About Churna Island

A small uninhabited island located in the Arabian Sea, this is a hidden gem of Karachi. If you are adventurous and love to go for water sports, this place is for you. This place is not for people who do not know how to swim, it is only for adventurous water sports lovers. Churna island offers snorkeling, cliff diving, jet ski, and other sports.  The presence of widely varied marine life and different kinds of coral reef makes it popular for Scuba Diving. This area has many jellyfish, especially during October. The area is very peaceful and calm. It is perfect for an entire day expedition. We recommend you to go as a group to this place with a local guide. Fishermen of Mubarak Village go for fishing near the Churna Island.
