You have to do it while in Dubai such a great day - Great relaxing time on the boat, great time with swimming at sea, it is true there is a three hour drive but you are in a comfortable airconditionned bus and you can enjoy the landscape.

From Down Under - So pleased to have selected this activity to do. Could not have been a better day. From start to finish I could not fault the friendly, efficient, well organised effort that the Mussandam team put in to look after us. The trip to the cruise, the cruise, activities and lunch were all exceptional Our driver Shelfi displayed total professionalism with his driving and directions at the border, his instructions and help got us through without any hitch. I would recommend this trip to everyone, Couples, families, teens, friends, business and solo. From the very young to the more mature. I cant say enough about this enjoyable experience. I I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Amazing trip for a group or family - If you are in any of the emirates and looking for a day trip, this one should be one of the first few. Inexpensive, well organized and can be arranged easily. We booked it using a travel agent, but local contacts are plenty. However, don't travel unplanned as it takes paperwork to cross the UAE borders as the Dibba corner falls under Oman. No implications for single / multiple entry tourist visas.

Now - if you have read one of my other reviews...... - You’ll know I like a boat ride on my Birthday....
So I may be biased but......
1) It’s a long day with a long coach ride from Dubai that’s the only downside.
2) The ride itself let us see some things that we wouldn’t have seen if we’d stayed in the city.
3) The border crossing into Oman was a bit protracted but..... we visited another country!!
4) The dhow was great - lovely scenery - good crew - lots to do. 5 activities when we stopped: swimming, snorkelling, trip to beach, speedboat ride & banana boat ride then a good lunch and a stop for fishing with hand lines before returning to port, and a coach ride home
Great trip - recommend.

Nice experience but could make more of the time - Everything was well organized (entry permit, pick up points, etc) but there was a lot of waiting involved. We were picked up at our hotel at 6:20am, got back at 7:20pm and the actual boat trip was from 12:00 to 4:00
We had about 1,5 hours to swim and only stopped at one spot to get off the boat. The other stop was for fishing which was annoying for half of the guests.
We had great company and enjoyed the views but would have liked more cruising or swimming and less waiting. Vegans: better bring your own food.

Beautiful boat trip - Timely pick up from our hotel. We were drove out of Dubai and then we change our vehicle to a bus. After about 2h on the road we crossed the border with Oman (all went very swiftly as company arranged all the documents on our behalf). We took a boat and sailed out. Beautiful views, very relaxing atmosphere. Staff were attentive and providing us with drinks. Once we anchored the boat, they took us out further on a speed boat. Views were amazing. We stopped to get the banana ride ready. I had a strange gut feeling and didn’t want to go first. Told my hubby we will wait for the second round. The ride was fast and seemed fun and then the boat guy dropped them off the banana ride. All part of the plan right? Except that one lady hit the other one with her head and she had a split lip (really badly). There was blood everywhere. The injured lady seemed to loose consciousness and had to be helped back on the motorboat. We helped her and her family to stop the bleeding with towels and we were telling the guy to take her to hospital asap. We went back to the big boat and the guy brought over 1st aid kit.. now I’m not being funny but you can’t use bandaid on a wound like that!! They eventually took the lady and her family back to the port on a speedboat. Rest of us just tried to enjoy ourselves. We did snorkelling, kayaking and sunbathing. Despite the accident we had a really good time. They have provided hot lunch and it was delicious (good choice of veg and non-veg dishes). We got back to the port late afternoon. The Italian family we’re back on the bus and the injured lady was there! 40 stitches on her lip but safe and with her family. We were so happy to see her.
We drove back to Dubai and we were back at our hotel after about 3h.
Despite the accident, it was a wonderful trip. I took one star away as staff were clearly not trained in first aid. Accidents happen but how you react to them really matter.

Great fun & food worth the travel & price - Read mixed reviews wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was worth every penny! Travel time each side is approx 1.5-2hrs. We sailed out for 35mins and then stopped to swim & snorkel, the snorkelling was amazing lots of different fish to see. Then we had banana boat rides and ate lunch which was really tasty! Salads, chicken tikka peices, baked fish, rice, roti etc we were offered plenty of cold drinks and tea & coffee throughout the day. The tour staff and the boat staff were very friendly and made the trip. We had one difficult passenger on board who kept moaning about certain things but they handled her really well! I’d suggest getting off the coach as quick as you can so you can get a sun lounger on the upper deck!

A very well organised, full-on day! - A very well organised cruise, starting from the moment we were picked up to when we finally got back to the hotel. The guys on the boat couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. So why not 5-stars? Well I have to say that the scenery of Oman is basically cliffs and rocks and little else. A great experience overall though. Would I recommend it to others? Yes. Would I do it again? No.

Not recommended - The tour has four downside
1. The tour take about 3 hours including pick up and drive to the destination. And Its pick up and drop off service is not organized well. It does first pick up and last drop off. So if you are scheduled to be picked up first. You will spend 1-2 hours more than other guests in the van
2. Its activity is not well organized. It has speed boat, banana boat and beach for the activities. The tour guide said he will call when the activity is ready to go but he didn’t do this which made me missing the banana boat activity
3. There are a lot of flies around the food it provided. Not sure the food is clean or not
4. The driver turned on a bright blue light in the van when the sky went dark when we returned. This made me extremely uncomfortable.
Besides all the things above, the tour is very boring. Long travel long time in the van and the view is the same everywhere
