Our beautiful island of smiles has a way of charming residents and visitors alike. There’s no doubt about it. Here are some fun activities for you to enjoy across the island this sunny August.
HORSE RIDING BY THE BEACH
Arabian horses are known across the world for their sheer beauty, intelligence and gentleness. You can ride. With Kashta Tours, you can actually enjoy a picturesque sunset ride at one of Bahrain’s beaches. The best part is it’s a leisurely hour-long walk with a guide.
WAKEBOARDING IN DURRAT
Bahrain is an island, so we’re naturally surrounded by the beautiful sea. If you’ve got a bit of a daredevil in you and would love to take a dip, why not try your hand at wakeboarding? Take a drive down to Durrat Al Bahrain and reach out to Bahrain Wake between 9am and 6pm for a cable ride across the sea. Safety gear is provided for this adrenaline-pumping experience.
KAYAK THROUGH BAHRAIN’S MANGROVES
Here’s a fun fact, Bahrain plans to quadruple the number of mangroves along the Kingdom’s coast by the year 2035. Why are mangroves important? Well, they help combat climate change, improve fish stocks and purify water. With Island Activities, you can paddle through thousands of these with your friends and family for a unique island experience.
PADDLEBOARDING IN BAHRAIN BAY
Imagine this, you’re just by the capital paddling away amongst some of the most beautiful modern architecture in the city. Well, with Beach Culture you wont have to imagine. Get your friends and family together for a relaxing paddle across the beautiful Bahrain Bay. You can also opt for a kayak experience.
EXPLORE JARADA
Jarada is a beautiful sand bank that appears during low tide and is known for its surrounding crystal-clear waters. Boat rides to the little island make for an exciting activity with friends and family on a Friday morning. What makes this even more exciting is the fact that tour bookings usually include refreshments, a BBQ set up and music, so it’ll make for a great beach day away from the city. Group bookings of atleast ten people are usually required for these trips, so make sure to get your friends and family together, and top up on your summer tan!
GET YOUR STEPS IN AT BAHRAIN FORT
For a fun activity any time of the week, head to Bahrain Fort by yourself or in the company of a friend or family member for a nice walk. This renowned site is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and also has a paved path going all around the fort. So put on your walking shoes and get your steps in while you enjoy the sounds of the waves lapping against the Karbabad coastline.
TRY YOUR HAND AT POTTERY IN AALI
In the famous village of A’ali, you can find several pottery shops selling traditional pots. What most people don’t realise though, is that you can also try your hand at it. Enjoy a fun morning or afternoon at Taqseem Oasis where you are provided with all the materials you need and guidance to finish your masterpiece.
