“We didn't see any dolphins and the captain didn't seem too focused on making it happen. Realistically you should consider this a beach and snorkeling trip. The two spots were nice. The first was the most algae filled water (nearly green slime) I've ever seen (mid-march). The second was better. The first location had lots of the turtles, the second was more healthy coral. Overall good but not mind-blowingly awesome”

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 18 reviews · 2 hours · from $28

Two-hour Muscat dolphin-watching cruise from Marina Bandar al Rowdha with drinks, snacks, life jackets, and expert guidance in small groups.

“We had booked and paid for this tour in advance, but when we arrived the staff initially refused to let us board, even though we showed both our booking confirmation and proof of payment. We arrived at 9:40 AM, exactly as we were instructed, yet we were forced to wait until 10:40 AM — over one hour — with no clear explanation. After many back-and-forth phone calls between GetYourGuide and the local operator, we were finally allowed to board a different boat, more than an hour later than scheduled. By the time the boat departed, the tour barely felt like it had started. We were also promised an English-speaking guide…”
