Fabulous morning dolphin watching

Suzanne_H, Aug 2025

Fabulous morning dolphin watching on a lovely boat and then finding shallow shores to stop and snorkel. Had a great time with my family. Everything was prompt and well planned. We saw lots of dolphins and then the skipper took us to a quiet area to snorkel. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend. We also had soft drinks and muffins on board.

No dolphins and no turtles

Oussama_L, Jul 2025

We didn't see any dolphins and we didn't see any turtles either when snorkelling. They tell you, when you're already on the boat, that there's no guarantee that you'll see any dolphins. Meaning that it is simply a guess and frankly speaking it shouldn't be called a dolphin tour. They should rather name it a boat tour with a chance of seeing dolphins.

Excellent half day activity in Muscat

Adam_J, Jun 2025

We had a spare day in Muscat so went on this snorkelling and dolphin watching tour. We saw a huge amount of dolphins, then beautiful fish and turtles while swimming around some coral, the tour guide/boat captain was excellent. We recommend this trip as they even pick you sup and drop back to your hotel.

Dolphin watching was...

Peter_S, Apr 2025

Dolphin watching was really cool, but snorkeling wasn't. The spot where we stopped for snorkeling didn't have much to see. I would recommend a tour without snorkeling instead.

Over all a nice...

Israt_K, Feb 2025

Over all a nice experience; however, once we reached the marina, we had to wait for a while before we got on the boat. Got to see lots of dolphins and the guide was also nice! Would recommend

Dolphins, turtles, fish

Paula_M, Dec 2024

Great tour. Was picked up /dropped off at my hotel. We saw lots of dolphins. Then we went snorkeling. They provided life jackets and flippers. Water was calm so I felt comfortable even though I’m not a strong swimmer. We saw colorful fish and green turtles.
