Captivated by the ocean eyes - Very pleasant experience with well experienced captains. We saw lots of turtles, a stingray and giant fish. It was the first snorkelling adventure for my daughter and I always felt safe and well looked after. They provided tasty refreshments too and the boat comes with a toilet and a shower. I could not have asked for more. Absolutely recommended!

A Whale of a time :-) - We joined Captain Fahad and his crew on a day adventure to the Daymaniat Islands in hope of sighting whale sharks. I have been enviously following Fahad on socials and seeing all the whale shark encounters. We visited in the ‘season’ to maximise the chances of spotting these coveted marine life. The boat is top class, super modern, spacious and faired the waves infinitely better than the dive boat we were on the previous day. The safety briefing and plan for the day were communicated very well and made us very comfortable and reassured. The Daymaniat islands were stunning, in 30 mins of snorkeling we saw turtles, barracuda, multiple other fish, soft and hard corals. However, we left too soon ,but very excitingly because Fahad got notification of whale sharks in the vicinity. We arrived at an ocean location to see 10-15 whale sharks feeding on planktons; their dorsal fins, tails and mouths bobbing out of the ocean. They were bigger than the 2 individuals I’ve seen previously and we were absolutely privileged to see so many. We were carefully guided into the water by Fahad to experience these gentle giants in a respectful way. The viewings from the boat were possibly even better (due to low visibility in the water). I loved every minute and I think we had about 90mins with them. I was over the moon and delighted that the team managed to make our wishes come true. This was a truly magical experience for me. I would recommend the trip in a heartbeat, even if we weren’t so unbelievably fortunate to have this incredible encounter with the whale sharks, the trip would still have been excellent. Thanks Daymaniat Shells – don’t hesitate to book now!

Perfect snorkeling - Everything perfect! The tour was very well organized, we were offered drinks and sandwiches for the duration of the excursion. Captain Ashraf was super helpful and kind; always willing to help travelers. He also took several shots while snorkeling and they were shared a few hours later. I highly Recommendation this operator!

Great Tour - Such a great tour! The tour went smoothly. We had a wonderful day. There were plenty of snacks, juices, and water. The area is stunningly beautiful. We could see various animals. I would definitely recommend this tour to the islands. A big shoutout to our captain, Mr. Ilyas, who safely guided us and took beautiful underwater photos.

Exceptional operator and excellent tour. Do not miss this unique experience in Muscat! - Don't miss this experience! Exceptional and professional tour operator. Excellent service - easy to book through our hotel, picked us up right on time and took us straight to boat. Fast and modern boat, great crew, snacks and drinks on board, excellent snorkelling equipment provided. Stopped and saw a pod of dolphins on way to island. Three unique snorkelling spots - all incredible. Captain snorkelled with us, pointing out marine life and took underwater videos which were airdropped to us on the way back. Absolute highlight of our time in Muscat and would definitely do again.

One of the best experiences ever... - This was a most memorable experience for our family...our captain and tour guide for the day was friendly, helpful and went out of his way to ensure that we were happy. The guy actually found us a school of whale sharks and stayed on the spot so we could take photos and interact with them..a once in a lifetime experience for us..Thank you sooo much for your hospitality..professionalism and dedication ..

The ONLY way to visit the Dimaniyat Islands- cannot recommend enough - This was my third time visiting the Dimaniyat Islands with Oman Sea Tour in the past few years, and the unrivaled level of professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service is what keeps me coming back. I regret ever going with another operator (i went before I discovered Oman Sea Tour) and I would never go with anyone but them. Faisal is a legend, kind, well organized, knowledgeable, and extremely welcoming. He is also extremely well respected on the islands, so if you ever book an overnight experience with camping, you will regret not booking with this incredible company. He will ensure your camp is away from the other tents on the nicest beach, the food is fresh and delicious, more than enough snacks, new and high quality snorkeling equipment etc. the list goes on and on. Add to this the fact that they have great boats, fully stocked with cold refreshments and with more than enough space for everyone to enjoy, and you have the recipe for an amazing time. Unfortunately we were not lucky enough to see the whale sharks on our trip yesterday, but we went and dove on the sunken military plane, the sunken trucks, as well as were lucky enough to swim with some eagle rays. I will be booking again in December when I plan on bringing my mother, and the rest of the family. Thank you Faisal and Oman Sea Tour for making every experience so magical. I guarantee that no other operator will give you the level of experience that Oman Sea Tour offers.

Best Snorkling Tour - before you book for a tour to Dimaniat Island make sure to ask for the access to the island because of the nesting season. I forgot To ask for it, but today I had fun with friend even for him was his first time. Our captain Ilyas was so profesional and attentive. The whole trip was with us showing where the turtles are. He wa so kind to take pics and make some vids near to turtles which almost at the end of the trip he share with the whole group. This trip is absolutely worth it if you’re looking for an activity during summer.
