    Explanation about the canal and the islands was not given during the trip. And the captain didn't understand enough English to understand our questions.

    Great experience from start to finish. We got picked up on time from the hotel and taken straight to the boat. The islands are definitely something to see. The skipper took us to a beautiful isolated beach on the islands, away from the many other boats, which we appreciated.

  • Amazing experience in the Daymaniyat Islands

    The Daymaniyat Islands tour with the Muscat Islands team was simply wonderful! People are extremely attentive, from the moment of reception to the return to the harbor. The structure of the tour is very well organized — all designed to ensure comfort and safety. The captain and the assistant deserve special emphasis: both were very helpful, friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The staff really makes you feel welcome and comfortable throughout the journey. Overall, I loved the tour and definitely recommend the experience. An amazing way to experience the beauty of the Daymaniyat Islands and enjoy an unforgettable day in the Oman Sea.

  • A trip worth taking!

    An amazing experience for me and my family. From snorkelling to see turtles and exotic fish we had the added bonus of seeing sharks. Our captain, Faisal, was experienced, friendly and very knowledgeable. On our return journey we stopped to see a large spool of dolphins, it was something words can not describe and an experience that will stay with me and my family for a very long time.

    We recently visited Oman and took two snorkelling tours with Sidab Sea Tours - they were excellent!! The first trip was to Daymaniyat Island and the second was more local to Muscat, in the Bandar Khayran area. The trips were very well organised, and included transfer from/to our hotel and the marina, towels if you did not have any and snorkelling gear (mask, snorkel and fins). We had an excellent skipper, Shakkir, who was very professional and friendly. He gave us good tips on where to snorkel with the best chance of seeing turtles (we saw plenty feeding on the coral!) and on the way back to the marina he pointed out various landmarks. The boat was very comfortable and a good amount of space for all of the guests, especially for the longer trip to Daymaniyat. The dolphins were playing hide and seek, but we did manage to see a few. I would definitely recommend these trips and using Sidab sea tours!
