Wonderful day on the water - A dhow cruise to the fjords is a ‘must-do’ when visiting Musandam. We chose Khasab Tours because of their history in the area and the many comments in guidebooks about their guides being the most knowledgeable. Adil was our guide and he and the crew took excellent care of us throughout the day. Adil was keen to explain the history of the area and happy to answer our many questions. The dolphin spotting was a huge success, both entering and leaving the fjords. There were quite a few boats at the beginning of the day searching for the dolphins and we were all thrilled at the way the bottlenose dolphins playfully swam and jumped beside our dhow. We had a special sighting just for our dhow at the end of the day - a mother and baby leapt out of the water very close to us, It was wonderful. The ever-changing geology and geography of the fjords were awe-inspiring, and it was impossible to tire of the views. The snorkelling was disappointing, though, which is completely beyond the control of the tour company. This area used to have a great reputation for snorkelling, but there is a lack of understanding of conservation, and the local fishermen have overfished and been apathetic towards the corals (discarding nets without thought of consequences). So the sightings of fish were limited and most of the coral was dead. So sad that such damage has been done to the area, and I hope that the government and community try to address this situation before it's too late (if it’s not already). The combination of the views, the warm sun and leisurely pace of travel imbued a sense of calm and relaxation, and we all disembarked refreshed and mellow.

Cruise in Musandam - Great cruise, great lunch (and great vegetarian options). Only note: the snorkeling equipment should be included it in the price instead of rented on top (around 5US): the currents in some Bays maje them will necessary to swim. One woman went swimming without them and had a hard time coming back to the boat.
