Go as early in the morning as you can! - Had a great experience. Most important tip is to leave as early in the morning as you can. Leaving the Al Mooj neighourhood of Muscat at 6:30, we arrived at the parking lot by Wadi Shab with only 2 other cars in the parking lot. They were young families and we passed them on the path. Had the entire last section to ourselves - incredible. So peaceful and quiet. On the hike back down the wadi to the car? Soooooo many people coming off tour buses, slipping and sliding on the rocks. I can just imagine how busy the cave with the waterfall would be at the end of the path by the time they all got there. I didn't take a life jacket but my guide did - it meant a lot of treading water in the last section while I took pictures and enjoyed the scenery. I had my camera in one of those little waterproof pouches with a lanyard around my neck. Had I swallowed my pride and carried a life jacket, probably would have gotten some better photos from within the water. The parking lot when we were leaving was full! We were so happy to have beaten the rush. The sinkhole is interesting, but nothing spectacular - the real jewel in the crown on this tour is Wadi Shab.

Best time of our trip - Absolutely excellent experience! Beautiful hike and great time cliff jumping! Highly recommend experiencing this tour!

Amazing experience - Highly recommend trip, good price for a private one. Thanks to our guide Khaled, very friendly, professional and on time.

Jamaal - best tour guide for Wadi Shab and anything in Oman! - Our tour guide, Jamaal, was AMAZING! The whole trip to Wadi Shab and the sinkhole was fantastic in and of itself but Jamaal made it much more so. Beautiful car, well prepared, super considerate, very knowledgeable about all things Omani, he was one of the BEST tour guides I’ve had in any country for any trip. He knew Wadi Shab like the back of his hand, he navigated us through the labyrinthine chasm as far as we could physically go. I felt bad for tourists who were trying to accomplish the Wadi by themselves / this is clearly not recommended. Jamaal was super safety conscious yet adventurous. He was great about recommending super photo ops. Jamaal- thank you and thanks for meeting us at airport to give us something valuable we had left in car! Awesome- my highest recommendation!!!!

Don’t Miss Out! - This was an amazing experience. Our guide Jamal was excellent and took great care of us. It was an active outing and very beautiful. A highlight of our trip. Can’t recommend it enough. Don’t miss out on this fantastic experience.

Beautiful but a bit dangerous - The service was amazing and the trip went very well for us. The guide was very nice. But be prepared that the hiking trail is a bit dangerous and requires good swimming skills if you are planning to see the cave

Perfect day trip at Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole - Our tour guide Jamaal was full of energy and took keen interest in the overall experience. He knew the essential equipment requirements (life jacket, water shoes, etc.) very well before hand and also ensured we had access to these. Since we are not good swimmers, he also helped us at every step along the Wadi Shab swimming pools (which are 4 of them and get deeper as you move). Overall a great day trip and Jamaal made it all the more worthwhile by being a fun guide.

Must visit in Oman. - The wadi in itself is an amazing place. What made it more memorable was our tour guide Khairoo. He was very patient and an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and gave many insights to Oman, its people and history. I do recommend you specifically ask for Khairoo especially if you are elderly or travelling with family. 3 stars for Vaitor for ease of booking and 2 stars for Khairoo!

Highly recommend - This tour was excellent! Mahmood was a great guide. Wadi Shab was stunning and worth the trip. Highly recommend

Just perfect - Our guide had 25 years experience and showed us the most beautiful places. Very good background information in combination with fun. Highly recommend.
