What a day it was! The whole family loved the experience: pick-up from the hotel on time, the whole crew is super friendly and knowledgeable. We were not sure if we would see wild dolphins during the trip but we really didn’t had to worry. We saw them several times during our trip thanks to our dolphins whisperer. We took so many amazing videos with dolphin jumping, crossing each other. We had food and drinks the whole day along. We highly recommend this trip!!!

The entire crew were extremely professional and kind, from the moment we got picked up all the way to the drop off in the evening. The dhow is clean and equiped with everything that is needed for the short trip. They provide towels, if needed. There is a small shower too. The food was very nice. And the trip itself absolutely astonishing. Excellent snorkeling, in blue and cool waters.

Outstanding trip. Easy, comfortable shuttle bus ride from our doorstep in Dubai to the boat Khasab. Friendly, attentive crew provided plentiful cold drinks, buffet lunch, and fresh fruit and helped my elderly mother so that she could lay down on the floor pillows and swim with everyone else (she uses a wheelchair). Would definitely book this trip again.
