- Daymaniyat Islands Nature Reserve - The Daymaniyat Islands, a UNESCO-listed marine nature reserve, consist of nine uninhabited islands situated 16–20 km off Muscat’s coast. Renowned for their pristine waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, they rank among Oman’s premier snorkeling and diving spots. The reefs are home to diverse marine life, including reef sharks, rays, colorful tropical fish, and endangered green and hawksbill turtles. These islands also provide nesting sites for migratory seabirds. To protect nesting turtles, beach landings are restricted from May to October, but snorkeling and diving are allowed throughout the year. With depths ranging from 20–25 meters, the area offers excellent visibility for underwater photography and marine exploration. Whether a nature enthusiast, diver, or casual snorkeler, the Daymaniyat Islands offer a stunning eco-adventure in one of Oman’s most biologically diverse protected regions.

Depart from Muscat and be welcomed by our amiable crew as your maritime journey commences. Delight in a 45-minute boat excursion across the deep blue Arabian Sea, skirting Muscat’s picturesque coastline en route to the breathtaking Daymaniyat Islands, one of Oman’s premier marine sanctuaries. As the water transforms into a crystal-clear turquoise, the captain will anchor for a brief session on safety, conservation, and what to anticipate.
Snorkel at two lively locations teeming with vibrant coral gardens, tropical fish, and elegant sea turtles. You might even catch sight of manta rays, moray eels, reef sharks, or a whale shark. Between snorkeling sessions, unwind on board with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and chilled beverages. When island access is available (Nov–Apr), explore the pristine white sandy beaches and striking rocky landscapes.
Glide in our transparent kayaks and observe the marine life beneath you. Our crew will capture GoPro photos and videos throughout your adventure. After a final snorkel or kayak session, enjoy the return journey to Muscat—often accompanied by playful dolphins racing alongside.
