What To Expect

Enjoy a 25-minute boat trip to the beautiful Daymaniyat Islands, “ Nature Reserve”. The Islands are a sanctuary for birds and turtles to nest their eggs. Virtually everyone who comes here does so to dive. There are nine low, rocky little islets here, strung out in a line from east to west and clustered in three quite widely separated groups, surrounded by coral reefs. The islands have been protected as a nature reserve since 1996 and provide an important nesting site for hawksbill and green turtles, as well as a wide range of migratory birds including the increasingly rare sooty falcon, one of the few migratory raptors which actually nests and breeds in the region. Throughout the year you will see 3 different species of turtles who come since centuries to the islands. A huge diversity of hard & soft corals. Common encounters will be honeycomb Murray Eel, sting rays, schools of fish, sometimes black tip sharks. For those coming during summer our good friend the Whale Shark will definitely be around.

We had a great trip today with Captain B. He knows his stuff and knew exactly where to find the turtles ( which were incredible). He made sure we all had good quality equipment and plenty of snacks and drinks. He ended the trip by taking us to a paradise beach. A truly enjoyable trip that I am so glad we decided to do. One of our Oman highlights
Amazing experience

Was absolutely amazing! Me and my partner have never done snorkelling before or been in the ocean so it was our first time and Captain Hassan was helpful and supportive. We only saw around a few turtles though compared to other videos which showed people seeing many more
Great half day trip

Great half day of snorkelling. The whole trip was about four hours from leaving Seeb Harbour. 30 minute fast speedboat ride to 1st snorkelling point, snorkelling from the boat. We saw lots of turtles, coral and fish, sea was warm and calm, good visibility. .Next stop was to an island nearby where you could walk to the beach from the boat and either sit, swim, snorkel or walk. We then got back to Harbour at 5:30 as the Sun was setting. There were plenty of drinks and snacks on the boat and Captain Happy Flower was excellent.
Turtles without end 😅

We had a wonderful day with Captain Nemo. He served us with plenty of food and drinks and showed us some great snorkeling spots. Everything was very well organized, and the equipment was in excellent condition. We'd love to go again!

This was a perfect activity for a short stay in Oman and an opportunity to see some of the country's stunning natural beauty. The tour was well organised and the staff were helpful and friendly, with clarity on departure/arrival times and offering snacks and water. The views of the reef and wildlife were wonderful and well worth seeing. Highly recommended.
Nice snorkeling experience

Nice snorkeling experience and very helpful guides, pity that to see the sharks at the second stop the water was a murky pelin, but we still saw them.
An unforgettable experience!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish! Huge thanks to the kind and friendly staff who guided us through the snorkelling trip and made us feel at ease from the moment we arrived. They stayed with everyone the entire day, offering plenty of refreshments and making sure we were all comfortable whether you were a strong swimmer or a beginner, they made it as easy and enjoyable as possible. Their banter and funny personalities kept us laughing and relaxed throughout. Couldn’t recommend them more!
