“I had such a memorable experience with my first time snorkelling. I got to see many turtles, fishes and even an eel! We had captain Sani (Hassan) who was a gentleman. He ensured we were well briefed, and entertained throughout. Sani also helped me get accustomed to snorkelling - taking me out in to the waters where I was able to spot exotic wildlife. Thank you Captain! 🫡”

“The Captain took us to two quieter locations with only 1 other boat tour. My wife and I saw turtles galore and a wide variety of colourful fish and other sea creatures.

We only lost a window … absolutely the best snorkelling we have ever experienced…”

Review of Muscat’s Dimaniyat Islands snorkeling tour, with turtles, coral, dolphins, lunch, practical tips, price advice, and honest drawbacks.
“This was a fantastic tour from beginning to end. The guide who picked us up was great, giving us information about sites that we passed. The boat out to the island was comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. The water was beautiful and perfect temperature. Swimming with the turtles was the highlight. The second swim stop was more for swimming than snorkelling as there wasn’t much to see but it was still great. The packed lunch was great and there was plenty of food and drinks for everyone.”

Snorkel Muscat’s shallow reefs, search for dolphins and turtles, and enjoy hotel pickup, gear, drinks, and a four-hour sea trip.
“Eine super organisierte Tour. Wir wurden direkt am Hafentor abgeholt. Der Guide hat sich viel Mühe gegeben uns in Sichtweite der Delfine zu bringen. Das Schnorcheln hat Spaß gemacht. Haben einige Fische gesehen und eine riesige Schildkröte. Das Korallenriff ist aber nicht so schön wie z.B. in Ägypten oder auf den Malediven. Für unseren jüngeren Sohn (so groß wie ein 5 Jähriger) hatte ich einen eigenen Schnorchel und Taucherbrille mit. Die Kosten von 330€ für 4 Personen fand ich im Vergleich zu anderen Touren von Get your guide etwas zu teuer. 280€ fänd ich passender. Ansonsten rundum zufrieden.”
An animal, a kind of water, a kind of boat, or a kind of day.
