Excellent half day activity in Muscat - We had a spare day in Muscat so went on this snorkelling and dolphin watching tour. We saw a huge amount of dolphins, then beautiful fish and turtles while swimming around some coral, the tour guide/boat captain was excellent. We recommend this trip as they even pick you sup and drop back to your hotel.

A dream trip - close to nature - What a wonderful trip. Our crew was very nice, the atmosphere on board was fantastic and our captain was able to track down a large dolphin family. Also the snorkel stop was a madness. A dreamlike bay, crystal clear water and we were even lucky enough to see turtles. Safety is just as important.

Worth the price. Best dolphin tour I’ve been to. - The experience was amazing. One of the highlight of our Oman trip. The tour was superb! The pick up timing, the boat and gears were clean and in top condition.The drinks are ice cold and plenty. The main highlight was seeing the dolphins up close. Shout-out to our guide Mr. Lulu he was kind, knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend booking this tour. Best value for money.

Wonderful - Firstly, fantastic communication. When our collection was late ( it happens!) it was reassuring that my message was replied to immediately. All previous communication had been dealt with promptly too. On arrival, it was very well organised. Our boat captain was great. Fortunately, we hadn’t travelled far before we saw dolphins. I’ve no doubt in the expertise and comms between boats that they let each other know where to go but it was nice to see them, and be able to relax, so early. Even at a low season time there were a fair few boats and it was disappointing to see some of these cross across pods meaning some had to divert to a different path than their mates. It’s their territory that we are invading so as tourists we should respect that. We had a lot of opportunity see see many many groups before the captain skilfully knew when we were ready to head off. On the way, he paused by a fisherman he knew so we could take a look at his yellowfin tuna! The trip to the snorkelling area was fun - a nice speedboat ride! The first attempt at a stop was quickly dismissed as the water was murky with plankton, etc. Good on the captain - he could have just made us swim there. He found another spot, still not clear but a little better. It was great to have all the equipment provided and we felt looked after. The trip is well worth doing. All very professional. Strangely, we didn’t get our lunch but water/Diet Coke were provided.

No dolphins and no turtles - We didn't see any dolphins and we didn't see any turtles either when snorkelling. They tell you, when you're already on the boat, that there's no guarantee that you'll see any dolphins. Meaning that it is simply a guess and frankly speaking it shouldn't be called a dolphin tour. They should rather name it a boat tour with a chance of seeing dolphins.
