Touring and snorkeling at Daymaniyat Islands are one of the most enjoyabletrips. Nine small islands make up this snorkeling hotspot, with its brightly colored fish, sea turtles, and clear beautiful water. The islands are anatural preserve, uninhabited, completely natural, and protected by a marine reserve.

Departing from Jumeirah Muscat Bay or Marina Bandar Al Rowdha, we'll start our adventure with a thrilling dolphin watching experience, admiring the beautiful views of the coastline and limestone cliffs. We often see pods of over fifty dolphins, which dance around our boat! And you never know, we can have a high chance of witnessing various species of whale in their natural habitat along our whale watching session.

After this, we'll arrive at the Daymaniyat Islands, a group of nine uninhabited islands that are a protected nature reserve. It is a popular destination for snorkelling and diving due to the turquoise waters and abundant coral reef. We’ll explore the eastern part of the archipelago, where we'll discover the diverse marine life and crystal-clear waters of Turtle Bay during our first snorkelling session. The Daymaniyat Islands are known for their unique ecosystem, which includes over two-hundred species of fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and even whale sharks from around September until November. 

If you'd like to scuba dive here, please let us know in advance so we can prepare your gear for this. There is an extra charge for scuba diving, with all gear included and different levels for certified and uncertified divers. 

After our snorkelling adventure, we'll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, surrounded by the pristine nature of the islands. We'll then head to Coral Bay for our second snorkelling session, where we'll witness more colorful coral reefs and exotic fish. As we sail back to Muscat, we'll take in the stunning views of the coastline and landmarks of old Muscat, enjoying the beautiful sunset. We'll see the historical forts and watchtowers that line the coast, learning about the rich history of Oman. 

There's an optional extra to experience a unique fishing adventure around Fahal Island on this tour too. Just let us know if you'd like to add this to your trip.
