Purple Island Mangroves Kayaking

Al Khor (Qatar)

B-721285
$ 96.15

Location

Not far from the city, there’s a corner of Qatar that doesn’t feel like Qatar at all. The Purple Island Mangroves Kayaking tour takes you into that rare space — a place of still waters, green mangrove forests, and the quiet hum of nature doing its thing.

This isn’t a race. It’s not a thrill ride. It’s a peaceful, 90-minute journey where you’ll paddle through winding mangrove channels, pass by clusters of birdlife, and let the day move a little slower.

Explore Al Thakira’s Coastal Beauty

Located in Al Khor, Purple Island (also known locally as Al Shakira) is one of Qatar’s most unique natural sites. The shallow channels here are lined with mangrove trees, creating a habitat for fish, crabs, herons, and other wildlife. You’ll kayak at a relaxed pace, soaking in the views, stopping when you want, and gliding through calm waters that reflect the sky.

The experience is guided by trained kayaking professionals who ensure that even beginners feel confident and supported. Whether it’s your first time holding a paddle or your fiftieth, this tour makes space for both learning and enjoying.

A Responsible and Refreshing Eco Tour

This tour is designed with care — not just for your enjoyment but for the environment. The Purple Island Mangroves Kayaking experience is built around sustainable, low-impact exploration. You’ll be provided with high-quality kayaks, paddles, briefing and training, and US Coast Guard–approved safety jackets to keep the adventure secure and smooth.

You’ll also receive bottled water during the tour to stay hydrated as you explore this rare and peaceful setting.

Who This Tour Is For

  • Visitors looking for a peaceful nature activity
  • Families or small groups seeking outdoor bonding
  • Couples wanting a quiet moment away from the city
  • Anyone curious to experience Qatar’s natural ecosystems up close
