Beautiful Morning with Excellent Hospitality - A nice cruise through the fjords seeing a few sites and lots of dolphins. The Dhow crew of two treated us like royalty and even filmed the dolphins for us.

Highly reccomended! - Amazing half day experience . The hosting team made it so flawless from the time they contact you after booking to delivering you back to your location. The dhow crew made everything we see many dolphins and made videos of them . The dhow captain sail very smooth which suits well for kids of different ages and adults. For several hours trip we were given fruits , water and juices. Dhow has small toilet and all the amenities needed for a short trip . I would highly recommend everyone to try this experience as you will love it. The scenes are beautiful and so chilling vibes .

Great dhow cruise - The trip was well organized. The pick-up from the cruise terminal was easy and the boat trip itself was very nice. The crew was very caring and provided drinks and fruits. We saw dolphins and had a nice bathing stop.

Recommended excursion - Communication in advance and pick-up at the cruise terminal worked out well. It was a nice boat trip with great views. What we especially liked about the stop at the dolphins - the boatmaster and the guide did not hunt the dolphins, but waited patiently and gave the dolphins the opportunity to swim in the water again and again. We have been well supplied on board with fruit, coffee, water, juices, soft drinks and towels. There were life jackets for the children. For the stop at Telegraph Island I recommend taking a snorkel mask.

All-round perfect Dhau ride! - Fantastic excursion! We were collected at the port terminal in the morning and took a bus to our dhow. Excellent procedure! From dolphins to scenic views and the swim/snorkel stop - just perfect. Attempts were also made to stay away from the other ships. In addition, there were fruits and drinks (water, coffee, tea, juices and various soft drinks) All around perfect and an absolute recommendation!

The dolphins were summoned by the guide. - Trip went well. The duo guide were able to make the dolphin follow us which was an amazing experience. One served cool drinks n fruit and the other helped me put on snorkel gear .The tour even had towels to dry off since i was in a hurry and didnt pack correct. Boat was perfect/ peacefully cruised the fjords. Thanks dolphin khasab tour

A wonderful day out, admiring the beauty of Musandam - During our recent trip to Musandam, among a flood of options for the Half-day Dhow cruise, we opted for the one by Dolphin Khasab Tours, based on the reviews we had read. This was one of the best decisions we took. I booked the tour only the previous evening, but the tour company was very helpful in arranging pick up and drop to and from our hotel and in answering our queries. On the morning of the cruise, we were picked up on time and taken to the port, from where we boarded the dhow. The dhow had 2 levels and was surprisingly for us, not too crowded, so we had plenty of space and travelled in comfort. We started for the Fjords and passed some beautiful rock faces and came across some hidden beaches, accessible only by sea. The highlight of the cruise were the beautiful dolphins, whom we got to see from two different points. It was surreal, watching them swim next to our boat. We then, passed through some old, isolated villages till we arrived at the Telegraph Island. The water here was crystal clear, with colorful fish all around us. Most people in our dhow had a swim, but we missed out this time. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and offered us a selection of fruits, coffee, juice and drinks to keep us hydrated during the trip. The facilities for shower, swimming etc were top notch. After a wonderful time at sea, we made the return journey taking in the sights of the fjords again. We had a wonderful experience with Dolphin Khasab Tours and will love to avail of their services again next time we are in Musandam.

Relaxed Daufahrt in beautiful landscape - We were in Khasab on a cruise ship and had booked and paid for the trip online at home before. Everything worked great, including the pick-up at the cruise terminal. The trip was really nice. There were fruits and drinks. The crew took great care of us. The boat wasn't very full. We could observe dolphins up close. And a swim stop rounded it all off. It was a wonderful break between the metropolises in the Orient.

A great morning well spent - This was an amazing morning spent out at sea. From my driver Ahmad collecting me on time, getting me to the departure point and then once I got onto the dhow the captain Mohammed and his sailing mate were really friendly and I had the dhow to myself (there was another booking but they didn’t make it) I thought with one person they would cancel but they didn’t. The whole half day tour was amazing. There were loads of dolphins who swam right up by the boat and the crew were really knowledgeable about the area. The crew provided me with fresh fruit and soft drinks as and when I wanted. I would totally recommend this to anyone coming to Musandam.
