Additional Information

Dolphins, including spinner, bottlenose, and common species, frequent the Oman coast from Musandam to Salalah, with Muscat being a common spotting location. Other marine wildlife such as Whale Sharks (typically seen from May to October), false killer Whales, and the occasional Humpback Whale can also be observed. We strive to provide responsible wildlife encounters to safeguard our Dolphins and other local natural and human resources.

The coastline of Oman, with its numerous rocky outcrops and valleys, is often referred to as the “Omani Fjords”. These Fjords are home to many peaceful, naturally sheltered areas ideal for activities such as swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP boarding. We’ve selected a snorkeling location for this experience that’s shallow, teeming with vibrant corals, and inhabited by green and hawksbill turtles throughout the year.
Don’t forget to bring along your sun protection items, and we recommend you opt for coral-friendly alternatives to assist in conserving our corals.

Exclusive 4 hour boat trip. - We had a really enjoyable exclusive boat trip with QTours and the boat captain Ahmed who was amazing and a true credit to your company. We were lucky enough to find dolphins and also to swim with turtles. We had a 4 hour trip and everything was on point. Our best boating trip we have ever done. So keep up the great work QTours.

Fun for All the Family - My family and I (2 adults and 2 kids under 6) had a fantastic time on our dolphin watching and snorkeling trip. My eldest daughter and I have been dolphin watching with Q Tours before, so this was my second trip with them. Captain Bilal was very accommodating and a great host onboard. We saw a lot of dolphins and one huge pod with lots of calves. The snorkeling was also great. We saw plenty of fish and a few turtles. Maitha and Shahad were also very helpful and made booking the trip very easy.

Must do this in Muscat! - This tour of Muscat sea was incredible - exploring the coastline with the chance to see dolphins and snorkel with turtles on the same day was unreal. It is an unforgettable experience, highly worth spending a day with this company. They also collected some trash from the sea as we went along - sustainable tourism is great to see in this part of the world. The reef at Bandar Khairan was beautiful with loads of turtles, fish and even some soft corals too. A perfect day out at sea!

Amazing tour with friendly service and amazing experiences. - This was one of the most amazing experiences in my life! At first, I was already amazed when I walked onto the dock of the marina I saw sea urchins and beautiful yellow fish with blue stripes! When I got on the boat I was supplied with plenty of snacks and refreshment on the boat ride we saw flying fish that were so cool! At the snorkeling area we went to we immediately saw two small sea turtles poking their head above the water, which was amazing. When we got in the water we saw an undiscribable abount of different types of fish and other sea creatures, we were given plenty of time and space to explore the reef around us . The guide even showed us some attractions, for example, seahorse bay and we went through a cool tunnel made out of rock. The guide service was freindly and very informative and I am so glad I went on this trip.

Fantastic excursion - We were picked up at the port where our cruise ship docked. Brought to the marina for the dolphin watch at snorkeling excursion. Captain Bilal did a great job easily found large group of dolphin. They jumped through the water and swam along the boat. Then he took us to a wonderful snorkeling place in a protected bay. Very little current very little wind. Coral was not spectacular, but the fish were exceedingly so, with a large numbers of fish and large number of species. On the way back he stopped the boat so we could take photos of the surrounding area, overall it was a great excursion. Captain Bilal made it memorable.
