Beautiful views and hospitality - Nadi and Nisad accommodated us for a beautiful sunrise experience. Nisad was great at guiding us through the mangroves and was very patient and neither of us had been in a kayak before. We came back to the camp cold and wet but Nadi had warm tea and coffee awaiting us. I’d definitely recommend!

great experience and recommend others to try - the driver came to pick me up before the agreed time, drove me to the place for canoeing with a nice, pleasant ride. I was picked up by Peter, a wonderful young man and guide. Since I came for the first time, I got all the equipment and everything was explained to me. Peter is he was with me in the canoe the whole time teaching me about the mangroves and I had a great time.

Sunrise in the Mangroves - Amazing experience of watching the mangroves, the sound of the birds and sunrise while kayaking . A very relaxing and beautiful morning although it meant an early wake up call at 4 am, to be ready for my 5:15 pick up . My trip of 35 mins was smooth and the team where very helpful. I discovered I was the only one there and enjoyed the experience with my guide in the water. Even saw some crabs working their wonders . Got my explanation of the purple island part ( will not spoil it for all ) so enjoy it . Highly recomended

Excellent!! - I joined Discover Arabia for an afternoon of kayaking in the mangroves as the sun slowly set in late September. I would recommend this trip to anyone considering it - it was a great experience in beautiful surroundings. A special thank you to Peter who made it an extra enjoyable trip and was a great guide - 5*.

A gem that needs better management - A great experience that would not have happened without the courtesy and hard work of our host Peter. He made us feel welcomed and didn't spare any efforts in the trip despite being the only person manning the camp and the group tours. However, the camp needs to be renovated with more people to maintain it, the off road route is not suitable for all cars which is not clarified in the trip details. Also, we booked a trip at 6:00 am but the night before the trip I sent a message to confirm the site and I got a response that 6:00 am ia low tide you better come at 7:30. How would I know that change if I didn't send the message, communication with the trip agent needs to be proactive and timely.

A hard night at the mangrove - We were excited as we saw many positive reviews. However, our trip was filled with problems: they started the 4pm (advertised time) at 6pm in complete darkness- at low tide while there was 20 miles an hour sustained winds. The water was so shallow that everyone’s kayak repeatedly became stuck on the sand. The group decided to abort efforts after an hour, stuck in sand. The owner was no where to be found when we returned to base. And to top it all off, the transport van had no gas- requiring us to wait 90 minutes before one of the guides returned with gas. There was no offer to partially refund as the owners were not there and made no attempt to contact us. The positive part of the night was our delightful guide who supported everyone throughout the night.
