Beautiful boat excursion for the whole day with lunch on the beach. They took us snorkelling in two places where we swam between colorful fish and many turtles. They give you all their masks, fins and if necessary life jackets. Also much appreciated the bottle as a gift and the link from which to download the underwater photos taken during the excursion.

We had a lovely morning snorkelling and exploring the island. The company is really friendly and we had great communication. We have never seen so many turtles all at once. We also walked across the island to see small sharks- not to swim with though. The 2 captains made us feel very safe and provided sandwiches, biscuits and water. I would thoroughly recommend this company for a visit to the Daymaniat islands.

Fantastic day out snorkelling at the Daymaniat islands. Lots of turtles, angel, parrot fish and many nemos to be seen along with the most amazing octopus, it was so well organised. Thank you to all the team

Hands down one of the best experiences of our lives, something that will remain in our hearts and minds forever. From Lia's help and kindness throughout the booking process to Captain Fahad and first mate Saeed's warmth and knowledge of the ocean and seacreatures, we felt safe, informed, and happy all day. A special thank you to captain Fahad who we love and appreciate his tenderness and attentiveness to us and our children, always making sure we are safe and involved. A truly special person and team. We feel as though our family has grown. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts

Fantastic 1/2 day to snorkel with turtles at the Daymaniat Islands. Very organised and safe trip. Captain Nassir and Abdul were welcoming, knowledgable and ensured that we had a great experience. We were very fortunate to also see cuttlefish during the snorkelling. On the boat trip we saw a whale shark and pods of dolphins adding to a very memorable morning! We chose the Daymaniat Shells team because of their conservation work and can highly recommend them.

Found by chance with the search for various tours, I must say that we probably chose the best. Unlike other tours the boat was brand new, very fast and comfortable. Also the directions, both before, during the payment and the trip were perfect. You can see that they like to do this job and are very careful to preserve the whole nature of the place with different actions: you are given a bottle to avoid the use of disposable plastics and then the captain always ensures to clean the beaches where he takes you. We saw turtles, sharks, octopuses and even dolphins on the way back.
