Daymaniyat Islands - Turtle Snorkel & Kayak Adventure
Description
Laissez Muscat derrière vous et rencontrez notre sympathique équipage alors que votre aventure en mer commence. Profitez d'une promenade en bateau de 45 minutes à travers la mer d'Arabie bleu profond, passant la côte pittoresque de Mascate sur le chemin des superbes îles Daymaniyat, l'une des principales réserves marines d'Oman. Alors que l'eau devient turquoise cristalline, votre capitaine jette l'ancre pour un bref briefing sur la sécurité, la conservation et à quoi s'attendre. Plongez dans deux endroits animés remplis de jardins coralliens colorés, de poissons tropicaux et de tortues marines gracieuses. Vous pouvez même apercevoir des raies mantas, des murènes, des requins de récif ou un requin baleine. Entre les sessions, détendez-vous à bord avec des sandwichs, des fruits frais et des boissons fraîches. Lorsque l'accès à l'île est ouvert (novembre-avril), explorez les plages de sable blanc et les formations rocheuses spectaculaires. Glissez sur nos kayaks cristallins et observez la vie marine sous vous. Notre équipage capture des photos et des vidéos GoPro tout au long de votre voyage. Après un dernier plongeon ou kayak, profitez du retour à Mascate, souvent accompagné de dauphins enjoués.

Itinéraire
Les îles Daymaniyat sont une réserve naturelle marine classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO composée de neuf îles inhabitées, situées entre 16 et 20 km au large des côtes de Mascate. Connues pour leurs eaux cristallines, leurs plages de sable blanc et leurs récifs coralliens animés, elles sont l'une des destinations phares de la plongée en apnée et sous-marine en Oman. Les récifs abritent une riche vie marine, notamment des requins de récif, des raies, des poissons tropicaux colorés et des tortues vertes et imbriquées, une espèce menacée. Les îles servent également de lieux de nidification pour les oiseaux marins migrateurs. Les débarquements sur les plages sont limités de mai à octobre pour protéger les tortues nicheuses, mais la plongée avec tuba et la plongée sont autorisées toute l'année. Avec des profondeurs de 20 à 25 mètres, la zone offre une visibilité idéale pour la photographie sous-marine et les rencontres marines. Que vous soyez amoureux de la nature, plongeur ou plongeur occasionnel, les îles Daymaniyat promettent une éco-aventure à couper le souffle dans l'une des zones protégées les plus diversifiées d'Oman.

If your a foreigner and worried about a language barrier, have no fear. Everyone speaks English really well. From the moment i walked in staff were helpful attentive and friendly. There was a bit of a mix up with my booking but the front desk agent solved everything with ease and in a calm manner. He took the time to get to know everyone and give recommendations about the area. The boat ride was so nice with fresh air and open seas 🌊 The tour guide Captain Zak who took us around the different areas, explained all areas in detail and provided us with interesting information. We all thought he was really funny 😂 He was attentive to the needs of the group and was also open and approachable. I was a beginner snorkler and needed a lot of assistance but Captain Zak was happy to assist and even encouraged me to swim to further areas that had an amazingly large amount of animal and plant life. I was happy that Captain Zak took the time to point out all the plants and animals during snorkeling. I was really scared of the sea snakes, but he made sure to keep far from that area. The animals dont seem to be scared of people and will swim up close to you. For those concerned about environmental sustainability practices and possible harm to the environment, there was an official environmental patrol that asked all boat group captains for permits and also asked questions to the captains to make sure the area is being protected. We also were not allowed to enter the animal habitat on land as it was the incubation period of some animals that lay eggs. We also got a chance to collect trash while we went snorkeling. Overall this trip blew me away. Im glad to have made the decision tobjoin this trip. I will bring a group gor some other tours too InshaAllah 💖
The service was great but they could offer pick up from the hotel especially if they have changed the date of the adventure the night before the excursion day. I can understand that problems can happen but that day we should be traveling home and it would have been nice if they had helped us a little extra, i mean to me and my five year old son. It wouldn't have been a big problem if it was just me who was affected but I was with my five year old son and then they should have been able to show more understanding.
Daymaniyat was incredible, but seeing a whale shark in the wild was definitely the highlight. An amazing experience and a reminder of how impressive nature can be. 🐋🤿
It was a great experience for me and my family. We had a great, fun and enjoyable trip. We hope next time we can spend even more time
Everything was great, thanks to Captain Abdullah.
Great excursion with Muscat Sea Adventure, definitely a highlight of our trip! We saw plenty of turtles and had enough time to enjoy the islands, snorkeling and kayaking. Thanks!!
Amazing staff and experience
Very nice trip. Lots of titles and crystal clear sea. Nice way to start or end an Oman trip!
This was an amazing experience. The crew were so friendly, experienced and helpful. They looked after our every need and made sure we had the best possible experience. Their experience meant we saw so much sea life that we would have missed without their guidance - sea turtles, a baby reef shark, an octopus and even a whale shark. I would definitely recommend a trip to the Damaniyat Islands with Muscat Sea Adventure to everyone.
My friend and I went snorkeling nearby the Dimaniyat Islands on February 12, 2026. It was a beautiful view and decent weather. My friend and I had a blast snorkeling. We got to see plenty of sea turtles, octopus, sting rays, sea cucumbers, and fish. The only thing I didn't like is seeing OTHER guides/tourists standing on the corals or harrassing the animals. Luckily I don't think our guides did that, but I think there should be serious consequences for people who harrass the coral or animals. I do think that guides in general can do a better job at speaking out about that when they see it happen. We got to go to the beach after snorkeling, and explore the island, lay on the beach, kayak, or do more snorkeling. I also appreciated that the guides took snorkeling videos of us upon request as well as of the animals. It was overall an enjoyable excursion that I highly recommend with this company.
