Highly recommended day trip

ConstanseMjeldheim_B, Apr 2024

Wonderful day trip across the border to Oman seeing fjords and sailing on a dhow with dolphins swimming along. Lots of swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. Fun and fabulous day trip from Dubai to a very different scenery.

poor experience

stevegardiner74, Feb 2024

none a lot of travelling and waiting around. Did not mention there was a 3 hour travelling time either way, and lots of waiting around at the boarder. The cruise from the iteneray were was given was 10 - 4. In fact the cruise didn't go till 11am and was back at 3pm. with two stops for swimming for an hour each. A waste of money and time. Nothing to see

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear valued customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent experience with us. We attempted to reach out to you via email and WhatsApp through our quality manager for further insights into your trip, but unfortunately, we did not receive a response. Regarding the travel duration of 3 hours from UAE to Oman, we understand that this indicates a more extensive trip rather than a short excursion. Delays at the border are common due to customs procedures and the volume of passengers crossing, which can occasionally lead to rush periods. As stated in our itinerary, there were two designated stops for swimming and snorkeling, which we did adhere to. However, if you were dissatisfied with the snorkeling experience or faced difficulties due to unfamiliarity with swimming or using the snorkeling equipment, we regret any inconvenience caused. It's important to note that our sea cruise trips are centered around water activities. We also provided additional amenities such as kayaks and the opportunity to observe dolphins around the dhow. We apologize if these aspects did not meet your expectations. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and hope to address any concerns you may have to enhance future experiences with us.

Amazing must do off the beaten path experience!

Our family of 4 with parents, 14 and 9 year old kids were lucky enough to have this tour with Bashar. We were picked up from our hotel and whisked away from Dubai traffic to an easy boarder crossing to Oman. The drive along the cost was breathtaking. We met our onboard guide Khaled and captain Dahnsukh on our family’s own private Dhow. The scenery in the fjords is amazing! We were served plenty of healthy and great tasting food and drinks throughout the trip. The hospitality was unbelievable. As promised, we saw many pods of dolphins playing in the fjord who even swam along with the boat for many minutes at a time. The water is a brilliant blue and warm, and snorkeling was very refreshing. We were brought back to port on time and had an easy return through the boarder to UAE before returning to Dubai. We would highly recommend this experience with this company, and particularly with these guides! It is a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks everyone again!
