Starting from either Jumeirah Muscat Bay or Marina Bandar Al Rowdha, our voyage begins with an exhilarating dolphin viewing session, where we often encounter groups of over fifty dolphins frolicking around our vessel. Next on the itinerary is Fahal Island, where we’ll indulge in a distinctive fishing experience and haul in some native fish. Following this, our path leads to the Daymaniyat Islands.

Exceeded expectations 🤩 - Abdullah, our boat captain was very experienced. This is a family owned local business. The boat was new and modern and comfortable. We saw dolphins and turtles and went to a few islands and on the way back we followed the coastline for sunset and Abdullah took us into various bays to show us the history of Muscat and the amazing rock formations. Abdullah was the perfect host and he is very passionate and proud to share the natural beauty and history of the region. An incredible experience.

Fantastic experience - The boat trip was the highlight of our holiday and we are glad we went over to the Daymaniyat islands as they were a slice of heaven. Aside from seeing so many dolphins on route we were also able to see some cultural sites of Muscat from the water. Our captain Ibrahim was so welcoming and informative, plus the boat was really comfortable for the day. We’ll be back and would highly recommend
