Excellent snorkeling trip, 10/10 - This is a phenomenal experience and I have never seen so many turtles before in my life swimming. The tour was perfectly paced, with two stops that were about one hour each. Great snorkeling at both spots. The guide was 10/10, very professional, and he took care of everyone with his expertise and hospitality. I think the best part is he even airdropped some amazing video from his camera of us snorkeling. Highly highly impressed.

Comfortable family adventure. - Nimo is a legit guide. Friendly, welcoming, insightful, helpful. The smaller group size makes for an awesome relaxed experience. Turtles and fish galore. Oman, you have the middle Eastern part of my heart♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Excellent excursion to do without hesitation - Our two crew members were very helpful and caring. Lunch with snacks (chips and cakes) and soft drinks. Discovery of two different sites the first for snorkeling where you swim with turtles and beautiful fish and the second most relaxing sandy beach colors turquoise emerald

Great day - We had a lovely day seeing the islands snorkelling and walking around the island. We saw heaps of turtles! Captain Ashraf created a really nice atmosphere and made us feel very welcome, he even took some videos of us underwater with the turtles!

Expensive - The tour does not offer pickup or drop-off, the Taxi Oman app did not work for me and I ended up paying through my nose for a hotel taxi to the port and back, bringing the total for the trip up to an extortionate price. For that, I’d say, it was only alright. Oman is the turtle Mecca of the world…that much is apparent, when you see a dozen and are told, it was a really bad day, because they frequently spot twice as many as that. So, if you like turtles, it might still be worth it. However, the reef in the islands is completely dead, which is a shame. I‘d been on a dolphin watching and snorkeling trip that had stopped at another spot where the corals were still colorful and in much better shape and I saw as many turtles there, so would advise to go there rather than the islands. Also, given the price and the cold water temperatures, I think the company should be offering wet suit jackets as is standard in most other countries with relatively cold sea temperatures. I really hope that all tour companies going to the islands will try more to protect the reef/ give it a chance to recover as it was just sad to see the current state.

A questionable experience - We chose this company in spite of the highest cost because of the kayak option offered as my husband doesn’t snorkel . At the first stop I reminded the captain but at the second stop no kayak appeared. So overall disappointed that the extra price wasn’t worth it and we wouldn’t have done the trip had I known. For anyone looking to book, all boats seem to be identical in what they offer so you may as well choose a cheaper option . Also I’d question the viability of this kind of trip - one tourist was bouncing on the coral as she tried to take photos of turtles, everyone else crowding in too closely too. Lots of boats, too many people and none of it can be good for the coral or turtles.

Poor - Service is terrible. I asked for help but they couldn’t do. I think They’re very lazy! They do not prioritise their guests
