Plentiful dolphins on a fab tour! - A fabulous tour, there were 6 of us on a boat (our family of four and two others), so not crowded at all. The boat moved at a great speed, which afforded us some very fresh sea breeze on a very hot day, which in itself was divine! Captain Bisil (I think this was his name) was very friendly and offered a large coolbox of water and juice cans, plus a bowl of fruit. We swiftly found a pod of dolphins and got up fairly close, then moved onto other areas to see more and more - the sea seems to be teeming with them! We saw jumping tuna at times too! Overall, an excellent experience with plenty of dolphin spotting in the wild, and we even saw a turtle in the harbour on return.

Excellent experience. - The dolphin watching tour was fantastic. Everything was perfect from start to finish, both with the organization and the cruise itself. Captain Talib did a great job getting close to the dolphins, and we saw countless of them. Highly recommended!

Priceless Experience with Exceptional Customer Service! - Excellent service from check-in to disembarking. There was a lot of traffic and we were running behind. They called to check on us and held our tour. Then offered as an alternate longer tour at no extra cost. Had a wonderful experience seeing so many dolphins, turtles and fish. Worth every penny and best customer service. Thank you. Even if you don’t see anything the boat ride itself is great and the entire Gulf of Oman is gorgeous. Seeing the dolphins in the open sea of course is desirable and an equally beautiful part of the activity. Book it (no regrets).

Oman Dolphin Watching Tours - I recently went on a dolphin watching tour with QTours, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience! My friend and I had an amazing time, and the whole trip exceeded our expectations. The tour was well-organized, and the staff was friendly. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins up close, and the boat ride itself was very comfortable and scenic. I highly recommend QTours. It was truly a memorable experience!

Exciting experience watching dolphins in their natural habitat. Added bonus was seeing the coastline from the boat. - We had a truly unforgettable experience on this tour. The speedboat was modern and clean, with lots of shade, and there was plenty of cold soft drinks and bottled water. Mahmood was our driver and guide. He was very professional, friendly and took care of the passengers very well. The dolphins were equally professional, taking their jobs seriously by turning up every now and then at the surface of the ocean to show off their swimming and leaping skills to great effect. The tour ended with an incredible coastal tour which showcased the beauty and magnificence of the coastline of Oman. I highly recommend this tour and the tour operator QTours.
