With a guide leading the paddle, the coastline and its habitat become the main attraction. Tide and weather shape the route and give the visit a very different pace from the city’s museums and the Grand Prix. 365 Adventures supplies the kayak, paddle, life jacket and briefing, with water included. That makes it straightforward to try a guided session without travelling with your own equipment. The time on the water is only part of the day: allow for the road journey north, meeting the group and getting ready at the camp. This is a good choice for a free morning or afternoon before the race weekend. The operator’s meeting arrangement begins at Al Meera in Al Thakira, with the group continuing to camp from there. Keep the return journey booked as well. Your booking supplies the session length and tide-dependent start. ![Tandem kayak in a narrow mangrove channel at Purple Island]() Desert & active adventures **Purple Island mangrove kayaking with 365 Adventures** Doha and Lusail Kayakers on shallow water beside the Purple Island mangroves Tandem kayak in a narrow mangrove channel at Purple Island Colourful kayaks beside the sandy mangrove shoreline 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit #### Cost & admission Dated per-person operator quote; equipment and water included, meals and towels excluded. #### When to go Tide- and weather-dependent sessions; the operator confirms the booked start and duration.
