Dolphin's hunt and travel along the coast of Oman from Musandam to Salalah, and Muscat has a fair share of sightings of spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and common dolphins. That is in addition to sightings of Whale Sharks (from May to October), false killer Whales, and occasional sightings of Humpback Whales. We do our best to get you to experience wildlife watching in a responsible manner to help protect our resident Dolphins and all other natural and human assets. The Omani coastline has many rocky faces and wadis and is described as the “Omani Fjords”. Amongst these Fjords are many quiet and naturally protected spaces for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP board use. On this experience, we have picked a snorkeling site that is shallow, rich in colorful corals and green and hawksbill turtles year-round. You might need to bring: Sun protection to suit your need. Please consider coral friendly options, to help us preserve the coral.

The tour was great. We went specifically to see whale sharks and captain Asad did his absolute best to find them for us. The boats are well maintained and clean, which is a huge plus.
Dear Reviwer, Thank you very much for your kind words! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip. We truly look forward to welcoming you again in the future! Best Regards,
It was a great experience. The boat was comfortable, the captain very nice. You have enough cold drinks in the boat, which you can help yourself to for free. As a snack you also get two small muffins. The boat trip started for us initially by finding and watching the dolphins. And we were not the only boat, several boats did this at the same time, so in my opinion the dolphins were scared off, among other things. Nevertheless, fortunately, we could see them. However, you should be aware that you can only see the dolphins from a distance. Afterwards we were driven back, and for all passengers except my husband and I the journey ended here. We were then the only ones driven again to snorkel. I was snorkeling for the first time and loved it. We had about an hour there.
Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you had an unforgettable time on our Dolphin Watching & Snorkeling tour. We hope to see you again soon for more memorable experiences! Best Regards, Shahad

An excellent tour which lasted all morning. We saw dolphins. But never felt that we were too close to stress them out. Only one niggle was that the music played on our boat was a little too loud at times.
Dear Reviewer, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great tour and enjoyed seeing the dolphins. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the music volume, and we'll certainly take that into consideration for future tours. Thanks again for your input, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Best Regards,
Our skipper Assad was most patient, helpful and knowledgeable in making sure that we had excellent sightings of dolphins whales and an amazing snorkelling experience

We've been waiting on another group who didn't show up. So the boat was only for 2 of us. We were going straight to a place where some boats were feeding dolphins and other boats with tourists were chasing groups of dolphins. There were hundreds of small dolphins. So this part of the trip was really nice. Our captain was successful and always scanning where other dolphins are. Then we went for snorkeling to another place with a small reef. We were snorkeling for Cca 45 minutes and saw lot of fish and a turtle. There was a water and juices on board. A small snack (cookie) was also ready for us. Would recommend
Dear Reviewer Guest Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience, It’s great that you enjoyed the dolphin sightings. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another trip soon!
I recently took a 3-hour dolphin watching and snorkeling tour with QTOURS.OM, and it was fantastic. The dolphin watching segment was thrilling, with knowledgeable guides who ensured we saw several pods of dolphins in their natural habitat. The snorkeling portion was equally impressive, with clear waters and vibrant marine life. The tour was well-organized, and the staff were friendly and professional throughout. Highly recommended for a memorable aquatic adventure!
