Fahad is the goat. His knowledge of the sea and skill in snorkelling and diving is next level, and he found turtles for us, swimming right there in the water searching the reefs with us. One of the best days of our whole trip to Oman and Middle East. He's also just a genuinely lovely, friendly guy. The boat was clean and well organised, the equipment was great, and he had food, water, and cold water for rinsing off after swims. Worth noting: other guests at our hotel did a similar trip with a different operator that day. No turtles, everyone felt seasick, and they said never again. Shows just how much Fahad's skill and care make the difference. If you're in Oman and want to see turtles or the reefs, book with Fahad. Can't recommend him enough. 100% will be back with Fahad
This 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.
It 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…
The experience was very good, matching my expectations. Well organised, good and timely communications by the tour operator
It 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!
I 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!
Farhad was fantastic… great knowledge of the islands, the reef, and where to go to get the best experience. Sea turtles, black tip reef sharks, the works! Highly recommended… I was sad it was o my a half day!
Ahmed was my tour guide. He was extremely helpful in providing the deep historical for the landmarks but also make the drive the most efficient spots. The tour included Grand Mosque, the Opera House, the traditional Muttrah Souq, the marina, and the Sultan’s Palace.
the guide was supportive when I needed guidance using the snorkling equipment. Also, he was very knowledgeable about the eco system
We 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!
