Wonderful! Would do over and over again! - My tour guide was Mahmood and he made this amazing tour that much more special. His love for his country and his job flow freely through the tour and the information he provides. He is able to modify the tour to fit each travelers' comfort and ability levels. The hike through Wadi Shab to the waterfalls feels other-worldly. It is just stunning! Book the tour, you won't regret it! If you get to choose your guide, Mahmood is the Man!

Do it you won’t be disappointed - Ok as a person that doesn’t float but can swim, throw on a life jacket for a few dollars and have an amazing experience. I recommend getting your own water proof cell case for photos so it’s better than what is sold there, cost effective but not great, bring water shoes or really good hiking water proof sandals or buy the cheap ones there. This experience is well worth it a long day but great guidance and care provided. Flips flops not a good idea you need to have some agility for this for sure, The sink hole was a little disappointing but refreshing after the hike out. Food and snacks were ample but if you want something that you love just buy it and being it along don’t forget a towel, highly recommend met like minded people on this tour enjoy

Adventure to Wadi Shab - I had a fantastic experience on the Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole tour. Our tour guide, Mahmood, was attentive and delivered excellent service, ensuring we had everything we needed. The hike to Wadi Shab is quite intense in the heat, but it’s worth it once you reach the beautiful pools. Highly recommended for those looking for an adventurous and rewarding day out!

Not an easy trekking in the heat but rewarding views of the waterfall in the end - It IS a fantastic experience in a beautiful landscape. Absolutely 5 Stars worth, amazing! BUT in May it's a demanding walk in the heat, you have to be fit! And please take the offer of the life jacket if you're not a good swimmer, no false pride. Makes it easier for the guide and the rest of the tour group. The last pool is deep and long, no possibilities to hold to the rocks at the side, they are too slippery.

A great family day in Wadi Shab ! - What a great day ! It was exactly what we were hoping for : aventure and discovery in family! Given the fact we were with 3 Kids (12 / 10 and 6 years old). The site is stunning of course. We were led by a sportive and passionate guide, Hamood, who shared a lot of the culture and history of his country. The rythm was really good and adapted : no rush, true enjoyement and yet a very full day. Not only a guide, we really felt that Hamood took care of each of us.

Wadi Shab couple tour - Our first attempt to visit Wadi Shab on Sunday, April 14th was unfortunately unsuccessful due to heavy rains. However, the tour company kindly allowed us to reschedule for free, and we went again the following weekend - what an unforgettable experience! A few tips: be sure to purchase special water shoes for swimming and a waterproof case to take pictures and videos in and under the water. The views are breathtaking and something you'll remember for a lifetime. While water is provided, it's advisable to bring additional drinks as well. If you're not a strong swimmer, you can rent a life jacket for just 1 Omani Rial as there is a significant amount of swimming involved. The second time around was simply magical. If we return to Oman, a visit to Wadi Shab is an absolute must. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike! The journey through the canyon, wading through water, and emerging into hidden pools was like stepping into another world. Don't miss this incredible natural wonder.

Fantastic experience but you need to be fit! - Fantastic trip but you need to be pretty fit as the walk there is over really rough terrain. We could not have done it without the help of our excellent guide! The pools were lovey and refreshing and the have worth the squeeze through the opening. I think the sinkhole was a waste of time - we would have preferred more time at the wadi I. The pools there staying cool!.
