Full Day Dhow Cruise and Transport from Dubai - We had booked a full-day dhow cruise with this provider as well as transport from Dubai to Khasab and back. The prior contact via email and WhatsApp was prompt. The driver Ahmed was on site on time and extremely friendly. On the way he told us some information about the country and life. Crossing the border was very easy. The dhow cruise was great. There were only 7 guests on the boat, so there was plenty of space. We saw dolphins numerous times which swam with the boat, a really cool and unique experience. The map showed information about the trip and the names of the individual villages. Further background information was missing. The tour overall was great. Two swimming stops, enough drinks and fruit, and the lunch was also delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Fun at Khasab - I had great fun with my boys. I highly recommend you take private dhow experience. It’s worth it and much more private.

Brilliant 6 hr trip from cruise ship dolphin watching, swimming and snorkelling in Khasab fjords - Brilliant 6 hr trip to dolphin watch, swim and snorkel off a dhow through the beautiful fjords of Khasab. We were picked up on time from cruise port with our names on a card held by Dolphin Tour staff and dropped back at cruise port on time so no panic about missing ship! Dhow was great - lovely helpful crew and not crowded. Facilities onboard included nice clean toilet with sink, fresh water hose/shower for rinsing off after swim and towels. We brought our own snorkels as they aren’t provided. We had an excellent lunch onboard and were given a plentiful supply of soft drinks, water and fresh fruit. We saw lots of colourful fish and had two opportunities to swim and snorkel. We also saw and followed lots of dolphins on several occasions and got some excellent photos/video shots. I did this trip with my son and we thoroughly recommend this trip - definitely the highlight of our week’s cruise.

Excellent Dhow Trip in Musandam - We were in the Orient with the Mein Schiff 2 and decided to stop in Khasab for the full-day dhow trip. The contact during the booking process was super easy and the information that the Mein Schiff 2 is too big to go straight into the harbor and we need tenders was great. There were about 11 of us on the dhow, so we had enough space. We were given a small map beforehand showing exactly where the trip was going and there were also brief explanations in English at the individual stations. We had two swimming stops and the food was also top notch. The absolute highlight was that we were able to see dolphins several times. For us, it was a great and worthwhile trip.

Best tour in Musandam for Dolphin - Best tour in Musandam to watch Dolphins. From initial contact to timeliness of pick up everything is very well organized. We were the only ones in the big boat but they did not cancel. We were treated like a royalty and dolphins made our day a memorable one. Food was basic but adequate.

Nice and chilled! - Although we arrived late from our cruise ship because we had not been informed beforehand that the tender was due to the ship not being able to send us any information, everything still worked out! There were 16 of us on the dhow and we had plenty of space. The two men on the crew were very nice and helpful!

Fantastic time snorkeling and dolphin-watching - We were picked up in the morning at the hotel and taken by a strong English speaking host to the pier. He guided us to our dhow, where my husband and I realized that we would have the full day cruise to ourselves! Having spoken to another tourist the day before, and landing during a busy weekend, we thought we'd be on a boat with 20 or more other passengers, but in fact, it was just the two of us. And was it LOVELY! The captain and first mate tended to our every need, frequently offering us information about what we were seeing, soda and/or water, and then a lovely lunch of multiple hot foods for our enjoyment. The dhow is completed shaded and provided a welcome respite from the high temps we had been experiencing in UAE and Oman. The snorkeling and dolphin sightings were just superb. We were in such good hands! When the dolphins allowed us to see them and then ride up along the boat - well, it was really the thrill of a lifetime. We were a little unsure about what we had signed up for in anticipation, but the next time, we would even spend the night on the dhow out under the starts. simply superb! Thank you!!

Book with someone else - It is very difficult to cross the border from the UAE. We were turned away on the day we drove from Dubai for the tour. The operator refused to refund or even offer the tickets to be transferred to our friends who live in Dubai. It is a risk pre-booking with this arrangement. Especially with this inflexible tour company. They are also very difficult to contact when you are there. There are plenty of providers. You are probably best just choosing one to go on when you arrive. I was very disappointed by the lack of empathy and inflexibility due to our situation.
