The session covers 9 kilometres depending on the tides, weather conditions and the season. We take you on some of the most scenic SUP routes in Qatar that we have explored over the years, anchor down at sandbanks, take regular hydration breaks and enjoy some quality time out on the water.

SESSION DESIGN

Inviting all advanced, fit and curious SUPer who cannot wait to venture beyond what the eye can see from the QSUP Base. We anchor down and walk on sandbanks at low tide*, check corals, spot flying fish, sting rays, flamingoes and hundreds of cormorants on the way. 

*Please note reaching the island is dependent on the ability level of the group. The paddle is for intermediate+ paddlers due to the distance and open water conditions.
