Great day out

Absolutely brilliant time - saw hundreds of dolphins - followed by snorkelling (saw 5 turtles). Couldn’t be better. The dolphin watching was sensitive - no other boats around. Snorkelling in the bay with other boats but all hundred metres apart. Fish and titles seem unperturbed. We were told not to stand on coral or touch anything - snorkels provided. All good.

Fun Excursion

TONS of dolphins—very common to see them (more rare in winter, I was told). It was fantastic to see them right off the side of the boat. Tons of other boats there, but we were more secluded for the snorkeling. Lots of fish and a little over an hour to snorkel. Water, sodas, and a few snacks provided. Covered boat for some shade. Drove through some cool rock tunnels in the return trip!

Dolphins and Snorkeling

People went to see dolphins and got a show. The boat had water, soda, and things to eat. About snorkeling, the spot that I was taken wasn't necessarily the best. Yes, there are some schools of fish but that's it.

Good enough but not impressive

Communication and pick up were clear and punctual. Dolphins were not very playful on that particular day so they only got to the surface to take a breather, not much of a show. Many boats were following them around so that wasn't very helpful either. Snorkeling spot wasn't the best I have ever seen, not much variety in fish, but lots of Coral. Beautiful scenic route back to the port, but overall not very exciting to be honest. Maybe the group you share the boat with can also determine wether the trip is enjoyable or not, but I didn't feel like there was much animation although the guide was friendly and tried to make the best out of it.

Nice but risky !

It was a nice private tour, wasn’t easy to watch the dolphins as the sea wasn’t so peaceful and that day. We enjoyed the Khiran area the most. Our captain was an expert but I noticed that they don’t care about safety measures at all. We cruised through the gulf area with no life jackets !! We watched lovely Muscat’s coast line before we head back safely to hotel. They provide hotel pick-up, drop-offs. Captain Bader is so knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and loves his job. This trip was a gift from an Omani friend, so many thanks to “Abu Khalifa”
