What people are saying about Muscat

Great snorkeling, saw lots of turtles! The pickup was super easy and convenient. I highly recommend going on this tour if you’re in Oman. The water is beautiful and it’s a great way to cool off when it’s super hot outside.

Everything went fine. Saw a lot of dolphins and had the opportunity to take good photos. The return trip on the boat was great because there were still various sights to see. The return trip to the hotel also went well

in one word, great. Lucky enough to see 100s of dolphins... smooth pickup, friendly driver and captain. Worth 5 stars.

This Island tour was so worth it. The water was absolutely incredible and we saw so many Turtles.

Excellent trip from organization, activity and execution.
