Great trip!

Chante_C, Apr 2024

Great trip! Excellent tour guides. Loved it and will do it again sometime in the future. The snorkeling was great fun too

Good tour to watch sea life.

patricia_m, Mar 2024

Nice trip. We were able to see a lot of turtles and sea life, however the visibility underwater was not the best. The vessel was in good condition however for the price paid, I was expecting a better boat. Very nice and polite crew. 👍👍

Great boat trip to witness marine life

Benoit_C, Mar 2024

Great half day out from Muscat marina. Well organized and timed, drinks and snacks provided. Stopped in 2 spots where could see turtles feeding on coral reef, heels, squid and loads of colourful fishes. Saw a whale from a distance on the way back. Group of 8 adults and 4 kids, perfect. Highly recommended.

Good trip

Sina_S, Mar 2024

Overall a fun tour. The boat crew was excellent and they made sure we got to see a lot of turtles! They had to cancel and reschedule (as well as move the time of the rescheduled trip) because of weather which isn’t their fault! There was some sendiment because of weather prior days but that’s just nature. Not a 5 star because of the actions of the lady who works at the dock. I was on the boat by 10:04 for a 10:00 departure. As I was in the taxi on the way there she sent me TONS of WhatsApp texts, voice memos and calls about not being late….but I literally shared my location so she could see I was mere meters away. Seriously, please relax…otherwise a good tip

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Sina I hope this message finds you well. First of all our team are glad that you enjoyed our trip to DAYMANIYAT ISLAND. And regarding to my attitude on the day of the trip, I hope you understand that the said trip was a sharing trip and it means other people were on the boat. as a marketing manager it's my job to follow up and keep on track of our customer's whereabouts especially if they are almost 10 minutes late. the captain agreed kindly to wait for you but of course we had to explain ourselves to the customer who were waiting on the boat. We believe that being on time is very important. We hope to welcome you for another trip again soon

Perfect half day boat tour to Daymaniyat Islands.

Dianora_R, Mar 2024

Perfect half day boat tour to Daymaniyat Islands. We were 14 on the boat but did not feel crowded. They provided us with snacks and water, snorkels masks and fins for free. The captain was very nice and experienced. Also took nice videos underwater with the turtles. He brought us to a spot where no other boats got, so we had the beach all for ourselves.

Incredible snorkeling - loads of turtles and stunning fish

Gill_H, Jan 2024

Good communication with the company. Amazing snorkeling with plenty of opportunities to see turtles and stunning variety of fish. Lots of refreshments. One criticism is that when one of our kids had issues with their snorkel, the staff weren't really bothered in helping which completely ruined what should have been a magical experience for them

Yes, we recommend this trip!

affe70, Oct 2021

We were met at the marina by captain Bwana on time and went with him to two different snorkeling spots. Captain Bwana joined us into the water and managed to show us 5 turtles. We wouldn't have seen them without him. The boat was clean an well prepared with sandwiches and cold drinks. Even fresh water to wash away the salt from our faces was available. We enjoyed the tour very much and recommend this operator and captain for anybody looking for a snorkeling trip.
