Where others go by boat, we go by SUP! Explore the biggest island & sandbank between West Bay & The Pearl-Qatar, chill under the umbrellas.

Early morning long distance paddling on mirror water from the The Pearl-Qatar, in front of the iconic Doha Skyline. 

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.

Includes:  guidance by Blue Pearl instructor, water & juice for hydration, watersports equipment (when booked with gear).

If using your own SUP gear, please be prepared with safety leash and  do a maintenance check on your SUP and paddle before heading out 

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.
