Karachi Beach Adventure Tour (2 days itinerary)

Karachi Coastline is “blessed and bountiful” for fishermen and adventure seekers exploring snorkelling, scuba-diving, paragliding and angling. The mubarak village lies at a distance of about 60 kms from Karachi to the NW of Karachi is a small fishing village with scattered houses. Unlike Kemari, water here is very clear and often shows hues of blues and greens. One can clearly see the barren Charna Island from here. This village is mostly visited by saltwater anglers to quench their thirst for this addicting sport. Small boats with noisy diesel engines are available to take them to different fishing spots. The main attraction of this beach is the course grained golden sand which looks beautiful during the backwash. Seagulls are also very common around the village.

The following itinerary provides an overview of how you can spend an ultimate beach & adventure holiday in Karachi:

Day 1:

Visit to WWF Wetland Center

You can also take part in one of many activities organized by WWF such as fresh water lakes tour, turtle watching, bird watching or take a tour to the mangrove forests.

The snorkelling tour starts from Rs 3500 and includes transportation, food, equipment and basic training.



Green Turtle Watching

After snorkelling or scuba diving, you can spend rest of your evening by watching green turtles at Sandspit coast. Turtle watching is an unforgettable experience of observing egg laying process of marine turtles along the sandspit after the sunset. The fascinating experience helps you understand shared use of the beach by both turtles and human. Release of hatchlings or baby green turtles into the sea adds more excitement to this experience.





Overnight Stay at Beach Hut

To make your stay more memorable and for lesser traveling, it is recommended to book a beach hut for your overnight stay. There are several beach huts on French beach, Sandspit and Tushan beach which are popular for turtle watching. For luxurious overnight stay, Sheraton hotel also has a beach hut on Sandpit. So delight yourself basking until sunset, enjoy dinner on a moonlight dawn and wake up to the fresh breeze of the charming beach.





Day 2:

Start your day from the beaches. The West Karachi is home to some of the region's most beautiful beaches including Hawkes Bay, Sandspit and French beach. You can experience sun rise if you are staying overnight in any of the beach hut. You can also enjoy Jet Ski in the morning.








Paragliding at Mubarak Village

Though Karachi is not a very suitable place for Paragliding but despite that Karachi Gliding Club and EMAC periodically arranges Paragliding in Mubarak Village, on the beach. The “air-field” at Mubarak village is a relatively flat piece of ground beyond a 25-foot hill, adjacent to the Hub Creek near Sunehra beach. The smoke cascading out of the sky-scraping chimney of Hubco Power Plant across the creek is one of the indication of the wind direction as well as air-socks are pulled up for the direction.
