Magic day with Dolphins and turtles
Amazing experience watching dolphins and swimming with turtles 😎. The teenagers loved it. They even said it was worth waking up at 6.30 am for this... Those who know will appreciate the magnitude of the compliment. Special thanks to Captain Faisal and crew Barak for the great service !

Quite literally out of a dream!
My friend and I both agree that it’s one of the best things we’ve ever done! It was incredible - we’d even seen a whale on the way and so many dolphins up close! While snorkelling there must’ve been about 50-100 turtles and countless colourful fish, never see such crystal clear waters! Then we went on shore and had lunch on the white sandy beach - quite literally out of a dream! Thank you Sibad Tours - can’t wait for my next adventure!

Nice snorkling trip
Very nice trip! We saw a lot of turtles and mini Sharks. Coral life was medium/good. I hope they try to sustain this beautiful coral.

Magical Experience
In Miscat this is one of the top to do trips. Went on the Daymaniyat tour on our holiday and effortless pickup, lovely short drive to the marina. Water and islands were serene and our captain Faisal was the best, he took us out to a pod of dolphins, swam with turtles and he also came snorkelling with us and found some small harmless sharks to see….quite simply the most friendly tour skipper we have met and the one of the best snorkelling trips.
