| 1: | Dr. Fahim K Sufi: Loved it! We went there on a weekend (Saturday night at 11 pm). The overall ambience was amazing. Kids were playing in the play area. The smal bridge on tip of the lake is beautiful and well lit 👌. … |
| 2: | Minugu Prakash: Beautiful and pretty big park with many children activities. There’s a lake in the middle of the park with ducks playing around and also a small bridge to cross that lake. It’s a clean family park good for a evening walk. There’s a small cafeteria too serving juices and snacks. |

| 1: | Mark G: Myself and some work colleagues fancied a spot of ocean fishing (first-timers) and Wissam came already highly recommended from a good friend of mine. Suffice to say we were not disappointed. Wissam was very responsive on the lead up to our fishing trip and professional throughout. We did suggest the type of we would like to catch to Wissam and he knew exactly where to find them! As you can see from the photos, we had a very successful trip! Some might say beginners luck, I would say Wissam’s knowledge and skill! After our trip we took our 25kg Cobia catch to the Mina Fish Market to have it cleaned and filleted. We had some grilled to enjoy the spoils of our labour that day and then we had a curry made for our entire office to enjoy, which they did throughly. I honestly couldn’t recommend Wissam enough if you are looking for an ocean fishing trip in Abu Dhabi. I doubt you will find a day out cheaper with any other chartered boat, so when you add in the entire experience with Wissam the bang for your buck is really second to none. Thanks again, Wissam!! We will see you again soon! |
| 2: | Shawn McCray: My fishing trip in Abu Dhabi. If you are wanting to have the best day ever, find fishon charter fishing trips. From drifting over many jigging spots or site casting active bait boils, the perfect days are possible! Dress appropriately for the sun, water is provided. Charge your phone and GoPro, you’ll have perfect moments to remember. |
| 3: | Fehmi Sakkal: Amazing experience. Kids were so happy to learn how to fish and even more thrilled when they and we were catching all of those fish! Wissam made the best out of a challenging weather by adjusting to the wavy sea. If you get sea sick, recommend you take some dizziness meds an hour ahead of your trip, could get wavy, but totally worth it! |

| 1: | Family Matters: Incredible experience!! I have been fresh water fishing for 20+ years, and this was still an exciting experience as with my very first cast out came a large king mackerel!! We went with the deep sea option with rod & reel, which were of the highest quality. The boat does have a bathroom. Cold CapriSun and bottled water are provided which was great. If you choose to you won’t have to even touch a fish they do it all for you, incredible service. The views of Abu Dhabi are incredible from the water which was a plus as you are boating out and coming back in. I will go again!! Things to keep in mind: – We were on the water from 10:00am to 5:00pm -no food provided so pack some food -you can choose to keep the fish or donate -there is shade on the boat but not the whole boat |
| 2: | Евгений Синица: Best fishing guides ever) really recommend them for trophy fishing in Abu Dhabi area. |
| 3: | prof.khaled othman: My experience with ProAnglers was wonderful. I took my family out on a trip for Eid and we were all so happy with the service. The entire experience was great and I would highly recommend for others to try ProAnglers. The price for the time we spent was also quite reasonable. |

| 1: | Ziad Haddad: Nice place for BBQ with family and friends during the evenings, but few people are keeping their garbage behind instead of getting it back with them and get rid of it in the waste skips on their way home. An idea for AD municipality to keep a few garbage bins there. You can enjoy fishing there too during high tide at different times of the day. |
| 2: | Jiranuwat Sapudom: Nice place for picnic or chill with friends and family. |
| 3: | Ryan Necitas Echevarria: Nice bridge and the surrounding water and shoreline. Went there few days ago but the bridge has a closed gate. There were a number of people with vehicles relaxing on the shore below the bridge. Some were having a picnic, having a barbecue. Others were angling or fishing with rod and lines. I also found one food truck in the area. Nice place to relax with friends, though the surrounding place has gotten small due to the fenced construction site. |

| 1: | Bruce Lawson: We have a day of absolute bliss. From first cast, we were on all the time. It was beautiful and the guys were absolutely wonderful. This is the best fishing trip I’ve ever done. Thanks a million |
| 2: | Laila Nejdaoui: I went on a day fishing trip with Capt. Greg and my son, and I had a fantastic experience and was a highlight of my trip to Abu Dhabi. We caught many large fish that were swiftly released back to the sea. The boat was extremely safe and capt Greg was very well equipped during the trip, with high standard of service and safety. I felt very comfortable having my son on board. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. |
| 3: | Cory Rhodes: Great operator for diving and sport fishing. Total professional, much nicer boats than the hotels. The owner is your guide so he puts in a lot of effort to make it fun. You won’t get that in the hotel charters. I would not put any faith in the one star ratings. I have been out with him many times and have never had any issues. The captain is very adaptable assuming what you want to do is safe and legal. |
