This five-hour snorkeling tour takes visitors to several spots around the nine islands in the Daymaniat Nature Reserve. Participants can see sea turtles, sharks, rays, and a variety of colorful fish. The tour includes use of snorkeling gear and provides snacks, bottled water, and lunch served on the boat. Guides lead the group to the best snorkeling areas and assist with equipment and safety throughout the trip. Guests are responsible for bringing their own towels. This wildlife-focused tour requires basic swimming skills and is available for guests aged five and above.
After a 45–50 minute boat ride from Al Mouj Marina, we arrive at the beautiful Daymaniat Islands Nature Reserve, located around 26 km off the coast of Muscat. During your snorkeling trip, we visit two different snorkeling locations, selected according to the sea conditions on the day. The Daymaniat Islands are home to an incredible variety of marine life, and you may encounter green and hawksbill turtles, blacktip reef sharks, rays, moray eels and many colorful reef fish. From November to April, when beach access is permitted, we usually include a beach stop between the snorkeling sessions. You’ll have time to relax, explore the island, take photos and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. From May to October, the beaches are closed to visitors to protect nesting turtles and seabirds. During this period, we enjoy the islands entirely from the boat and in the water. We are proud Green Tourism Silver Award holders and are committed to responsible marine tourism. There is no single-use plastic on our trips, and we encourage our guests to help us protect the beautiful environment we are privileged to visit.
