A magical and well organised experience - We had an amazing time at the Damaniyat Islands, first snorkelling and seeing a group of turtles then going ashore on one of the islands where we snorkelled again seeing a variety of fish. The trip was well organised and the crew friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was immaculate and they provided snacks and soft drinks. At the end of the trip the captain shared his go pro footage of the turtles which we will treasure. Highly recommended, thank you.

Fantastic tour - Incredible trip - managed to swim with turtles, many different fish and a rare octopus, stopping in three different places on the island. The staff were really good - we spent half an hour both before and after the island stop watching two humpback whales - an experience I didn’t think I’d get with this tour! One of the tour guides swam with the group to help find the wildlife, which was much appreciated. Snacks and soft drinks (+water) were on tap. Would 100% recommend.

Beautiful trip! In search of turtles - Truly beautiful. The guys were very kind, also helpful in taking us to the right places and showing us the turtles. What's more, we had sighted whales, and we were the only boat to persevere looking for them until we saw them! At 20 meters so as not to disturb, so also always very careful about these things, which is very nice.

Not to be missed - unforgettable - Magnificent and unforgettable 5-hour excursion under a magnificent sun and on very calm seas - a success thanks to the Captain and his sailor who gave us a great welcome and who were attentive and attentive at the moment, including actively helping us to find and see the turtles where they lived - A big thank you to them - second really great spot because we were able to dock and walk on the island (find out about possible periods) - sumptuous marine scenery and islands.

Turtelly awesome!!! - Amazing lifetime experience. We were not expecting to see a huge pod of dolphins, which was an amazing experience. My friend and I have seen many dolphins before but never that many at once. We then went snorkelling as planned and were swimming amongst 20+ large turtles at once and beautifully coloured fish amongst the coral. Snacks and drinks were plentiful and our host was friendly attentive and very helpful. The only negative was that the trip we booked was advertised to include kayaking, but this was not available. However this did not spoil our enjoyment as the snorkelling was outstanding.

Great experience - Great experience at the Daymaniyat Islands! Two beautiful snorkeling stops, we saw dozens of turtles. The second stop allows you to access the islands on foot and enjoy the beaches with turquoise water. Our two captains were adorable. Thank you Oman Sea Tour!!

Great day out for the family - Great day out with our family.We all loved swimming with the turtles and there were plenty of them.Sadly we had poor visibility in the first bay as a lot of green algae in the area , second beach was better . Beautiful beaches , but crowded with tourist boats. We were also lucky to see a pilot whale on our ride home. Our captain was very friendly and helpful. Comfortable boat with good selection of snacks and drinks. Don’t come on this trip expecting stunning coral and a lot of fish. It’s a shame that so many tour boats are allowed at the same time, too many people and unsustainable for the environment.
