The overall experience was poor (and I like kayaking). There isn't really much to see other than some man made canals through some mangroves. The mangroves are quite boring and repetitive, there is no variety. There is limited commentary from the guides, not really a tour. Enjoyed the chats with the guides which were friendly. If this is the highest... More

Come and see this almost unknown aspect of Abu Dhabi before the jet skis and boats and developers damage the ecosystem irrevocably. A morning paddle through the mangroves along the east coast of Abu Dhabi island is a an absolute delight. Even if the birdlife is a little sparse there will be plenty of crabs and the incredible mangroves themselves... More

Went on a mangrove tour which was wonderful. A brief overview on how to paddle before setting out. Everyone has to wear a life jacket (it's hard to fall out). Saw lots of wildlife (a couple of exotics escaped from some sheikh's menagerie) and loved exploring the mangroves on a peaceful morning. I highly recommend this tour. Once you've got... More

This was a great opportunity to participate in an eco-friendly activity within a natural habitat in the UAE at an affordable price. A peaceful retreat from a busy city. Would recommend this to residents and tourists alike. It's nice to see that Noukhada Adventure Company is trying to educate people about the importance and preservation of the mangrove habitat. More

The Mangrove tour was the highlight of my trip to Abu Dhabi. We paddled along narrow waterways, pristine beaches, and even disembarked a couple times to explore the flora and fauna. We spotted herons, flamingos, blue crabs, and the signs of a number of desert foxes! The tour had a very similar feel to tours I had done in Florida,... More

It is really wonderful to get away from busy and noisy streets of Abu Dhabi and just paddle through the mangroves. Staff is excellent, friendly, and helpful! More

This has to be one of the higlights of our trip to Abu Dhabi. Kayaking through the mangrove nature reserve was something special. We saw flamingoes (in the distance), countless herons, crabs and fish, and even tracked a red fox to his den. In our experience the trip was professionally organised, safe and well equipped. We all had separate single... More

On my recent visit to Abu Dhabi everyone in the family was able to pick one activity for everyone to do, mine was kayaking in the mangroves and we were not disappointed. The staff at Noukhada were all fabulous, from the booking to the guides that took us through the mangroves, we were treated very well and they made sure... More

If you like the outdoors and want to see a different side to Abu Dhabi, I recommend you take a 2 hour kayak trip into the mangroves with Noukhada. During the summer I took my mum who is 85yo on the mangrove trip and in December I did the trip with a young friend. It is an easy 2 hour... More
