You should go over month if you can! - The staff was wonderful. I really appreciate the communication to ensure I had all documents, confirmation of pickup and time. I had the best time on the excursion. There were so many water activities available. I only wish the excursion was longer because I was so relaxed and had so much fun!

Awesome, Amazing & Excellent - My Full Day Musandam Cruise from Dubai was an absolutely incredible solo adventure. The entire experience, from the smooth pickup to the breathtaking "Norway of Arabia" scenery, was faultless and felt incredibly welcoming even as a lone traveler. Snorkeling in the clear waters, enjoying the delicious lunch, and simply soaking in the serene atmosphere aboard the dhow made for a truly rejuvenating and unforgettable day. Highly recommend this trip for anyone seeking stunning natural beauty and a relaxing escape!

Best day spent - The view was amazing.
We enjoyed alot.
I have done a day trip myself, but you need to start very early in the morning before 6am. It will take you roughly 3 hours including the time at borders (depending where you start from). I was very happy with the service of trip advisor.

A splashing 💦 Musandum Cruise Experience - I have recently experienced one of the best outdoor activities in the UAE i.e., Musandum Cruise along with my family and I'm happy that I have had it thru Golden Trip Travel and Tourism, since they (Mr. Hassan) have managed it quite well right from the beginning. Our pickup was sharp in the morning here from JVC, and then we straight went to the Oman border, there we on boarded the cruise after the formalities done, and embarked on this beautiful cruising experience. Actually the sea has always fascinated me and I'm happy when I'm around shining water. The day was filled with multiple activities like snorkeling, riding a banana boat etc. Food was another big yes for me. Overall this has been a great day for me and my family especially my young kids who were excited to have this memorable fun filled day. Thank you Hassan of Golden Trip Travel and Tourism.... I'm definitely going to be using your services again and gonna recommend to my circle. Thanks!

4 hours in Dibba - 5 Stars - It was a pretty nice trip. Well organised transfer: minivan pickup from the hotel and than a normal touristic bus. Group was ~40 ppl. Friendly and competent group's guide.
Upon boarding and during all the trip water, juices and fresh fruits were available.
Boat departed 10:50 and arrived to the small bay in 30 minutes.
In this bay all activities were provided: Speed boat ride, banana ride, snorkelling around the bay and kayaking.
Than lunch (delicious: veggies, chicken, beef, fish, soft drinks see photo).
Highly recommend to order BBQ Shrimps (langoustine) for 35dhs extra, this will help guys on the boat to earn some money.
After lunch final swimming and departure to the limestone cave.
After the cave short stop ~20 mins in the sea for a fishing experience and departure back to the port.
Very professional and nice team both on the boat and on the ground.
But remember, your experience will also depend on the group (fortunately we had a very nice one).
The road takes approx. 4 hrs each side and it can be exhausting

A very nice cruise! - The cruise was superb! The views are incredible, the water a blue lagoon and the boat comfortable and spacious!
Several activities included: banana boat, speed boat and canoe kayak or you can simply swim!
The included meal is really hearty and very good and drinks are offered throughout the cruise (water, juice, coffee, tea) + fruit:)
The road is a bit exhausting especially on the way back but it was worth it!
I recommend!

Good family experience in Oman - Great experience. Enjoyed the views. Would recommend going in cooler weather. Temps were at 106 the day we were there. Bus and boat ride was good but long ride from downtown Dubai. Enjoyed seeing places outside of Dubai and enjoyed visiting another country.

See Oman in spite of the border hassles - The border crossings are time consuming and frustrating---four stamps (leave UAE, enter Oman, leave Oman, enter UAE), and at the pace and whim of border efficiency or lack thereof. The ride to the UAE exit is over 2 hours long. Prepare for a long ride home too. The Oman setting is extraordinary once you are there---take advantage of each opportunity offered on the water (kayak, snorkel, speed boat, banana boat).

Very disappointing and in some cases, just outright negligent - Lots of messing around with multiple pick ups and drop offs at hotels as well as border control meant you’re spending 4 hours on the transit there alone.
Massively underwhelming in the drinks options (1 mini can of pepsi at “lunch” when it’s crazy hot isn’t enough and no option to get more).
Very basic tour and disappointing how polluted the “bay” was we docked in.
No regaed for any health and safety once anchored with the speed boat taking literal babies onboard and speeding through the areas in which people were meant to swim.
