Very good! - Fahad is a really good guide. Of course he cant give any guarantees, but he goes out of his way to give you what you are hoping to see. This time it were the whalesharks. He found them and we had an amazing experience. He also keeps an eye on you to assure everyone is safe.
Yashin, his employee is making beautiful underwater video’s that he happily share with you. Can highly recommend!

Our best experience in Mascate - It was without doubt our best experience in Mascate. A must try! Our children (aged 3 and 6) and ourselves loved it. We swam with fish and turtles. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whale sharks, but we hope we will next time.
The color of the water was incredible, we've never seen such crystal-clear water. The staff was very nice, thank you for creating unforgettable memories.

An amazing memory ! - A gorgeous tour ! I fully recommand it ! The boat driver was very nice, taking enough time with the dolphins, we ve seen dozen of them, playing all around our boat,it was very exciting. Then he take his time too, to let us swim with the turtles and then we have a lovely time on the beach.

Fahad was friendly and helpful. For my first solo trip and first time snorkeling, I had a good experience. - Good experience saw plenty of fish and saw turtles. Towards the end of the Fahad took us to a place where we got to see a school of dolphins.

Average - This was a nice trip but for it was a bit expensive for what you get in my opinion. The boat was packed with 20 people. Guide was average. Snorkeling also average, but we were able to see turtles and a whale on the trip (this was the best part and very rare). We then stopped at a beach for an hour which was pretty, but not as tropical feeling as I expected (in comparison with islands in Thailand or Maldives for example). The guides were kind and tried very hard to make it a pleasant experience for everyone but I left feeling a paid a lot for an average experience.
