Eastern Mangrove Kayaking by Husaak

Dhafeer Street, Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi

Description

The Mangrove National Park of Abu Dhabi covers 75% of the country's mangrove areas. The local ecosystem also includes salt marshes, mudflats, and algal communities. Husaak Adventures (previously called Sea Hawk) is one of the operators proposing 2h guided tours of the Eastern section during which customers will be able to spot a wide range of birds (herons / flamingos), fish, turtles, crabs and possibly some dugongs and dolphins. Tours start at 6h00, 8h00, 09h30, and 16h30. Single and double kayaks are available and guests are provided with the full set of life jacket, kayak, padded seat and paddle, as well as some drinking water bottles and a fruit salad as snack.

Access & Transport

The departure point is behind the Anantara Eastern Mangroves Abu Dhabi Hotel, on the city's main island. By car it is best accessed with the E10 / Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan St

Instructions & Recommendations

In the summer you may want to catch the first departure because of the heat and sun exposure. Don't forget to wear clothes that can get a little wet, a hat/cap and sunglasses. There is a changing and washing area.

Meta review

Recent online reviews are overwhelmingly positive though not all of them seem genuine. Reading between the lines, the guides provide a good service and guests generally have a good time on the water and get to learn more about the mangrove ecosystem. The operator seems to be one of the best rated in the city for this type of on-water activities.

Environmental & Social

Eco-friendly activity that educates visitors about the local ecosystems and provides economic opportunities to local independent operators.

Conclusion

The Mangrove Kayaking tour is a good option for those who have already hit the main city highlights (including residents) and looking for an outdoor / eco-oriented activity. Based on reviews, Husaak/Sea Hawk is one of the best rated operators but the excursion can quickly add up budget wise and represents debatable value in our opinion.

Key positive

One of the best outdoor activities in the city itself

Key negative

Quite a budget for a group / family

Suitability

Suitable for most ages (infant seat are available) but best to check directly with the operator for the min. age. Not accessible to visitors with reduced mobility
