“Wadi Adventure in Al Ain”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

There is a wave pool and plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing. I spent most of my time riding the zip line, climbing around the Air Park, and White Water rafting. Rode the rapids facing forward, going backwards and sideways. You will get very, very wet on this adventure. One of the best adventures I've ever taken. Would do it... More

“Wadi Adventure”

Reviewed 4 June 2013

It was a good time. It offers some fun and experiences you can not really get in the UAE. We went on a Sat. towards the morning and it was great with not too many people. The prices are a little expensive. There is a 100 AED entrance fee, then you pay for each activity. So the 100 AED entrance... More

The entrance fee includes access to all of the park's facilities with the exception of the heavily staffed activities. Among other things, this includes a beautiful swimming pool and splash pad for kids (photos available above). We have benchmarked the cost internationally and find... More

“Different experience within the UAE”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

Went there with the family and had a good time. The white water rafting was a lot of fun (doesn't compare to real white water rafting, nevertheless a good attempt at creating the natural effect) Unfortunately was tired after the white water rafting experience, so just stood back and watched the rest of the family enjoy the zipline, giant swing...

“We will come back!”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

After staying at the Mercure Jabel Hafeet the previous day, we drove to Wadi Adventure (at the bottom of the mountain) and started with the rafting we had pre-booked (but only paid on the day).The place was very quiet for a Saturday but it was quite hot. We were very impressed with the set up of the activity centre. There... More

“Great weekday day out”

Reviewed 30 May 2013

Had a day here on a Sunday in May (kids had day off) and were surprised to find the place deserted. Shared it with around 5 other families. Was a bit hot though :-) Used a groupon so cost was reasonable, and booked rafting beforehand - which you need to do. Would be a good idea to book anything you... More

“Great day out!”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

Fantastic place for kids, surfing and white water rafting were the favourites. Zip line and airpark worth spending an hour after all water activities.

“Desert Waves”

The waves are awesome, facility was amazingly clean and staff super friendly and helpful. The family did private surf session and my only complaint was some of the surf boards are in really bad condition and to be replaced. The waves were very good but it would have been nice to have a little more insight as to where to... More

When you eventually manage to find this place it really is a great day out. We did the white water rafting, air park and giant swing. The staff were excellent, well trained, and friendly.

“Lots of water-based fun in the heart of Al Ain”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

Wadi Adventure is one of the UAE's latest activity destinations, and makes for a fantastic day out! I didn't go surfing, therefore cannot really comment on that; however, the kayaking, rafting and climbing obstacle were awesome. Plus, zip-lining across the park is something you shouldn't miss out on doing! The instructors are a pretty cool bunch and know what they're... More
