    Churna is an Island located 6.8 km North West of Mubarik Goth beach and approx 8 km West of Hub Power Plant. It measers 1270 meters from N to S and 945 meters at the widest point. The island is un-inhabited as there is no fresh water source on the island. The terrain of the island rises abruptly from sea level and reaches the highest point at 469 ft which, looking at the overall size of the island, is quite a steep ascend. The rock looks majestically beautiful, specially if viewed from south westerly direction. The island is famous for snorkeling, diving and fishing. The water around the island is crystal clear with lot of coral reefs and a good variety of coral fish. The island is around 45 minutes ride on the local hora boats. On a speed boat it will take much less. In recent times, many people from Karachi visit the island and unfortunately, do not clean the litter when they go back, resulting in quick degradation of pristine environment. Few volunteer groups have been doing the cleaning jobs but it wont help, unless the people get themselves educated.

    I must admit that I had no inkling of what to expect when I planned my visit to this place. My preconceived notions of an idyllic island with serene beaches, where I could bask in the beauty of the ocean and behold the vast expanse of the horizon, were dashed to pieces upon my arrival. It turned out that the place was not an island at all, but rather a mountain jutting out of the water, visible only from a boat. For non-swimmers, taking a dip in the ocean can prove to be a daunting task as the ocean currents can drag one away, and divers are not always readily available to lend a hand. Cliff diving is an activity best suited for proficient swimmers, as one plunges at least 7 feet deep into the water, requiring an ample supply of breath to resurface. It is imperative to bear in mind that embarking on the journey to the Charna Mountain, which takes a strenuous 2-hour boat ride, is at the mercy of Allah. The fisherman's vessels are often antiquated, and the motors can fail without warning. Moreover, in the event of such an incident, the fisherman does not have a radio or a walkie-talkie to communicate with the coast guards or the shore. Upon arriving at the mountain, one may feel drained and fatigued, and venturing into the ocean can lead to uncontrollable nausea, vomiting, and sickness for days on end. I speak from experience that this so-called adventure is not for the faint of heart and is far from enjoyable. Nonetheless, if you are still bent on going, I wish you the best of luck.

    Charna island is an amazing and beautiful picnic point for tourists specially Karachi. Approximately 02 hrs traveling from Karachi city to Mubarak village and then 7-9km boat distance from Mubarak to charna. Peaceful environment as we experienced. Snorkeling, scuba diving and cilff jumping are popular activities here. Strongly recommended to visit it.

    Located near Mubarak Goth, it is an uninhabited island in the Arabian sea. The island has gained fame recently in the past few years due to several recreational activities such as snorkeling, cliff diving, scuba diving and underwater photography. The area around the island is famous for scuba diving due to the presence of several different kinds of fishes and corals.

    Island with very sharp edges, difficult to ramp over the height to jump into the deep refreshing blue sea. Life jackets and safety first measure applied because the land is so far away and once you reached the charna island. Best for Scuba and snorkelling with proper instructor.

    I visit the island in April 2019 with my office colleges. The most beautiful thing about Churna Island is that water is very clear, a lot of coral reef and fishes there. A very good picnic and cliff diving site. You can only visit there during day time.

    A perfect picnic point for Karachi city people. Accessible from Hawksbay road. Beautiful blue sea, unique sea species and Island like an imaginary picture. Sadly it has been occupied by Pak Navy and tax payer civilians need their permission to visit.

    Charna Island is located in karachi. For going charna you have to hire a boat from Mubarak village and it takes around 45 minutes to reach that beautiful island. This island is famous for its crystal clear water. This is a famous place for snorkeling, diving and fishing. It is no doubt an awesome place to visit.

    Charna Island is most lovely place in Pakistan. Water of this Island is pure blueish color which reflects you. It is a most beautiful place. It’s ideal for those who love fishing and boating. Rent of boat is very less and reasonable according to place. Its only PKR. 4ooo to 6ooo. Swimming is also allow here. The best time to enjoy the boat ride is evening and night. You can feel yourself in night at here. Surrounding area is looking so lovely and romantic at night. Such an amazing and beautiful scenery ocean. People can hire small unique boats from Mubarak Village which provides all basic facility. You can spend here memorable and quality time with your friends and family. It is a very peaceful and calm place. The best thing of this place is underwater photography. Other than this, Charna Island have many more activities such as snorkeling, Jet Ski and cliff jump. Moreover, Charna Island along with pleasure and cold breeze filled with fresh oxygen. It is key feature of Charna Island. In addition, it have outstanding panoramic view. Island seems extremely mesmerizing. Highly recommended place for nature lover tourists. You fall in love with this island and you want to visit it again and again. But garbage in Island is increasing day by day. Concern department should take serious steps to safe the beauty of this place.

The island is a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkeling, and there are a number of different dive sites to explore.

    If you love all things sea, then Churna Island, which is only a two-hour drive away from central Karachi, is a must-visit. Here is where you can swim, snorkel and scuba dive around the island’s reef and gaze at a multitude of sea creatures, from fish to snakes and turtles that inhabit its warm waters.
