Lovely morning - This is definitely a must do when in Muscat, it’s very reasonably priced and the entire experience is effortless. They come and pick you from hotel and take you, staff are so friendly and lovely. The boat trip is lovely and not only do you see the dolphins but also the forts and coastline. Highly recommend.

Excellent trip - Sidab tours - I just went yesterday to Sidab Dolphin watch to be frank it was wonderful and the yacht we travelled is also was good with less number of people so felt like going in private yacht , the driver was amazing and explained everything well . Guys if u have decided to go just book through Sidab tours , they charge 8 rial depending upon the number of people , Service is good don’t see for one two rial difference. Enjoy it . I went through through 99432782 contact number . I can use it if required .

Very nice experience - Very nice experience. Despite the rough seas, we were able to reach the islands where snorkeling allowed us to discover many turtles. We then lazed on a magnificent beach. The captain was great. Very nice travel souvenir.

Pretty disappointing - Our tour left almost half an hour late because a couple people showed up late. The guy at the marina apologized and said we would also be returning a bit late to make up for the lost time. The captain was standing right there with him but apparently missed the memo because we actually came back early and for the last half hour cruised slowly down the coast, I suspect because he realized we were so early. I was told when speaking to the booking agent that the trip included 2 snorkeling spots and a beach stop for a total of about 3 hours of snorkel time. We stopped at one snorkeling spot. The visibility wasn't great and when I asked the captain if there was somewhere cool to check out he just said "anywhere, just go". We stayed at that spot about 45 minutes, which made sense at the time. Then we went to the beach for a picnic lunch. The beach was nice but the captain gave us no clue about how long we would be there, if there was a good area to snorkel or anything. Just parked the boat and handed us our lunch. After eating and wandering around the island for a little while I decided to grab my snorkel gear and check out a spot but the captain said no, we were leaving. We were there a little over an hour. I assumed we were heading to the second snorkel spot. Then we headed back to the marina. The captain slowed way down when we got near the coast of Muscat and putted down the coast for the last half hour and we still pulled into the marina 15 minutes early instead of 20-30 minutes late like we were told we would. Overall, just not as advertised. The captain was very cold and said 2 sentences to us the whole trip (zero announcements to the group) and decided to cut our trip an hour short. When I told the booking guy he said he was sorry to hear and would "check with the captain" to see what happened. Ultimately he just said he was sorry but sometimes people are late because it's Eid and sometimes things are out of their control... If you value your time and any degree of customer service, spend your money elsewhere. This ain't it.
