amazing guy from Pakistan - Murry. Unfortunately don’t remember his names. But he made the experience amazing and unforgettable. He was warm and welcoming with a good sense of humour. He was suppling us with fresh cold water at every turn, and when we got tired he towed us along which was no small thing as it was two of us in the kayak. He also was sure to provide us with alternative footwear when he realised ours were not appropriate. It is because of him that this kayaking experience will be one we cherish forever. Thank you for the best time.

Fun activity but don’t expect to much - The transfer was very expensive it that 250 riyal. De driver almost made a accident by driving to fast en he was watching video’s on his phone. Switching lane without signal. We almost got hit by a car. So for us the transfer was 0 points. When we came there we started the activity is was a nice experience. The water is beautiful but that’s kinda it. I couldn’t enjoy it that much because i was worried about going back with the transfer.

Kind of a disaster - Honestly, kind of a disaster excursion. Lots of confusion on day and time even though I had confirmed tickets. They sent a taxi driver to pick us up and he spoke very limited English. The guide seemed frustrated because there was a family of 5 scheduled at the same time as us who had zero experience. So we were totally neglected and told to just paddle back and he pointed in general direction. After getting back, no one said a word to us, so we changed and were leaving when we were stopped and accused of not paying. Again, we had confirmed tickets that showed payed in full. He wouldn’t let us leave until he called someone and confirmed that. It was a little frightening because we were in the middle of nowhere.

Underwhelming - The place is quite difficult to find and access. The GPS around the area will lead you to the wrong place since the area hasn’t been updated geographically. The tour guide spoke limited English. He was difficult to understand though kind. Visiting the mangroves will be dependent on the tides. With low tides, you won’t visit them. You’ll literally walk around them. Calling for an Uber or taxi around the area is tough since this location is quite far from Doha; at least 45 minutes of a drive.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE !!!! - I booked a kayak at 6:00am and went there so I called and then they told me that there will be no kayak at this time and that I have to come afternoon. I said I can’t come this time. I booked at 6:00am why did u canceled it. They didn’t even call me and tell me that it will be cancelled till I called. When I called back to tell them to give me my money back they hung up the line on my face 2 times. When I called and got upset they gave me a number to contact. I called that number and it was out of service so it shows call failed. I emailed but no one replied, I did the survey and no one did anything. It was my first and last time to book from here. I will also tell my family and friends about it because it shows how careless you are. I just want my money back because I’m not the one who cancelled my timing.

Disappointment - I was very disappointed!! The guide hardly could speak English. We arrived a bit early and instead of telling us to wait for the water he took us to the open water. We paddled for more than an hour in a big wind and could not get even close to the mangrove trees. When finally arrived back completely tired, wet, and cold the tide had arrived. He was unprofessional, he even said that the water is low because the wind is too big, but the tide has nothing to do with the wind. It could have been such a nice day!!
