Let’s get into it! Choosing Eco-Friendly Accommodations When planning your trip, prioritize accommodations that care for the environment.

The best Dhow cruise Musandam Fjords Simply the best boat! Very good lunch and drinks with final tea or coffee. We could swim and see dolphins. The Indian crew was very nice. And did everything to please us.

Dolphins, fantastic scenery and a warm welcome Fantastic day. We were picked up from the cruise terminal and looked after like royalty 👑. Spent a lot of time viewing dolphins and snorkeling in the sea. We were offered drinks regularly and had a great lunch. FANTASTIC DAY. THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST.

Dolphins and lovely nature views Such a lovely and comfortable tour, even worked really well with a baby and we saw many many dolphins. The one downside I guess is that I thought the snorkelling bit would be better, the water had poor visibility. However, overall quite a nice tour and the dolphins alone made it well worth it.

Dolphin watching The dhow boat is beautiful. It was a bit shaky to get on but when you got your sea legs it was great. The tour through the fjords was magnificent it’s an awesome experience. We stoped at a cove and the dolphins stared to follow the boat it was brilliant. It’s hard to set a photo of the dolphins as the guide was keeping an eye on the water and letting us know when they surfaced. It was great. Lovely 1/2 day tour.

First class dolphin watching and great snorkelling in stunning scenery We took a half day tour from Dhow Khasab Tours and had a lovely day. The boat was comfortable with the option of sunny or shaded areas and it wasn't too crowded. The scenery was well worth the visit and the dolphin watching was world class with plenty of good sightings. I wasn't expecting the snorkelling to be as good as it was but there were tons of interesting fish to see. I'd also like to thank the staff for helping my elderly father so kindly. My only two criticisms are that I could see no indication that the snorkelling equipment was disinfected or washed between guests and I am worried about the number of anchors being dropped on the reef areas for snorkelling. I understand that in developing tourist areas you can't expect regulatory processes to be perfect, but I would like to see some evidence of environmental protection policies being agreed and implemented in order to protect the fish and the dolphins in the long term.
