Truly great door to door experience! They took care of everything from transport, border crossing paperwork, delicious lunch, snorkeling, dolphins, fishing, opportunity to go to land & walk around as well, with incredible views of the Oman coastline! 1000% recommend this specific tour over others posted & the guide Nandhan with Aladdin Lamps Tours was especially fantastic, catering to every need, question, request & truly caring about giving his guests the best experience possible. There’s a 2-3 hours drive & back, to get to the port. Then you’ll spend the day on the water in nature relaxing or doing activities. But it’s an all inclusive doable day trip from Dubai & worth it to get to experience nature & see another country while in the area.

Great day trip option from Dubai. Excellent transfer service and they handled all the border paperwork in advance. Boat is relaxing and offers two good opportunities to get out and swim. Scenery is superb.

Best experience 5 of 5 Hands down the best dive experience I’ve had in Dubai! If you’re thinking of diving, don’t miss the chance to book with this company—they are professional, fun, and truly care about making your experience unforgettable. A special shoutout to Boris, the dive instructor—he’s funny, cool, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made learning feel so easy and stress-free, even if you’re new to diving. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to capture some amazing underwater photos that I’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a safe, exciting, and well-organized dive trip with a personal touch, this is the team to trust. 100% recommended!

Firstly it was like traveling back in time being in a Persian carpet bottom dhow! Our group was small, 12 tourists and 2 crew. Very little common language but very pleasant group. Yes the water was gorgeous. Swimming and snorkeling among schools of yellow finned and electric blue fish. Dolphins playing in our wake for long periods. Wow! The 1 shipmate was wonderful, bringing around fruits and cold drinks repeatedly as well as preparing a beautiful lunch. We came across a very large group of cormorants, estimated 2,000-6,000. Really really exceptional and creating a special life long memory.

This was a great and welcome day out from the frenetic pace of Dubai. Everything ran smoothly. A 6.30 start from our hotel , quite doable , and with one other pick up we were on our way up through the other emirates to Oman . Don’t see too much from the motorway but could spot plenty of camels the further north you went . Not usually one for 6 hr boat trips but this was done very well . Well fed and watered with plenty of activities .If you’re going on one of these trips make sure you’ve got the one with the border taxes included . Also make sure you’ve got the trip that goes to Khasab not Dibba as I think some of those billed as boat trips do not land on Omani soil . They just travel up the coast .

We had the best time on this trip! The boat trip was so comfortable and peaceful, the views were absolutely stunning with the fjords and the incredible color of the water, the food was great, there was fishing. We saw a bunch of dolphins and the snorkeling was great as well. Our guide Nandhan was the absolute best! Would highly recommend and definitely do this again - thank you so much for such an amazing day and experience!!

The trip was amazing! It is such a beautiful place to visit. Going with this tour was great because they help guide you through the border and the visa is included in the fee. Our driver Nandhan did a great job!
