Dolphin's hunt and travel along the coast of Oman from Musandam to Salalah, and Muscat has a fair share of sightings of spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and common dolphins. That is in addition to sightings of Whale Sharks (from May to October), false killer Whales, and occasional sightings of Humpback Whales. We do our best to get you to experience wildlife watching in a responsible manner to help protect our resident Dolphins and all other natural and human assets.

The Omani coastline has many rocky faces and wadis and is described as the “Omani Fjords”. Amongst these Fjords are many quiet and naturally protected spaces for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP board use. On this experience, we have picked a snorkeling site that is shallow, rich in colorful corals and green and hawksbill turtles year-round.

You might need to bring: Sun protection to suit your need. Please consider coral friendly options, to help us preserve the coral.

It was a great experience. The boat was comfortable, the captain very nice. You have enough cold drinks in the boat, which you can help yourself to for free. As a snack you also get two small muffins. The boat trip started for us initially by finding and watching the dolphins. And we were not the only boat, several boats did this at the same time, so in my opinion the dolphins were scared off, among other things. Nevertheless, fortunately, we could see them. However, you should be aware that you can only see the dolphins from a distance. Afterwards we were driven back, and for all passengers except my husband and I the journey ended here. We were then the only ones driven again to snorkel. I was snorkeling for the first time and loved it. We had about an hour there.

A special thanks to Captain Bilal, who accompanied us throughout the journey — his professionalism and warm attitude made the experience even more special.

An excellent tour which lasted all morning. We saw dolphins. But never felt that we were too close to stress them out. Only one niggle was that the music played on our boat was a little too loud at times.

We've been waiting on another group who didn't show up. So the boat was only for 2 of us. We were going straight to a place where some boats were feeding dolphins and other boats with tourists were chasing groups of dolphins. There were hundreds of small dolphins. So this part of the trip was really nice. Our captain was successful and always scanning where other dolphins are. Then we went for snorkeling to another place with a small reef. We were snorkeling for Cca 45 minutes and saw lot of fish and a turtle. There was a water and juices on board. A small snack (cookie) was also ready for us. Would recommend

I recently took a 3-hour dolphin watching and snorkeling tour with QTOURS.OM, and it was fantastic. The dolphin watching segment was thrilling, with knowledgeable guides who ensured we saw several pods of dolphins in their natural habitat. The snorkeling portion was equally impressive, with clear waters and vibrant marine life. The tour was well-organized, and the staff were friendly and professional throughout. Highly recommended for a memorable aquatic adventure!
Best tour ever
