Not quite what we expected

This tour was not what we expected. The boat was different than shown. It was a 2 level boat not a traditional boat. There were more people than we expected, over 50. The tour of the coast was much shorter than expected. We spent most of our time anchored in a cove for water activities. We were expecting more of a scenic boat cruise. The staff were great. The food was good. Bus was comfortable and it is a nice drive through the mountains. Border crossings take considerable time, there was a very long wait at the border coming back to the UAE. It is a very long day, pickup was not available in our location so our day started at 6 am and we got home at 9 pm. Booking through Trip Advisor was much more costly than if we had booked through a local company.

Easy way to add a country count!

A good way to add a country count while in Dubai - while the travel time was long, but that was expected and the tour group made the passport control process easy to cross the border. Lunch was also delicious and they did try to fit in a variety of activities. I would recommend it if you want to get a glimpse of Oman.

Operator response

A long day, and a good way to spend time on the coast

They picked me up at 6:30am from the hotel in Dubai, and I was transferred in a nice bus to the boat site on the coast. The staff tried hard to engage everyone in the activities. Lunch was tasty, and there were lots of drinks and fruit with cookies offered for snacks.

A bad experince

I don’t recommend this tourbwith thus company. I’ve booked 4 tickets and paid the money. After few days they told me the tourbis fully booked and they will cancel my booking. They have no credibility. Don’t waste your time with them and find another tour to go in.

Dear Guest, We would like to address that you booked the tour for Eid holidays for cruise which was fully booked. We were not taking anymore bookings but your booking came through and we tried to accommodate you and also informed you in advance that it will be on chance. You were informed about the situation the next day when you booked the tour. You got full refund for the booking too. We offered you the tour for next days but you rudely denied. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused Good day

5-Star service

As a solo traveler, i was concerned about the tour but i must say i am so happy that i took this tour and used the services provided by Desert oryx. They did the pre-approval for me. Pick up was on time. Guide was nice and courteous. Cruise was nostalgic. We all sang and danced with music. Food was very tasty and number of cuisines to choose from. I would recommend and choose this company any day without hesitation.
