Full-Day Mussandam Cruise with Lunch Dibba

Everything was well organized (entry permit, pick up points, etc) but there was a lot of waiting involved. We were picked up at our hotel at 6:20am, got back at 7:20pm and the actual boat trip was from 12:00 to 4:00 We had about 1,5 hours to swim and only stopped at one spot to get off the boat. The other stop was for fishing which was annoying for half of the guests. We had great company and enjoyed the views but would have liked more cruising or swimming and less waiting. Vegans: better bring your own food.

Timely pick up from our hotel. We were drove out of Dubai and then we change our vehicle to a bus. After about 2h on the road we crossed the border with Oman (all went very swiftly as company arranged all the documents on our behalf). We took a boat and sailed out. Beautiful views, very relaxing atmosphere. Staff were attentive and providing us with drinks. Once we anchored the boat, they took us out further on a speed boat. Views were amazing. We stopped to get the banana ride ready. I had a strange gut feeling and didn’t want to go first. Told my hubby we will wait for the second round. The ride was fast and seemed fun and then the boat guy dropped them off the banana ride. All part of the plan right? Except that one lady hit the other one with her head and she had a split lip (really badly). There was blood everywhere. The injured lady seemed to loose consciousness and had to be helped back on the motorboat. We helped her and her family to stop the bleeding with towels and we were telling the guy to take her to hospital asap. We went back to the big boat and the guy brought over 1st aid kit.. now I’m not being funny but you can’t use bandaid on a wound like that!! They eventually took the lady and her family back to the port on a speedboat. Rest of us just tried to enjoy ourselves. We did snorkelling, kayaking and sunbathing. Despite the accident we had a really good time. They have provided hot lunch and it was delicious (good choice of veg and non-veg dishes). We got back to the port late afternoon. The Italian family we’re back on the bus and the injured lady was there! 40 stitches on her lip but safe and with her family. We were so happy to see her. We drove back to Dubai and we were back at our hotel after about 3h. Despite the accident, it was a wonderful trip. I took one star away as staff were clearly not trained in first aid. Accidents happen but how you react to them really matter.

Lovely relaxing day on the boat. Well looked after. Nice food and friendly staff. Would recommend. We saw some dolphins which made our day,

Good organization. Professionalism and great precision, but above all courtesy and assistance. To be recommended

Read mixed reviews wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was worth every penny! Travel time each side is approx 1.5-2hrs. We sailed out for 35mins and then stopped to swim & snorkel, the snorkelling was amazing lots of different fish to see. Then we had banana boat rides and ate lunch which was really tasty! Salads, chicken tikka peices, baked fish, rice, roti etc we were offered plenty of cold drinks and tea & coffee throughout the day. The tour staff and the boat staff were very friendly and made the trip. We had one difficult passenger on board who kept moaning about certain things but they handled her really well! I’d suggest getting off the coach as quick as you can so you can get a sun lounger on the upper deck!

Great relaxing time on the boat, great time with swimming at sea, it is true there is a three hour drive but you are in a comfortable airconditionned bus and you can enjoy the landscape.

The tour has four downside 1. The tour take about 3 hours including pick up and drive to the destination. And Its pick up and drop off service is not organized well. It does first pick up and last drop off. So if you are scheduled to be picked up first. You will spend 1-2 hours more than other guests in the van 2. Its activity is not well organized. It has speed boat, banana boat and beach for the activities. The tour guide said he will call when the activity is ready to go but he didn’t do this which made me missing the banana boat activity 3. There are a lot of flies around the food it provided. Not sure the food is clean or not 4. The driver turned on a bright blue light in the van when the sky went dark when we returned. This made me extremely uncomfortable. Besides all the things above, the tour is very boring. Long travel long time in the van and the view is the same everywhere

On the 12-hour tour there were unfortunately 6 hours of travel time on the bus. The boat trip was very well organized and entertaining. We fully enjoyed the time on the boat. Would go back anytime.

First of all, the trip is worth a visit. All our trips were on time. It must be remembered that the time from Dubai to Dibba takes 3 hours. Once arrived the shipping company takes us to sea to see breathtaking scenery, mountains by the sea, wild beaches it is wouaou. But lunch gave us diarrhea. But the worst part is that they hire any employee. There was a perverted man who spent his time touching sex while watching girls. Despite my glances at the man to calm down he continued. For my part this company is not serious. Girls be careful. Photo of the person in pd.

So pleased to have selected this activity to do. Could not have been a better day. From start to finish I could not fault the friendly, efficient, well organised effort that the Mussandam team put in to look after us. The trip to the cruise, the cruise, activities and lunch were all exceptional Our driver Shelfi displayed total professionalism with his driving and directions at the border, his instructions and help got us through without any hitch. I would recommend this trip to everyone, Couples, families, teens, friends, business and solo. From the very young to the more mature. I cant say enough about this enjoyable experience. I I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
