Kayak Qatar’s Al Thakira mangroves and Purple Island with a guide, birdwatching, coastal views, refreshments, and optional Doha pickup.
“Kayaking in the mangroves was fantastic, both in open water and in narrow channels. We stopped half way through to enjoy a spectacular sunset and swim in the water. Our guide Joseph was very good - he was very informative during the trip and also walked with us back to the road so we could get our taxi home.”
