Why you should check out Abu Dhabi’s Wadi Adventure

Heading to Al Ain? 

Get ready to have a totally “oar-some” time at the UAE’s first-ever manmade whitewater rafting, kayaking, wakeboarding  and surfing attraction – Wadi Adventure.

The levels of fun will be turned up rapidly once you start navigating your way through crashing waves on an adrenaline-charged whitewater rafting experience at the base of Al Ain’s Jebel Hafeet, the second highest mountain in the UAE.

Whether you’re new to the activity or have dipped your toes in the water before, you’re in for plenty of thrills and spills.

There are three different levels of whitewater rapids available and no previous experience of the sport is necessary.

All raft trips include a professional guide, a short briefing on the essentials, and all the safety equipment you could need. With that taken care of, all that’s left is to make an almighty splash.

If rafting doesn’t really take your fancy, there are loads of other activities available.

These include watersports such as surfing, kayaking and wakeboarding, plus aerial adventures featuring a 200m zip line, giant swing, airpark and climbing wall, which at 15m high is suitable for all levels with six different routes to choose from.

You can also buy day passes to enjoy the beach, family pool and kids’ splash area, which is the perfect place to relax as you recover from all the excitement.

For those with a sense of adventure, this is an exhilarating experience that is really not to missed.
From Dhs65 (adults), Dhs45 (kids below 1.2m). Open daily 11am-7pm. Jebel Hafeet, Al Ain, www.wadiadventure.ae (03 781 8422).
