Remote and Exceptional Wildlife - Firstly it was like traveling back in time being in a Persian carpet bottom dhow! Our group was small, 12 tourists and 2 crew. Very little common language but very pleasant group. Yes the water was gorgeous. Swimming and snorkeling among schools of yellow finned and electric blue fish. Dolphins playing in our wake for long periods. Wow! The 1 shipmate was wonderful, bringing around fruits and cold drinks repeatedly as well as preparing a beautiful lunch. We came across a very large group of cormorants, estimated 2,000-6,000. Really really exceptional and creating a special life long memory.

Oman Boat trip - This was a great and welcome day out from the frenetic pace of Dubai. Everything ran smoothly. A 6.30 start from our hotel , quite doable , and with one other pick up we were on our way up through the other emirates to Oman . Don’t see too much from the motorway but could spot plenty of camels the further north you went . Not usually one for 6 hr boat trips but this was done very well . Well fed and watered with plenty of activities .If you’re going on one of these trips make sure you’ve got the one with the border taxes included . Also make sure you’ve got the trip that goes to Khasab not Dibba as I think some of those billed as boat trips do not land on Omani soil . They just travel up the coast .

Amazing Trip! - We had the best time on this trip! The boat trip was so comfortable and peaceful, the views were absolutely stunning with the fjords and the incredible color of the water, the food was great, there was fishing. We saw a bunch of dolphins and the snorkeling was great as well. Our guide Nandhan was the absolute best! Would highly recommend and definitely do this again - thank you so much for such an amazing day and experience!!

Great Experience - The trip was amazing! It is such a beautiful place to visit. Going with this tour was great because they help guide you through the border and the visa is included in the fee. Our driver Nandhan did a great job!

Amazing! - This tour was definitely the highlight of my solo trip to Dubai. It is well-organized, filled with amazing sites, and worth every penny. My driver, Nandu was incredible. He is a very kind person who felt like a friend by the end of the trip. I was the only one for the pickup from Dubai to Oman, so we talked most of the time there and back He also handled all the border crossings smoothly. As for the actual boat tour - just amazing. I was truly blown away by the scenery there in Khasab. Just incredible. Pictures do not do it justice. Ismail was the crew and he was just awesome. So friendly and helpful and always ready to get you whatever you needed. I want to also say that as an American, don't be intimidated by going to Oman. The US and Oman actually have a good relationship and there is nothing to worry about. Don’t miss out! Book it, you won’t regret it.

A Delightful Journey to Musandam - The views of the fjord are unforgettable and alone worth the price. But even more than lovely views, there were plentiful opportunities for swimming and kayaking. Snacks & lunch were provided and very good. It was also cool to ride along the highway right along the Gulf coast. Thanks to Nandhan for driving us & for a very friendly boat crew!

Mix of relaxing and dolphin sightings - The trip was a perfect combination of relaxing and sight seeing. Our driver Nandhan was excellent and the boat crew found us dolphins multiple times as well as found great places to go swimming.
