The best of the best - The best company for snorkelling! Perfect organization with Captain Nasser and his second (both very friendly), beautiful photos and underwater videos that were sent to us for free, two great snorkelling spots, one with very many turtles (I saw at least 30) and a couple of octopuses that enchanted me, and the other crystal clear waters and a white sandy beach. The snacks were provided while we are in Ramadan period. I would like to go with them every day to the Daymanat Islands!

Outstanding and beyond 🌊 - Best trip on the island thanks to Fahad and Said! Nice welcome, nice boat, everything is well explained by Fahad and you can hear his love for the reef. He is also very experimented as diver instructor and knows so much about the reef. What I chose this company is that they really want to protect the reef and the animals which I I could see also during the day. The spots were truly amazing with time to snorkel to chill on the beach and see reef sharks, we really loved every minute. Thank you for everything

The best tour of the Daymaniat! - We were lucky enough to go out with Capt Nassir on the boat Monster Junior. The boat was immaculate, fast, comfortable with onboard shower and loo. The snorkel gear was in great shape too. Nassir and his crew really know the area and the marine life They are skilled at identifying sea life and went out of their way to point out species and behaviour. Top class guide. Thank you!

Private trip for snorkelling - We had an incredible experience with Daymaniat Shells on 14/2 with Captain Mboana. From the very beginning, communication with Lea was efficient, smooth, and very informative. Everything was clearly explained, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. The trip itself was absolutely amazing. We saw around 15 turtles in total — such a magical experience! We stopped at two different snorkelling spots as well as a beautiful beach. The water was crystal clear and the views were simply stunning. It was the first snorkelling experience for my 9-year-old, and Captain Mboana was incredibly helpful, patient, and reassuring, which made a big difference. He was also very thorough when it came to safety — both in the water and in ensuring the protection of the turtles and coral reefs. We really appreciated how seriously he took marine conservation while still making the experience fun and relaxed. A very special touch was the lovely brownies they arranged for my daughter’s sweet 16 — a truly delightful addition. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable and perfectly organised trip. We highly recommend Daymaniat Shells to anyone visiting Oman!

Perfect and great day - We had a great time. It was a perfect day. They helped us to spot turtles, fish and many other sea animals. Thanks to Nassir and his colleague to help us enjoy every second, prepare everything and cook for us. Food and bbq was delicious.
