Oman · MUSCAT TOURS
Muscat is the base for more of Oman than its size suggests: the Daymaniyat boats, the Wadi Shab run and the desert all leave from here. These 15 are the days worth giving up a morning for, with prices, pickup points and how early each one starts.

“Booking this trip was easy with instant confirmation. The Gidoman operator contacted us via WhatsApp with clear meeting details and even created a group chat with the other travellers, which was very helpful. Our tour guide, Omar, was fantastic—attentive, caring and always looking out for us. He even bought chips and water for everyone, which was a thoughtful touch. The trip itself was excellent. At Wadi Shab, we didn’t have to pay for life jackets or waterproof cases; only 1 OMR for water shoes. The 45-minute hike can be challenging, but the scenic views made it worthwhile. We had ample time for swimming and exploring. A delicious traditional Omani lunch…”
See dolphins, turtles, and Muscat’s coast on a two-hour Nobles Marine boat tour with guides, drinks, hotel pickup, and flexible booking.
“Great experience from start to finish. We got picked up from the hotel at the agreed time and the boat tour was really wonderful. We got to see lots of doplhins! Once the dolphin watching was over, the boat took us to a couple of sights nearby which was good too. And we got some refreshments, water and juice. Overall, a really great tour that I highly recommend. Perhaps the only negative comment would be that we arrived at the marina late and therefore the tour started late, but this was not due to the organiser but due to people arriving late for the pickup. So make sure you're on…”
