This page is currently an availability guide: no active booking package is enabled. The AED 99 reference price should not be treated as a confirmed ticket rate.

What the Experience Is Like
After check-in, participants normally receive a life jacket, paddle and basic instructions. You then kayak within the area permitted by the on-site operator. The mountain backdrop, reservoir and bridges create strong photography opportunities, particularly when visibility is clear.
Conditions can change due to weather, water level, maintenance or operational restrictions. Staff at the venue have final authority over routes, capacity and safe operation. Even on calm water, follow every instruction and keep the life jacket fastened.
