Customer Reviews
James Wilson
United Kingdom"The Overnight Adventure was the highlight of our Dubai trip! After days in the city, the mountains were a refreshing change. The kayaking on Hatta Dam was spectacular, and camping under the stars was magical. Our guide Mohammed was knowledgeable and made sure everyone was comfortable with the activities. The mountain biking trails were suitable for our mixed ability group. Highly recommended!"
Sophia Chen
Canada"We did the Day Adventure and wished we had booked the overnight option! The hiking was moderate difficulty with breathtaking views. The mountain biking was fun even for beginners like us. The Heritage Village was interesting to learn about traditional mountain life. Only suggestion would be more time for swimming in the rock pools. The lunch provided was delicious and plentiful. Great value for the price!"
Robert Johnson
Australia"As an avid mountain biker, I was skeptical about the quality of the trails and equipment, but I was pleasantly surprised! The Premium Adventure package was worth every penny. The bikes were high-quality, and our guide took us to some challenging trails that weren't part of the regular tour. The camping setup was comfortable, and the food was excellent. The sunrise yoga was a perfect way to start the second day."
Maria Rodriguez
Spain"We took our children (ages 10 and 12) on the Overnight Adventure, and they absolutely loved it! The guides were patient and made sure the kids were safe during all activities. The kayaking was their favorite part. The camping experience was comfortable even for non-campers like us. Only downside was that it got quite cold at night in February, so bring warm clothes if you go in winter. Overall, a wonderful family experience!"
