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.
