Def worth it for me!

5.00Great experience for me. You can read other reviews for the details. Here's some you may not read: Yes, it is a bit of driving, I brought good headphones with music and video for that part, no problem. The food was pretty much unlimited after it was served, so you don't have to worry about getting in line first or not getting seconds if you want. I think the tours may look similar, but I realized some wouldn't pick up at my hotel, this one did. Really awesome to get an Oman stamp on the passport, the easy way.
The bus trip was not...

4.00The bus trip was not comfortable. I knew how long a ride it would be, but I was looking forward to the day at sea in Oman, so that didn’t bother me. Transferring buses midtrip, getting on a bus with smoking odors, and almost being put on the wrong bus getting back did bother me. The incorrect bus transfer on the way back to Dubai was only caught by me. Just in time. In addition, jumping across two or three boats to board ours was uncomfortable as well. They were there to offer hands and help, but why can’t each boat be at the dock instead of linked next to each other. It didn’t feel safe. The crew on board was excellent. The boat felt safe, and it was a lovely experience on board.
Cheeky day trip to Oman

3.00The man I spoke to on WhatsApp was very rude when I supposedly sent my friend's visa too late, despite the fact that on Viator it said 24 hours, but apparently it was meant to be 72 hours, so i helped correct their mistake on Viator. We eventually sorted it out and continued with the booking. However, his response was very rude, so there's a minus one star there. The bus ride is very long, probably 6 hour round trip but we knew that going in, but just be wary it's a very long drive. Border crossing was cool, one of the first land borders I've crossed, not too flashy, was hoping for a passport stamp, but they don't stamp passports unfortunately. Once we got on the Dhow boat, the crew were incredible, very helpful and very accomodating. Big shout out to the crew. Activities were as expected, was fun to swim in the Omani seas, although the snorkelling was a bit pointless as the visibility in the water was terrible, so didn't see any fish. Buffet was incredible. Great food, and staff were great in explaining the food. Was hoping there was a souvenir shop or something on the Omani side but didn't look like there was much, lots of construction on the port, felt like we were maybe 5 years too early. But there wasn't a way to buy any Omani souvenirs unfortunately. Overall, 4 stars, but the rude man on WhatsApp reduces this to 3 stars.
