Noukhada

A pioneer of Abu Dhabi's kayaking tours, Noukhada takes you on an exciting low-impact journey through the natural mangrove forests dotted around the plethora of stunning islands in view of Abu Dhabi's gleaming city skyline. With a passion for developing eco-tourism in the UAE, the company also offers sailing, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding and dragon boating.

For AED 150, try either a low or high-tide one-and-a-half to two-hour kayaking tour to explore the mangroves or, for something a little different, book a Full Moon Tour at AED 200 per person. Noukhada also offers half-day island exploration tours for AED 250 per person, a beach BBQ for AED 350 per person, or an adventurous overnight camping stay for AED 450 per person. On top of a range of tours, Noukhada also provides kayaking and sailing membership, instruction, team-building events and programmes for schools.

Noukhada also operates from Yas Beach, where kayaks, SUPs, windsurf boards and sailing boats are available for tours and lessons, or to rent.
