We had a fantastic day and the crew were very helpful and hospitable. The guide was very informative and interesting.
We saw dolphins and went snorkelling twice.
The food and drinks were very good and we would definitely go again.
The only issue we had was that the driver who returned us to our hotel drove way too fast and well above the speed limit. It was quite frightening and there was no need.

Fantastic crew, perfectly organised. Easily 5 star trip. Great trip, nice lunch and safe vessel. Highly recommended!

This is a relaxing way to spend the day in Musandam. The scenery is absolutely stunning! The captains know how to provide a good wake for the dolphins to play in. The snorkelling is pretty good, except the boats all go to the same place and they spit out a LOT of diesel right where you go into the water, which is a shame. The guide we had was new and wasn't able to provide much information, but the First Mate was great and went around to tell us individually what we were seeing on the shore. This part could be improved. The lunch was really yummy and there were plenty of drinks available. There's a toilet (can't flush it while at anchor, hmmmm) where you can also change for swimming, and plenty of room to just lounge on the deck. Take a book and enjoy a beautiful day at sea!

Very nice, saw same dolphins from a distance and swam into the sea (which wasn't cold despite being in December). Unfortunately, dolphins didn't came to us while swimming.

Fantastic trip,a couple of stops for swimming and snorkelling,we saw dolphins on three occasions.unlimited water and juice,with a tasty buffet as well.we were picked up at the cruise terminal and taken to the dhow.would definatly recommend this tour for anyone going to khasab!!

Wonderful experience in the fjords! Relax boat ride, swimming and a great lunch, and dolphins racing alongside our boat! Our guides were kind and competent!
Keith_D, Mar 2023
Smooth pick up- very important- and a really nice relaxing day on the dhow.
Food and drink were fine, boatmen looked after us and ensured maximum dolphin views.
The only thing that surprised me is that there were no landings, everything was done at anchor.

We had a hiking tour a day before, so we chose something more relaxing on a day after. Definitely, we haven't made a mistake, we were sooo relaxed, surrounded by beautiful nature, met some awesome people on board... a blissful day.
I must add the guide was on time and very helpful, and the food was REALLY good too.

The cruise is a fun day! Not much to do in Khasab, so this is an excellent choice.
The starkly bare mountains are an interesting contrast to the pretty water. Dolphin watching was very fun. The lunch was very good.
The snorkeling was mediocre, with too many stinging jellies. The two tour operators spoke virtually no English, so we didn't get any information about where we were or what we were seeing. That would have bumped it to 5 stars.

The company picked me up from my hotel.
I was given a map of the route with the names of the different islands.
There were lots of dolphins swimming alongside the boat. The captain would whistle for them to come and alert us to get ready to take pictures.
Lunch was delicious.
We could snorkel or swim at different places.
I got to walk on Telegraph Island.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

This trip on a dhow in the gulf of Oman was outstanding. Our guide and captain were courteous, helpful and educational. They both worked very hard to make our experience very enjoyable. When dolphins were sighted we were lead to them. Swim spots and fish viewing areas were fun. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

This is a good tour. We are 2 Americans on a cruise in February 2019. When we exited the port the company had a sign with our name. We got on a bus with about 20 other people which drove us about 10 min to the Dhow boats. The boat was average. It had an upstairs and toilet, and comfortable seats. Only about 13-15 people on the boat with us, and it’s fairly large so it was not at all crowded. The guides were great. They kept following dolphins which jumped out of the water every once in a while. We also saw a lot of jellyfish. The guides knew which part of the sea to go to so that we could swim away from the jellyfish. One woman hit her hand on a rock while swimming and the guides (2 on our boat) helped her bandage it. Lunch was average. Overall a great day. I highly recommend this tour. Note that there’s almost nothing else to do in Khasab of any value. A small town, mosque and Souk but I don’t know what we would have done with our day if we hadn’t taken this cruise. Also it’s interesting to see the Iranian smugglers all rushing out of the harbor around 5-6 pm, on speedboats and driving erratically to confuse the police, who were out there but didn’t seem to chase any or care. This tour was very well organized and we had a good time.

The views were lovely and the water was clear. We had two opportunities to snorkel. Our lunch was very good: tasty and plentiful. The beverages on board and the fruit were nice additions too. A little commentary from the crew or captain would have enhanced the experience, but they did pass out a paper with a map of the area and some interesting facts. It was a good value and fairly priced.

This was an amazing experience, the two hosts on the cruise went out of their way to make this an awesome day!
The traditional meal was tasty!
This must be a bucket list item

Sehr empfehlenswert. Die Begleiter waren sehr zuvorkommend und nett, das Essen war auch lecker. Wir haben viele Delphine beobachten können.
Dennis_S, Nov 2023
Die Tour war sehr schön. Wir haben die 6 Stunden Tour von unserem Kreuzfahrtschiff aus gemacht und es hat alles super geklappt. Am Hafen stand jemand pünktlich mit unserem Namen auf einem Schild. dann ist man ein kurzes Stück zum Bootsanleger gefahren und auf das Boot gstiegen. Die Tour durch die Fjorde war sehr schön. Auf unserem Boot waren wir nur eine kleine Gruppe von 4 Leuten. Wir wurden von unseren 2 Guides Mohammad und Sumar richrig verwöhnt. Wir haben 2 Badestopps gemacht und Zeit zum Schwimmen und Schnorcheln bekommen. Badehandtücher und Schnorchelausrüstung war auch inklusive. Das Mittagessen war lokale Küche und sehr lecker. Wir sind nach der Tour früh genug wieder auf dem Schiff gewesen. Wichtig ist zu beachten, dass große Kreuzfahrtschiffe auf dem offenen Meer ankern und man mit Shuttlebooten in 15 Minuten zum Hafen gebracht wird.

Prima Service, tolles Ausflugs- Boot und herrliche Bilder. Transfer vom Schiff zur Dhow perfekt organisiert.

Excellent moment de plaisir! Nous en avons prit pleins les yeux tout le long de l’activité, les personnes qui nous ont accompagnés dans le bateau étaient d’une gentillesse incroyable, serviable et a l’écoute !! Un repas, des dauphins, un paysage et une eau parfaite.
Si vous êtes à Dubai faites une escale a Khasab, ça en vaut le détour réellement.
Petit point négatif au niveau de l’agence, pas très accueillant mais à part ça parfait !
Martin_S, Mar 2020
Ein wirklich toller Ausflug mit Delphinen, kleine Haie und andere Fischen. 2 Badestops und viel unberührte Natur.
Das nette Personal hat uns alle Wünsche von den Augen abgelesen und uns den ganzen Tag mit Getränken, Obstteller und Mittagessen versorgt. Bei einem Besuch von Khasab ist der Ausflug ein Muß.
CHARLINE_L, Jan 2020
Superbe journée dans un cadre magnifique !!!!
Bateau très sympa, repas buffet très bien également !
Tout était parfait !
Le paysage est à couper le souffle, avec en prime les dauphins alentour qui s'amusent à suivre le bateau, quel spectacle !!
Très bonne organisation, un grand merci, nous recommandons fortement !
Isabell_H, Apr 2019
Der Ausflug wurde vorab gebucht- wir wurden pünktlich vom Schiff zur Dhow gebracht. Mehrfach konnten wir Delphine beobachten und zweimal gab es einen Schnorchelstop. Das Essen war einfach und schmackhaft und während der ganzen Fahrt wurden wir mit Getränken versorgt
