Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our tours, departure point and what to expect.

So what kind of trips do you actually run?

Snorkelling tours and fishing charters out of Al Mouj Marina in Muscat. Three flavours: a shared half-day snorkelling trip to the Daymaniyat Islands (most popular, easiest to book onto), private snorkelling charters where the boat is yours for the day, and private fishing trips with a licensed captain who knows where the fish actually are.

Where do we meet you?

Al Mouj Marina, Street 6, Muscat 113 — about 15 minutes from Muscat International Airport and 25 minutes from central Muscat. We send full directions when you book, but if you drop "Al Mouj Marina" into Google Maps you will land right at our gate.

How far is it to the Daymaniyat Islands?

Roughly 18 km offshore — a 35 to 45 minute boat ride from Al Mouj Marina, depending on the sea. Dolphins often turn up on the way, so the journey is part of the show.

What will we actually see down there?

Hawksbill and green sea turtles year-round, hundreds of species of tropical reef fish, vibrant hard and soft corals, stingrays, and moray eels — the full reef cast. From August to November, whale sharks pass through the Daymaniyat Islands waters. Nobody honest guarantees marine life, but turtle sightings on our snorkelling tours are very, very common.

When's the best time to come?

October to May is prime time — calmest seas, clearest water (visibility usually 15–25 metres), and the most comfortable weather. May to October is sea turtle nesting season, so the islands themselves are off-limits to land on, but the snorkelling around them stays excellent. If whale sharks are top of your list, aim for August to November.

How do I book?
