Relaxing sunset trip - A very nice tour along the corniche of Muscat. Captain Bilal knows the best places to stop for sunset. You can disengage from everyday life and unwind.

Dolphins during sunset :-) - Cruising along the coast with only seven guests - great. Nice views of Muscat's coastline including forts and palaces. Racing after and seeing dolphins play - marvellous. Very well spent to hours.

Full-day tour with watersports activities and sunset tour - We went on tour for a full day on a private beach with water sports activities (sofa boat, banana boat, kayak, and parasailing) and we saw the sunset on our end. It was an amazing tour with a professional company, thank you so much for an amazing moment and we will coming back again. Highly recommend 👏👏

Lovely and relaxing experience - We got on the dhow style boat and were lucky as it was only about 25% capacity so we could swap sides as the views changed. The water was so smooth it was amazing (and lucky as I get sea sick on a pedalo!) and the captain expertly drove us between viewpoints and then cut the engine so we could take in the view and get our photos without pressure. We had dates, water and soft drinks on board which was very pleasant as we cruised past various forts, watchtowers and palaces before turning back at the main port and cruise terminal. The sun by now was a dim yellow glow just above the ridgeline and after it disappeared we headed back to the Al Rowdha Marina. The narrative doesn't really explain how pleasant and relaxing this trip was, the early evening being warm rather than oppressive combined with the fantastic views and calm seas made it a memorable experience. The crew were all extremely polite and decent and the boat clean and comfortable, with either a cushioned floor area or seats to sit on.

Golden Hours along the Muscat Coastline - Viewed the dramatic and picturesque coastline of Oman from the Sea of Oman on this spectacular Sunset Cruise. It was certainly a memorable experience- despite the rough and choppy seas that we encountered on our return trip .

Nothing special! - Is a very normal trip...they are going to show just a small part of the city. Just few explanations from the capitan I don t recommend it actually.

Not suitable for aged people and young kids - Not so good experience with family, had aged people in the group and captain Bilal was not bothered, he was doing some driving the boat fast and doing some acrobatics which scared the aged people on the boat. Boat was also over crowded with no proper protection or safety. Tour is not ideal for aged and people who have hypertensive or heart issues, people should be warned before accepting this booking. Never in the details it is mentioned that it is not suitable for elderly people or people with hypertension and heart issues.
