• 5Beautiful Morning with Excellent Hospitality

  A nice cruise through the fjords seeing a few sites and lots of dolphins. The Dhow crew of two treated us like royalty and even filmed the dolphins for us.

• 5Highly reccomended!

  Amazing half day experience . The hosting team made it so flawless from the time they contact you after booking to delivering you back to your location. The dhow crew made everything we see many dolphins and made videos of them . The dhow captain sail very smooth which suits well for kids of different ages and adults. For several hours trip we were given fruits , water and juices. Dhow has small toilet and all the amenities needed for a short trip . I would highly recommend everyone to try this experience as you will love it. The scenes are beautiful and so chilling vibes .

• 5Great dhow cruise

  The trip was well organized. The pick-up from the cruise terminal was easy and the boat trip itself was very nice. The crew was very caring and provided drinks and fruits. We saw dolphins and had a nice bathing stop.

  Trip went well. The duo guide were able to make the dolphin follow us which was an amazing experience. One served cool drinks n fruit and the other helped me put on snorkel gear .The tour even had towels to dry off since i was in a hurry and didnt pack correct. Boat was perfect/ peacefully cruised the fjords. Thanks dolphin khasab tour

• 5A wonderful day out, admiring the beauty of Musandam

  During our recent trip to Musandam, among a flood of options for the Half-day Dhow cruise, we opted for the one by Dolphin Khasab Tours, based on the reviews we had read. This was one of the best decisions we took. I booked the tour only the previous evening, but the tour company was very helpful in arranging pick up and drop to and from our hotel and in answering our queries. On the morning of the cruise, we were picked up on time and taken to the port, from where we boarded the dhow. The dhow had 2 levels and was surprisingly for us, not too crowded, so we had plenty of space and travelled in comfort. We started for the Fjords and passed some beautiful rock faces and came across some hidden beaches, accessible only by sea. The highlight of the cruise were the beautiful dolphins, whom we got to see from two different points. It was surreal, watching them swim next to our boat. We then, passed through some old, isolated villages till we arrived at the Telegraph Island. The water here was crystal clear, with colorful fish all around us. Most people in our dhow had a swim, but we missed out this time. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and offered us a selection of fruits, coffee, juice and drinks to keep us hydrated during the trip. The facilities for shower, swimming etc were top notch. After a wonderful time at sea, we made the return journey taking in the sights of the fjords again. We had a wonderful experience with Dolphin Khasab Tours and will love to avail of their services again next time we are in Musandam.
