After being picked up, you’ll be transferred to Marina Bandar Al Rowdha, where you’ll meet our professional crew who will welcome you aboard and prepare you for your exciting day.

Dolphin Watching Experience:

At 8:30 am, we set sail from the marina, beginning your day with an exciting dolphin-watching experience. Oman’s coastal waters are home to several species of dolphins, and this is the perfect opportunity to witness these playful creatures in their natural habitat. As you cruise through the waters, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins leaping and frolicking near the boat — a mesmerizing sight that will leave you in awe.

Snorkeling Adventure:

After the dolphin encounter, we’ll continue our journey to the Damaniyat Islands, a protected marine reserve that’s home to diverse coral reefs and vibrant marine life. Once at the islands, you’ll have the chance to dive into the turquoise waters and explore the colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Snorkeling gear will be provided to ensure your comfort and safety, allowing you to dive in and enjoy the underwater world up close. The coral gardens here are some of the most beautiful in Oman, making this a rare and exciting experience.

Beach Relaxation:

After your exhilarating snorkeling session, you’ll have time to relax on the pristine white sandy beaches of the islands. Take in the breathtaking surroundings, soak up the sun, or simply unwind in the peaceful atmosphere. The Damaniyat Islands are known for their tranquil beauty, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the serene beauty of Oman’s coastline.

Refreshments:

Picnic Lunch on the Beach:

As the morning transitions into afternoon, we’ll serve you a delicious picnic lunch right on the beach. Enjoy your meal surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the islands — the ideal setting for a peaceful and refreshing break. The lunch, accompanied by refreshing beverages, allows you to relax, chat, and recharge before continuing your exploration.
