This trip wasn't the most...

3.00This trip wasn't the most interesting. We can commend the good navigation and the availability of food on board. However, we didn't see any dolphins. Either dolphins aren't found in the area at all, or they only appear during a certain season. There certainly weren't any in November. Expect to be tricked and not see any.
Esperienza fantastica

5.00It was truly an amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the best captain in Seeb harbor. Come to Oman, guys—it’s an extremely safe and beautiful country, even these days…

5.00It was an amazing experience, Yusuf and Muhammad were amazing tour guides and captains. We were able to swim with tutles and were at the first spot longer than other groups, also Yusuf went in the water with us and with his experience where to look was able to show us even more marine life. We then went to the second spot where we were basically alone and had the ability to se some octopuses as well. All in all great half day trip, would definitely recommend!

5.00I would absolutely recommend you book this. The group was smaller than many of the other boats and Fahan was amazing. He kept us in the less crowded spots, we saw black-tipped sharks and lots of turtles. No dolphins but almost a whale shark!

5.00We had a great time. Fahad took us to some great spots that weren’t too busy with other boats. We saw many turtles at the first spot and lots of colourful fish. At the second spot he took us to a spot on the rock mountain that allowed us to see eagle rays and baby sharks. The kids collected shells and explored the beach too. Gathas provided cold drinks, sandwiches and fruit. Highly recommend!
Outstanding trip

5.00Amazing half day trip. Not only did we see many turtles but also saw a baby shark. Fahad also took us to a beautiful white-sand beach and gave us the option of exploring or snorkelling. Unlike some of the other captains, he walked with us explaining about the surroundings and generally gave us interesting information about the local wildlife. I absolutely recommend this tour, bring a casing for your phone or better still an underwater camera and be prepared for some amazing colourful underwater wildlife 🤗
