Awesome! - We had a wonderful day with Captain Nemo. He served us with plenty of food and drinks and showed us some great snorkeling spots. Everything was very well organized, and the equipment was in excellent condition. We'd love to go again!

Memorable and great value experience - This was a perfect activity for a short stay in Oman and an opportunity to see some of the country's stunning natural beauty. The tour was well organised and the staff were helpful and friendly, with clarity on departure/arrival times and offering snacks and water. The views of the reef and wildlife were wonderful and well worth seeing. Highly recommended.

Nice snorkeling experience - Nice snorkeling experience and very helpful guides, pity that to see the sharks at the second stop the water was a murky pelin, but we still saw them.

An unforgettable experience! - An unforgettable experience from start to finish! Huge thanks to the kind and friendly staff who guided us through the snorkelling trip and made us feel at ease from the moment we arrived. They stayed with everyone the entire day, offering plenty of refreshments and making sure we were all comfortable whether you were a strong swimmer or a beginner, they made it as easy and enjoyable as possible. Their banter and funny personalities kept us laughing and relaxed throughout. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Unforgettable experience... - Unforgettable experience with turtles! 🐢 A real favorite! Everything was perfect from start to finish: the Mood on board was great, the captain (I think his name was Ahmed) was incredibly kind, very thoughtful and reassuring. We felt totally safe, and the organization was impeccable. The swimming with the turtles was magical, a moment suspended... Special mention for food: full of sandwiches, cool bottles of water, sweet snacks and ultra fresh fruit! Frankly, it was beyond my expectations. I recommend eyes closed ❤️

Snorkeling is a must do, whichever company you choose - Incredible snorkeling! Perfectly warm water. Overall awesome experience. I shopped around looking at a bunch of different options for this and wasn’t sure who to go with. I loved this experience but I wouldn’t necessarily say this is 10/10 the company to go with. I’m sure other ones are equally as cool and maybe even better. But this was the cheapest option and it worked out just fine!
