The cruise includes a stop at the historic Telegraph Island, where you can snorkel and swim among colorful marine life. As one reviewer noted on November 3, 2024:

Amazing trip with a wonderful crew! The trip was perfect! We were picked up by the tour company and taken to the boat. We were introduced to the crew and off we went. There were only two other people on our boat as it was a weekday. The crew was very attentive and did their best to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. You can tell that they also really enjoy their job. We were able to spot the dolphins multiple times and had plenty of time to swim. They got us back to the dock at the end time on the dot! Would highly recommend! (Reviewed at: 2024-11-03)

With complimentary refreshments and snorkeling gear provided, this cruise is a must-do for anyone visiting Khasab.
