He ensured we were well briefed, and entertained throughout. Sani also helped me get accustomed to snorkelling - taking me out in to the waters where I was able to spot exotic wildlife. Thank you Captain! 🫡”

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…”
