Beautiful tour with a great crew - We had a wonderful day (April 14, 2024) with Captain Yasir and crew member Modderchir. Both were very nice and explained a lot to us. Thank you very much, highly recommended!

Just perfect! - Great tour, very nice team! We took a tour in the afternoon and had the whole boat to ourselves, the team really made an effort to show us dolphins and left nothing to our wishes. We recommend!

Relaxed dhow cruise with dolphin sighting - It was a very nice trip on a typical dhow, booked as part of a cruise. Very well organized, we were picked up on time and brought back on time. The staff were friendly, the food was as described. We were able to see dolphins and the snorkeling stop was also worth it. A nice and recommendable trip

Highly recommended - I booked this 3 hr half day tour as it was so well reviewed. We were in Khasab for one day off a cruise. Believe me, there is NOTHING to do in Khasab other than a tour outside of it! We saw plenty of dolphins, we swam in the sea and the weather was perfect. The guys who run the tour are first class. Very attentive, get plenty of soft drinks, fruit and tea or coffee. Best 3 hrs we invested in during our 7 day cruise.

Perfect morning cruise - A great day from start to finish! We arrived at the tour office just before 9am, had a friendly welcome and sorted payment quickly. We were on the boat and setting off by 9.20am. The tour guide & captain were incredibly helpful, from carrying the boys to the boat, to being friendly, helpful, informative and safety conscious. They were amazing with our 3.5yr old and 1.5yr old, and our friends 2 boys the same age. The captain let the. boys have a go at steering the boat which they loved, the guide was super friendly with the boys, cutting up fruit for them and offering them juice. We were lucky enough to what seemed like an endless supply of dolphins. It was Great! We would highly recommend the tour and can't fault the experience at all. Thanks again.

Beautiful half-day trip - The overall tour was great: nice ship with restroom, plenty of swimming break - and most importantly lots of dolphin sightings! The only downside was the extreme late arrival of some guests (which was never properly adressed...) which caused a delay for the tour of 60+ minutes which kind of sucks when you get up early yourself to be on-time.

BAD PAYMENT EXPERIENCE - The dhow was great and we saw the dolphins. I made to this company a link payment for the amount of money they requested. Their website got stuck and never sent to my email any confirmation. They had a problem with their bank to receive the money so they made me pay again on my arrival to Khassab by credit card. Now, they received the link payment amount from their bank and they are not proceeding with the reimbursement. Meaning I've paid double. They don't even answer the phone. Be careful with them!
