Lots of dolphins seen.

4.00Nice tour to relax. If you want to snorkel, there are better corners. The water was cloudy and hardly any fish were visible. But we had seen a lot of dolphins on the tour. Our guide had a good eye for it and they are also lured with whistles. There were drinks and Obst on board.
A beautiful trip.

5.00It all worked out great. WhatsApp previously communicated the exact time and place. There were only about 30 people on the Daut. We saw the dolphins.
A Hidden Gem in the Middle East – Musandam Khasab is Breathtaking!

5.00Our trip to Musandam Khasab was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we crossed the border, the stunning fjord-like landscapes and the serenity of the sea took our breath away. The dhow cruise was the highlight – relaxing on traditional cushions, enjoying fresh fruits, unlimited refreshments, and watching playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat was magical. We stopped for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and saw vibrant marine life. The staff was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying every moment. The traditional Omani lunch served on board was delicious and added a nice cultural touch. The entire experience felt like a peaceful escape from the hustle of city life. Highly recommended for couples, families, and nature lovers. Truly a must-do trip if you're visiting the UAE or Oman!

5.00The trip was perfect! We were picked up by the tour company and taken to the boat. We were introduced to the crew and off we went. There were only two other people on our boat as it was a weekday. The crew was very attentive and did their best to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. You can tell that they also really enjoy their job. We were able to spot the dolphins multiple times and had plenty of time to swim. They got us back to the dock at the end time on the dot! Would highly recommend!
Very recommended

5.00We are on the dhow in the morning. Everything was extremely well organized from the pick up to the whole drive to Telegraph Island and then the swimming. We were glad we left in the morning. We had a boat almost to ourselves, there were about 18 people present. The captain and his assistant were very nice, helpful and very attentive during the trip. We had the experience of swimming with the dolphins twice on the boat. That was a really great experience. The captain adjusted the speed of the boat to the dolphins and if they swam under the boat, the speed was immediately reduced. We also got to swim. The water was crystal clear, warm and extremely salty.
Boat trip and nothing more

3.00We negotiated a price tag of 15 € per person for a group of 20 people. We agreed on a separate boat for the group. On the boat there is tea/coffee/water and fruit. Near the telegraph island there is an opportunity for those who wish to swim in the sea (the water was cool). Along the way, we spent half an hour chasing a dolphin! That's all! And yes, you can also collect shells on the local beach))
Nice pastime
