Friendly staff

Marcella_C, Apr 2024

Very friendly staff! They were punctual on the pick up time and in our way back they accommodate us in another shuttle so we could be dropped off on the Souq as we wished.

Relaxing trip

Alice_N, Nov 2022

Relaxing tour. There was any explanation of the sights we were seeing so you are just left to do whatever you want for the 2 hours. Soft drinks and water were provided in addition to the coffee and dates. There's 2 levels to the dhow boat and there are bathrooms. It wasn't crowded when we went.

Excellent costal views

Marvin_C, Oct 2022

Beautiful costal views, not a sail boat, sunset late October docked boats in view. Still excellent costal veiws

Dhow Tour without dhow

Denise_K, Oct 2022

We booked this tour because we really wanted to experience travelling with a dhow. But as soon as transport brought us to the harbour we were told to go on a speed boat. Official reason „due to technical issues“. We would have liked to get informed before the trip. We would have resceduled. The employee how offered us the possility for a refund was nowhere to be seen after the tour.. The Sunset was beautiful and the skipper was nice.

Bait & switch scam

Ahmed_K, Sep 2022

We booked for a traditional dhow boat and instead they switched us at the last minute to a speedboat .. which was not worth the money we paid. I requested a partial refund do to the circumstances and Viator denied it. I'm extremely unhappy with the experience.
