Dolphin Watching, Coastal Cruising, Fishing and Snorkelling
Dolphin watching:
The sea around Muscat is rich in life due to its location and seasonal cold-water currents.
Dolphins such as spinner, bottlenose, and common dolphins are often sighted.
Other marine life includes whale sharks (May to October), false killer whales, humpback whales, orcas, Arabian whales, and blue whales.
Responsible wildlife-watching practices are followed to protect the resident sea creatures and ensure a quality experience.
Coastal tour:
Explore the rocky cliffs, fishing villages, historical forts, and watchtowers along the Muscat coast.
Historical structures dating back to Portuguese control (1507-1650) can be observed.
The conflict between Portugal, Britain, and the rulers of the Sultanate of Oman left behind many historical landmarks.
Visit cultural structures such as Al Alam Palace, Al Bahar Street, and Souq Mutrah.
Enjoy a sunset view behind Muscat's limestone cliffs during the cruise.
Fishing experience:
Engage in a fishing experience with local Omani anglers to learn about local culture and fishing techniques.
Fishing captains from nearby villages share their knowledge of local fisheries, fish behaviour, and seasons.
Trolling techniques are offered as an introduction to fishing around Muscat.
Snorkelling:
Explore the Omani coastline, featuring rocky cliffs and wadis described as the "Omani Fjords."
Discover quiet and naturally protected spaces for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, and SUP board use.
Snorkelling sites are shallow, rich in colourful corals, and accessible year-round, with hawksbill turtles and green turtles often seen.
