4.00We had some wavy weather and unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins. The crew, from the driver to the boat staff were all super friendly and helpful. Snorkeling in a quiet bay off the coast was great. You could see a lot of fish and sea turtles.

5.00This tour was great fun and reasonable cost. The combination of dolphin watching and a snorkel stop was just right. We saw large pods of dolphins and the snorkeling was in nice calm water with plenty of fish. The tour was run really well and the nice thing was the shoreline ride back which enables you to get a good perspective of Muscat.

Dont book through the hotel or with Sibad tours. Use Mansa and go with a taxi

1.00This was the worst ever booking for a tour we have made. The tour was booked as a private tour with my husband. When the driver picked us up, he the told us we would pick up another couple from a different hotel. For 30 minutes we waited at the second place only to be told they were not joining (after many complaints). When we arrived, they were unapologetic, made up excuses that were invalid about traffic jams and closed roads when it was, in fact, their poor management. The also wanted charge us almost double the actual rate or send us back to the hotel summarily. The Magee, Ameen, is rude, arrogant and not client oriented at all. We did book with another company called Mansa. It was on the spot and done with great ease. Our booker, Anas, was kind, professional and helpful.

5.00Had a great time with Sidab Tours today. We were taken to see lots of Dolphins in their natural habitat and then on to take part in snorkelling where we saw plenty of coral fish and turtles too. We were comfortably picked up and dropped off to our hotel as well. I would recommend this experience.
Great Trip - will be back again next year
