Great fun ,great work out - The guide was every helpful and nice. When my wife and son got stuck in the mangroves . He help pull them back on track. The trip was tiring due to incoming tide. But we loved the trip and would do it again.

Beautiful Kayak Tour! - My girlfriend and I did the kayak tour along the mangroves with Aquasports Qatar and it was absolutely gorgeous. Our guide Google/Goggle (sorry if I'm misspelling, but this is how he joked that people could pronounce his name!) was very friendly and kind, and he gave us a great tour of the mangroves and purple island. We also had time to swim and snorkel around purple island, and catch an incredible view of the sunset! The basecamp was also very beautifully set up, with very cozy tents, couches and chairs with a fireplace to enjoy some tea and coffee. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and can recommend it to anyone who visits Qatar, and who wants to explore the beautiful nature this country has to offer! We will be back soon!

It’s a sunset kayak trip to purple island and the mangrove forest - It’s better to come prepared to swim and get wet so no shoes, crocs are good, and don’t bother about water or juice as the host is providing them.

10/10 - Absolutely amazing experience, largely due to our wonderful guide - I believe his name was google. It’s not too physically demanding, the view was incredible, and it was quite a relaxing experience. It was wonderful to explore that part of Qatar.

Cool sunset tour - Amazing Tour. Good guide. Felt safe during the whole Tour. One recommendation: In the confirmation e-mail, people are asked to bring their own bottles. However, during the tour plastic bottles were distributed. This seems unnecessary as they land in the water (seen at the start of the tour).

Looks nothing like the pictures, don’t waste money - Complete scam. Barely any water to kayak and unbelievably hot. Was told I am the only one kayaking there and horrible customer support from this travel activity team. No regard for wellbeing of participants in the heat. Looked nothing like the pictures
