Wonderful and Exhilarating
I had a great time on this trip. Everything went as expected based on the Viator description. The company staff at the docks, the boat, and the ship's captain were all fine. We saw lots of dolphins, which was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed most watching over the side of the boat, looking right down into the water, to see very close up all the dolphins swimming under and around the boat. The captain also did a great job in showing us the beautiful Omani coast. Seeing the coastline was equally important to me, and my expectations were met. The two-hour trip was a beautiful and exhilarating experience. At least one couple couldn't find two seats together on the boat, so be prepared for that possibility.

An Unforgettable Dolphin & Sunset Experience in Muscat
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sidab Sea Tours. The coordination from start to finish was seamless — a special shoutout to Shahid, who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.
Our captain, Faisal, truly made the experience unforgettable. He was determined to make sure we saw dolphins and patiently chased them until we were rewarded with an entire flock swimming alongside us — a magical moment we’ll never forget.
The sunset views and the Oman coastline were equally stunning, making the whole tour feel scenic and special. The experience was completely value for money, well-organised, and thoughtfully executed.
Highly recommend Sidab Sea Tours to anyone visiting Oman — professional, passionate, and genuinely invested in giving you the best experience possible.

A special day
Beautiful trip experience to see the dolphins (many who made evolutions in the air), the coast of the old city and then the coast towards Bandar al-Kairan where we snorkeled with many turtles and colorful fish and ended with lunch on a beach all to ourselves with a rich lunch box. The captain and his assistant were kind and explained what we saw and everything was organized to perfection. We were provided: mats, camping chairs, table and umbrella. A beautiful day.
