The 2 km boardwalk sits just above the water, so you walk through the mangroves rather than past them.
Underwater LED lights on the kayak show the fish and roots beneath you as you paddle the channels after dark.
The sunrise departure at 5am puts you in the mangroves behind Reem's towers before the heat and the jet skis.
A shaded 3.5 km promenade with viewing platforms runs right along the edge of Mangrove National Park, free and open around the clock.
The protected park holds most of the emirate's mangrove forest, and from the promenade you can watch herons and flamingos 15 minutes from downtown for free.
A guide takes you deep into the channels of the national park that you cannot see from the promenade, with a stop for photos.
