The agency does the tour with small groups, which is very appreciated because the organization in the port is not very good, the tour along the coast is beautiful and with many dolphins, the snorkeling is ok, in general the tour is good only it got very short.
Saw plenty of dolphins and unlike what I expected after reading some reviews, there were not too many boats. The dolphins weren’t very playful but there were many of them and we saw them for quite some time before snorkeling. I would say that people who tend to get seasick should take some medication beforehand, which I did and I was fine. During snorkeling, I have seen more turtles than anywhere else in the world. This could absolutely be called „swimming with turtles“ - unlike other places in the world, it is almost guaranteed you will see at least one…I saw 9 in 45min. I will say that the water was quite cold, and I would have preferred a Neopren jacket. But other than that it was great.
An efficiently run tour that worked seamlessly. Alas, no dolphins appeared that day but that wasn’t anybody’s fault. It didn’t matter because there were interesting seabirds to see and the snorkelling was great. Interesting fish and sea turtles. Then back to your hotel without a hitch.
Amazing! I mean I knew that seeing dolphins wasn't a guarantee but we were so lucky! We saw about 50 dolphins and a whale. And when snorkeling I swam with a sea turtle. The people in charge were also very professional, took their time and explained everything. They went first to a wrong hotel to pick me up but then they fixed it within 5 minutes. Really well organised
The dolphin observation worked wonderfully, there were really many animals to see. Then we went snorkeling, you could see several fish species and water turtles. On the way back, a lot was shown and explained along the coast. Lasts 3 hours, everything exactly as advertised. Really rewarding! Swim fins and diving goggles are provided. A warm jacket is recommended because of the relative wind on the speedboat. There would have been a longer tour, but for us the three hours were very pleasant and sufficient. It couldn't be better.
Thank you for choosing Our service Oman day tours
Communication and pick up were clear and punctual. Dolphins were not very playful on that particular day so they only got to the surface to take a breather, not much of a show. Many boats were following them around so that wasn't very helpful either. Snorkeling spot wasn't the best I have ever seen, not much variety in fish, but lots of Coral. Beautiful scenic route back to the port, but overall not very exciting to be honest. Maybe the group you share the boat with can also determine wether the trip is enjoyable or not, but I didn't feel like there was much animation although the guide was friendly and tried to make the best out of it.
Absolutely brilliant time - saw hundreds of dolphins - followed by snorkelling (saw 5 turtles). Couldn’t be better. The dolphin watching was sensitive - no other boats around. Snorkelling in the bay with other boats but all hundred metres apart. Fish and titles seem unperturbed. We were told not to stand on coral or touch anything - snorkels provided. All good.
We saw dolphins, but we felt sorry for them, "hunted" by all the speedboats. Noise and exhaust must be bad for the dolphins. Good organization, very nice and experienced crew who put a lot of effort into it. The snorkel trip was also worthwhile, we could observe turtles extensively.
People went to see dolphins and got a show. The boat had water, soda, and things to eat. About snorkeling, the spot that I was taken wasn't necessarily the best. Yes, there are some schools of fish but that's it.
TONS of dolphins—very common to see them (more rare in winter, I was told). It was fantastic to see them right off the side of the boat. Tons of other boats there, but we were more secluded for the snorkeling. Lots of fish and a little over an hour to snorkel. Water, sodas, and a few snacks provided. Covered boat for some shade. Drove through some cool rock tunnels in the return trip!
