5.00It is a unique experience to try something different while visiting the Emirates. Pristine waters to dive in, very warm people taking care of you from beginning to end. According to the schedulle we did not miss anything, had fun, experienced the peaceful villages of northern Oman and adequate food and drinks during the whole tour. I hardly recommend this excursion

5.00This was quite possibly a highlight of my Dubai trip. The boat ride was great with personal care from a guide from the tour company. Also the driver was very friendly and relaxing. I considered doing this a second day even.
We had fun! Long drive

Boating on traditional dhow the “Norway of Arabia”

5.00Good communication from the operator regarding pick up logistics. Our driver (Nandhan) arrived promptly at the designated time. It was me and a family group of 4 on the tour. Nandhan was an attentive driver and it was evident that the comfort of his guests was of utmost priority. He shepherded us smoothly through border/customs checks in and out of UAE and Oman. He made sure we were supplied with cold bottled water and we had nice little tea break at vista point in Oman before making way down to Khasab. The dhow boat tour was wonderful, such pretty scenery and the snorkeling was nice. We got to see lots of dolphins. Ismail worked hard to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying the day from doling out tea/water/soda/fruits to diving for sea scallops and cleaning them all to serve to everyone. It was nice to get out of Dubai and enjoy nature, sea, and beautiful scenery for the day. The lunch was served on the boat and had some variety, pretty basic but plentiful. Overall, just a great experience and highly recommended this tour. I will add/caveat that it is a very long day - I was picked up at 5:45AM and dropped off at 7:45PM. Just getting between Dubai and Khasab takes about 3 1/2 hours with border controls, break/bathroom stops, and traffic.
