The views are absolutely breathtaking!!

The journey itself was smooth and scenic, and once we arrived, the views were absolutely breathtaking—towering mountains, crystal-clear waters, and a peaceful atmosphere that felt like a true escape from the city. The dhow cruise was the highlight of the day. We enjoyed swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing on the boat while taking in the stunning surroundings. The water was calm and refreshing, and everything was well organized from start to finish. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip. Lunch on board was simple but tasty, and there was plenty of time to just relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Musandam. Overall, it was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and experience one of the most beautiful coastal spots in the region

Disappointing

The only good things about the excursion were the food and the service from the guides and drivers. The snorkeling was disappointing; there was no visibility at all. The worst part was the hours spent traveling on the road. It's worth mentioning that most of the excursion time is spent on the journey. It took over four hours to get to the boat and almost five hours to get back—it was very uncomfortable. I certainly won't be doing it again.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food and appreciated the service provided by our guides and drivers. We will certainly pass your kind words on to the team. We are sorry to learn that some aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations. As outlined in the tour description prior to booking, this excursion involves a long overland journey, and the travel and cruising times form a significant part of the overall experience. While we strive to ensure a comfortable trip, road traffic conditions can vary and are unfortunately beyond our control. Regarding the snorkeling experience, water visibility is influenced by natural factors such as weather, tides, currents, and marine conditions on the day of the tour. While we always hope guests can enjoy clear waters, visibility cannot be guaranteed and may differ from day to day. Hi Luis, We appreciate your feedback, as it helps future travelers better understand the nature of the excursion. Thank you again for joining us, and we wish you enjoyable travels ahead.

It's funny.

We had so much fun, the trip a bit long but in the end it's worth it. We went snorkelling, kayaking, a fun banana boat ride and then they took us to a really fabulous little beach. A good buffet lunch and finally we were also made to fish...... what can I say, nice.

Great day out on a dhow boat

It was a great day out and we loved our time on the boat. I don't know what that other person was on about it being unhygienic, but this is how most of the world lives and runs. We didn't have any issues with the cleanliness of the boat. They have two outdoor shower hoses to rinse off after swimming in the bathtub-warm water, two toilets with bidet hose and sinks. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to a larger bus, which drove us to the Omani border about an hour and a half away. You need to bring your passport and cash for the exit fee, which is collected on the bus (31 AED). You first cross the UAE border, then drive over to the Omani border control and do the same. Within five minutes you are then at the boat. On the way back it's the exact same process but in reverse The sailing was smooth and they offered us refreshments. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the first beach and there you could swim, speed boat, banana boat, lie on the beach, kayak or snorkel. After a couple of hours lunch was cooked by the boat crew and after a quick cooldown swim the boat sails over to view the Musandam caves and do some line fishing. A few people on our boat caught some fish, one guy caught a squid. The scenery is incredible, and seeing the limestone caves is worth a trip on its own. The whole experience was great and I would highly recommend it to anyone to go on it.

Fun Day in the Water in Oman

A great way to spend a day in Oman and enjoy 5 hrs on a cruise along the rugged coast. Snorkel (saw blue & yellow striped fish, huge sea urchins, and some coral), ride in the speed boat, ride on the banana boat, and enjoy a buffet lunch on the boat. The tour operator did a great job of making everything go smoothly for everyone at the border.

Operator response

We’re glad our tour operator could ensure everything ran smoothly at the border. We hope you get to explore more with us soon! Warm Regards,
