“Really enjoyed our kayaking trip, and Mohammend was a great guide - highly we went on the early morning trip which was beautifully peaceful and saw the sun rise. Communication could have been a little clearer, and had to wait a bit to get the transport back to Doha, hence 4 instead of 5 stars, but minor points - well worth going with these guys, otherwise great value.”

“Peter was knowledgeable and taught us about the types of mangroves and some of the wildlife in the area. Going at sunset was pretty, but visibility was very limited in the second part of the excursion. Make sure you go with someone you work well with as you are in a double kayak. It was nice to have changing areas. We really enjoyed our experience overall.”
