Kayaking in Dubai: Mangroves, Marina and Hatta

The short version

Paddling shows Dubai from water level.

Jebel Ali and Umm Al Quwain mangroves are rich in birdlife. It is the detail most guests tell us they wish they had known before arriving, and it shapes how the rest of the day is planned.

Practical details

Clear-bottom kayaks are popular around the Marina.

Prices across our water sports & beach range are quoted per person in UAE dirhams and include hotel transfers wherever stated on the tour page. Booking a few days ahead almost always secures a better slot than walking up on the day.

Tips that make a difference

Hatta's dam offers still water framed by mountains.

Our guides run this route several times a week, so if your dates, group size or mobility needs are unusual, message us before booking and we will suggest the version of the experience that fits.
