Our snorkeling adventure will transport you to two distinct spots teeming with marine life such as Turtles, Black tip sharks, Rays, Eels, and a variety of Reef Fish.
In the months from November to April, we include a pause at the beach, typically nestled between the snorkeling sessions. This interlude provides an opportunity to explore the island, capture memories with photographs, and unwind on the sandy shores.

Great experience, well organised. - The process for booking was really quick and easy, with ongoing communication in the lead up to the tour.
The staff were all friendly and kept us well informed about what to expect on the day. The boat was a comfortable ride, and the snorkelling was a great experience! It was lovely to see the focus on maintaining the wellbeing of the wildlife. Highly recommended!

Best trip ever with amazing guides - We were on a Tour with Fahad (I have we spell the name correctly). He was absolutely great. Funny, always with a smile, open for.questions, calm and we never felt in a rush. We saw at least 20 whale sharks that day and a later on near the island we saw a lot of turtles and fishes.
We couldn't have wished for a better crew and day. The boat was nearly brand new and the offer of sandwiches and fruits was very delicious. Also they provided plenty of fresh water to refill.
Overall it was a perfect day with an amazing guide 🤩

Daymaniat Shells is the way to go to the islands - Very nice trip, very friendly and efficient crew, amazing scenery around the islands. No need to go to the Caribbean or Maledives.

Best Snorkelling outfit in Muscat - The only company to consider for you're daymaniyat snorkel trip, Captain Bwana and Joshua went out of their way to search for Whale sharks (unfortunately we didn't see any, but the effort was appreciated) and took us to two fantastic spots around the islands.
As a Diving Instructor, who worked for the past year in Muscat I highly commend the proffesionalism and relaxed nature of these guys, the boats where clean, the staff where exellent, the water bottles where a great touch, and they where happy to share pictures after the trip. I would reccomend to anyone looking for an unforgettable morning at the islands.
