The staff were real pros, through and thorough. Everything went smoothly from the hotel pickup to the cruise itself and drop off in the evening. The boat crew was personable, friendly, fun, and clearly just wanted you to have a good time. Would highly recommend if you have the time.

A different experience caped by dolphins swimming alongside the Dhow.The meal served was OK too. The day was a bit too long owing to the distance travelled from Dubai and the length of the boat ride.

The boat trip was really wonderful and all of the staff were great! I wish I had known that it was 13 hours and that half of it would be in a van.

One of the most beautiful and unique places on the planet. Captain Abdul Aziz was the ideal guide. Humpback dolphins. Coral reefs. Fjords, and soaring mountains showing thousands of years of ocean history, in fine layers. Do it!
