Enjoy the sea, dolphins, fast boat and captain
I had a wonderful experience in a fast boat at sea. It was mighty to leave the wild rocks of Oman behind and spot dolphins on the high seas. They soon showed themselves. A large group looking for tuna. At one point they found it, the tuna shot out of the water, beautiful to see. Was well organized, very nice people.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

A very nice trip
It was a great boat trip and after 45 minutes in the open water we saw the first dolphins. The organisation can’t help it but at a certain time 8 speedboats were sailing around the schools of dolphins and I wondered if this was in tune with what the animals feel comfortable with. It felt like they were being chased. At the end, going back there was a great surprise with the coast tour and the beautiful rocks.
Operator response
Hello,
Many thanks for the feedback. Indeed you are right. When approaching the dolphins, we adhere to the guidelines set by The Environment Society of Oman. We will continue our effort to advise the Captains of the other tour companies to do the same.
Thank you:)
