📖 About

The Middle East's first purpose-built whitewater park pumps man-made rapids down three kayak/raft channels (up to class 4) and fires a 3-metre surf wave in its dedicated pool — all against the improbable backdrop of Jebel Hafeet's wall.

Around the water: ziplines, a giant swing, climbing walls, an airpark and family splash zones — enough that mixed groups split happily between adrenaline and paddling-pool tiers. Sessions are coached, gear included, standards high.

⭐ Highlights

  • Class 2–4 man-made whitewater channels
  • The 3-metre surf pool wave
  • Ziplines, swing and climbing add-ons
  • Coached sessions, gear included

💡 Insider Tips

  • Book surf slots ahead — the wave has a fan club.
  • Rafting needs confident swimmers; kayak lessons don't.
  • The full-day pass beats à la carte past two activities.
